The Raid: Redemption
Director: Gareth
Evans
Script: Gareth Evans
Writer: Gareth Evans
Actors: Iko Uwais
Genre: Martial Arts (Indonesian)
Plot: An elite force
consisting of 20 cops raids a building which is the HQ of a drug overlord. The
force divides itself into 2 teams and goes up.
By the time they reach 5th floor, someone raises alarm. On the PA system, the boss asks his tenants
(who are mostly mobsters & crooks), to kill the policemen & claim
permanent residence on the flat. The police team is ambushed and lose most of
the team members. The commander of this mission gets a jolt when
he is told that since this a secret mission, they won’t get any reinforcements,
and they are on their own. Rama (Iko Uwais), a rookie
member of this team and an expert fighter in Pencak Silat, an Umbrella term for
Indonesian Martial arts, wants to be back with his family for the anticipated
birth of his first child. He must fight his
way out of the enemy citadel.
My views: If you love
martial arts movies, and on screen violence is okay with you, then go for
it. You will enjoy the fights
choreographed with exhilarating background score. Iko Uwais is very good as the indefatigable Rama.
