The Raid

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

The Raid

This is a fantastic action movie, with almost perfect choreography and camera work that creates a sense of claustrophobic tension.
The plot is simple and that is what this film needs. Essentially a believable reason to be in this situation.

9.5/10

this appritiat the Best action movie in your last pick

I rewatched this after Black Window to forget the horrible fight choreography (or whatever that was) in that movie.

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

**SO. MUCH. FUNNNNNNNN**
Safe to say I wasn't raid-y for that (that was a horrible pun)

The action of this movie was phenomenal, it was as if they were trying to tell me a story by punching me. During the whole runtime , I was on the edge of my seat and my god I don't think I've ever been excited when watching an action movie like I was today. It was a rollercoaster of just...killing..punching...kicking. And believe me when I say, there are no pit stops.

This is an easy 9/10 for me, as soon as I pressed play I was glued to the screen with the fight scenes, and the score which elevates the action sequences and makes it a 100 times better. Every fight scene of this movie is so perfectly directed from the choreography to the camera angles, props to the cameramen. On the flip side though, setting aside all the actions sequences, you have a movie with little to no plot, and the characters were probably the weakest part of the movie for me, no development whatsoever, they try to add in some heart to heart moments that serve no emotional values due to the shallow character arcs and ends up being a bit cheesy.

From the first act, you're set for a ride, you'll never be bored, similar to John Wick but Raid makes even John Wick look like a Disney movie. The three acts passed by so quick, _10% Dialogue 90% Fighting_, and boy did it work.

Overall, The Raid is 1h 40 minutes of pure adrenaline rush like a food menu with a wide range of action scenes and no side dishes for character development.

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.

>"Our mission is simple: we go in, and we take him out. "

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.

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.
