Deep in the heart of Jakarta's slums lies an impenetrable safe house for the world's most dangerous killers and gangsters. Until now, the run-down apartment block has been considered untouchable to even the bravest of police. Cloaked under the cover of pre-dawn darkness and silence, an elite swat team is tasked with raiding the safe house in order to take down the notorious drug lord that runs it. But when a chance encounter with a spotter blows their cover and news of their assault reaches the drug lord, the building's lights are cut and all the exits blocked. Stranded on the sixth floor with no way out, the unit must fight their way through the city's worst to survive their mission. Starring Indonesian martial arts sensation Iko Uwais.

Oh, good, the plot, the dialogues and the performances of the characters are plainly terrible. Other than that, if you are looking for an action movie with tons of "dancing" fights, this is your movie.

Despite being an early entry, _The Raid_ is arguably the most revolutionary action movie of the past decade. And the decade is almost over. Iko Uwais is clear talent when it comes to this sort of stunt work, and with the exception of a little too much shakey-cam near the start, you get a really look at him (and the rest of the cast) doing their thing, a lesson which the majority of Hollywood action movies nowadays apparently needs to re-learn. _Final rating:★★★★ - Very str… Read more
ong appeal. A personal favourite._

In the centre of Jakarta, a criminal fraternity pretty much own a residential block where they carry on with impunity. “Tama” (Ray Sahetapy) is the kingpin who pretty much does as he pleases and has a small army at his back when the police arrive to close him down. This is an heavily armed SWAT team but what soon becomes evident is that they are outnumbered and outgunned and that their boss has engaged in this perilous operation without advising his bosses - so there will be… Read more
no reinforcements, or better still, a few missiles fired into the place from a well placed helicopter. The building is riddled with CCTV so the police movements are easily monitored and quite swiftly “Lt. Wahyu” (Pierre Gruno) is down to a mere handful of folk as they try to ascend to the seventh floor. Fortunately, one of them is “Rama” (Iko Uwais) who is no slouch when it comes to martial arts and with some assistance from an unexpected source, battle lines are drawn. The dark and dingy building provides a good venue for their graphically violent activity and though it is definitely repetitive, especially later when it seems determined never to end, the sheer gymnastic athleticism here is impressive. It’s a vehicle for the charismatic Uwais to show just how nimble he can be against machine guns, pistols, machetes and fridges and packs plenty in. The story plays out predictably and at times really does suffer from a ridiculous degree of an immortality syndrome with characters surviving the most impossible of physical injuries to keep on breathing, let alone fighting - but this isn’t meant to be reality, it’s a showcase of athletes that has a video game mentality and rarely stops for breath.

82/100 A rookie SWAT team raids a 15-story building controlled by a major crime lord. Let the slaughter begin. The film is often sighted as the premiere example of the new wave Asian action film and for good reason. Except for those few moments where the film lets you catch your breath, it is non-stop, full throttle action, violence and some of the finest choreographed fight sequences I've ever witnessed. In fact, if I had a criticism, it would be that some fight sequences… Read more
were a bit too long but you can't blame them for being boring. Characters were great, too. Banger! - DrNostromo.com
