Simple plot, brutal action sequences, stylised choreographed fights. What more could you want ? The initial part of the film is tense and exciting and the action sequences are all beautifully choreographed and edited. That being said, the film does being to suffer a little in the final part as fatigue over the relentless action begins to set in. The director seems to realise this as the film is quite short but including some twists into a plot which was barely there in the first place seems superfluous and a little forced. Still entertaining though, but lets hope the sequel just doesn't repeat the formula.

an action movie with a lot of fighting but it was really boring.

If you seen Donnie Yen films, then you will definately like this. The Raid is an Indonesian film with no name international actors in it, but this guys can fight. From gun action to hard hitting hardcore martial arts, this film has a lot of action to take your attention away from the very simple storyline. There is no acting here, but the action is enough to really grab your attention. Definately recommended for martial arts and action fans..

30 floors of absolute hell and pure martial arts, nothing else. I loved it, and creative fighting scenes

One of the best action flicks I've seen in a while.

Flawless action choreography, badass martial arts fights, brutal bloody kills, guns going berzerk, unhinged villains, simple plot, the classic action music... ***The Raid*** is the action flick that's got it all. I love the camera angles, they're always showing the right stuff especially during the fight sequences you can always see everything that's happening from the perfect angles. If I had to criticise it on something it would be the characters, they're a bit one-dimensional and the story is very simple. I can't say i've seen that many martial arts fights in movies before but these are hands down the best i've ever seen they're so intense and epic I got goosebumps in the final fight, so damn epic! These fight sequences are what sets it apart from any other action movie i've seen before. A must-watch for every action and martial arts lover.

They managed to do a relentless, quick-paced and beautiful film without the insane action or brutal violence seeming too gratuitous. The choreography is incredible and while the story is pretty simple, it kept me on the edge of my seat til the end.

This was really good. The plot is really only there to give people an excuse to fight but fight they do and its brutal with about every way you can think of to kill someone with a pistol or a knife at play. Very stylish martial arts action the whole way through and an exciting ride.

some scenes dont make sense , for example:

1: the cop removed his bullet proof vest in the middle of the fight.
2: the cop stabbed a light tube into the neck of the bad guy. Impossible !!

Dredd's new movie seems to be based on this, a lot of action, fights and shots, without filters or cuts

this appritiat the Best action movie in your last pick

For Material-Arts-Fans OK! The story ist boring...

I go with the same:
- Storyline: 2 Martial Arts: 9

Holy shit, this movie is like Daredevil, Warrior(Warrior has Joe Taslim who played Sgt. Jaka here!), Banshee, Gangs of London, all on fucking steroids!! Absolutely insane action movie. Definitely one of the best I've watched! I highly recommend watching it if you like action movies.

You know, I think if you love martial arts, most of us can agree that Iko Uwais is extremely underrated! This man has skills! His fighting style and abilities are phenomenal. He's among one of my few favorites male martial arts performers, next to Donnie Yen, Jet Lee, and Bruce Lee. If it were not for the incredibly poor audio English translations, I would have given this movie a higher rating. However, this is a movie worth watching! #ActionMovies #AsianActionMovies

I love movies with Iko Uwais. The fight scenes are awesome!
