The Raid (2011) 8/10

Starring : Iko Uwais, Joe Taslim, Donny Alamsyah, Yayan Ruhian
Director : Gareth Huw Evans
Running Time : 101 mins

An Indonesian SWAT team is sent into the thirty storey tower block that operates as a safe house for a powerful drug lord and his motley crew of deadly killers. When one of the young residents of the tower block warn of the arrival of the police, the SWAT team find themselves trapped in the building with no back up and a limited supply of ammunition to protect themselves with.

When it comes to action packed ultra-violent movies. This has to be up there with the best of them. This starts of slowly, but once the police get trapped in the building the over-the-top fight scenes and the ultra-violent action really gets going in full force. At some points I didn’t even bother reading the subtitles, as the action really spoke for itself as the lone copper tries to fight off the seemingly endless series of villains that are out to get him. A must watch for any action fans.
