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.

Reviews

statikflux Horrible fight scenes, horrible pacing, horrible story, horrible camera work, horrible dubbing, horrible propaganda. I think they spent more on bots giving this movie a good review than they did on the actual movie itself.

mmmmbanemmmm A great atmospheric action martial arts movie the raid redemption and the raid 2 are the best action martial arts crime thrillers ever made real authentic hardcore movies like mad max and matrix and ip man really fun to watch over and over

pjfarley The movie takes place in the slums of Jakarta Indonesia. There is a drug overlord who is named Tama Riyadi. In the film, a swat team begins their mission to take down this drug lord. He lives in his apartment with all of his minions and associates. The swat team attempts their invasion of the building but are caught in a dangerous situation when their cover is blown. They are now trapped within the building and are lead by Lieutenant Wahyu in a deadly and action packed fight to survive. There is no backup coming to save them. There is no escape as the swat team would be killed if caught outside without cover. Their only option is to fight their way through Tama's men and kill the drug lord. I really enjoyed watching this film. One of my favorite scenes in the movie was when Rama and Dagu create a makeshift bomb to survive one of the many battles. This to me showed the extensive military training these men had. Another part that I enjoyed was when Mad Dog challenged Jaka to a fair fight with hand to hand combat. This was really cool as I love the hand to hand combat fight scenes and the choreography that it requires to make it look realistic. I really enjoyed the ending as it seemed relatively happy which, although I was always hoping for, I wasn't sure it would actually happen because it is not always guaranteed in foreign films which is exciting.

dissident320 Visually this movie is great. The camera is always moving, it's fast and enjoyable. They do some really interesting things when they're playing the story out with action. It's when things slow down that it really started to not work for me. I didn't find these characters interesting or the story of why they were there. Each time it tried to inject more plot I was utterly bored.The movie comes alive when anyone fights so it's a shame that there's a few dialogue scenes so late in the movie that had me bored out of my mind. It is on the whole a fairly fun movie and supposedly the second one is even better. Hopefully it won't take me five years to watch it like this one.
