Despite the blistering pace and lightning-fast fight scenes, this Indonesian film maintains total coherence – and is a refreshing watch over Hollywood franchises
has established itself as an action movie classic. The fierce Indonesian film raised eyebrows upon its release in 2011, thanks to its high levels of violence and the mind-boggling. Gaining fans far outside the reach of a cult movie, many of the stars of The Raid have gone on to appear in everything from Star Wars to Mortal Kombat to John Wick.
Unfortunately for the cops, they find themselves in a hole when their presence is almost immediately revealed. The criminal gang blocks off the exits and traps them on the fifth floor – too high to climb down and too far from their target. Over the building’s loudspeaker, Tama announces that any tenants who help to kill the cops will be allowed to live there rent free.
Highlights, in a movie full of them, include a scene in which Mad Dog pauses amid the chaos to explain why he doesn’t like guns, describing “squeezing the trigger is like ordering takeout” – before unleashing a maelstrom of brutal physicality upon an unsuspecting copper.
