Showcasing some of the best Asian martial-arts choreography of recent years, The Raid follows a special forces team as they launch a daring raid on a rundown Jakarta apartment complex controlled by a ruthless crime lord named Tama Riyadi.
The team’s mission to apprehend Tama and dismantle his criminal empire quickly goes awry when they are discovered by Tama’s henchmen, who seal off the building and trap the officers inside. Amid the chaos, rookie officer Rama emerges as the protagonist. Showcasing remarkable combat skills, he forms uneasy alliances with tenants and confronts Tama’s enforcers, including the fearsome Mad Dog, as the body count rises.
Praised for its innovative approach to martial arts cinema, with its breathtaking choreography and gritty realism, the film has earned acclaim from audiences and critics alike. The Raid is pulse-pounding action and intense character-driven drama, standing as a modern classic in the genre and solidifying Gareth Evans’ reputation as a master of action filmmaking.

I have to say that I was really surprised by what is still possible to do in an action movie. This is truly butchery. One apartment building and a proper group of people who want to kick some asses. There is shooting, but primarily hands and feet are used. These are the scenes that will absolutely blow you away, and you will be amazed. You don't just see such carnage easily. It's pounding from the beginning to the end, and moreover, it looks incredibly real.

That long-haired walking holocaust especially, who gives soda to the main characters even with a fluorescent light down his throat, is really growing on me, and the fact that the animals are really, really badly hurting each other and it looks so real that I'm still not sure there weren't people dying in the filming, gives truth to the claim that films kicked off with a convo like "Here’s a building and a million bucks, do what you want." "Okay." might be the real thing.

An assault of pure physicality that more than anything else harms its own aura. With the label "action spectacle of the year" or even the decade, the expectation automatically arises that something more will emerge from The Raid: Redemption than just a bloody brawl. It doesn't – and it's not necessary. In the catalog of Indonesian fatalities, the boiling adrenaline was most heightened by seemingly inconspicuous but deadly Mad Dog Yayan Ruhian. His main performance, in which he gradually transitions from rubber jumps, twists, and turns to gathering the last remnants of strength for the hardest blow, literally takes your breath away.

An uncompromising action cutup that, despite the brilliant fight choreography, feels slightly repetitive, especially in its second half. In any case, the final impression is very strong, because I've probably never seen anything like it. A perfect example of a film where the characters themselves merely play second fiddle and where everything is strictly orchestrated for an intense, brutal action experience.

A bloody punch-up that is the perfect embodiment of the action adventure movie. The plot is maybe as simple as the thought processes of the Hotel Paradise guests, a SWAT team raids an apartment block of bad-ass killers and come up against tough resistance, but prevail. Amazing choreography, no shortage of brutality, blood splatters, fight dosage according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Yayan Ruhian is a killing machine and Iko Uwais is a grandmaster. Shinoda’s soundtrack is great for this movie.
