Leave your thoughts about The Raid.
| EmpireSimon CrookRemember your first time with Hard Boiled? Die Hard? This is how it's done - a clean, hard, constant hit of adrenalin. If it's not the best action movie of the year, we'll eat a fridge. |
| Time OutDavid FearThere are moments when The Raid: Redemption doesn't feel like an action movie so much as pure action itself, delivered in strong, undiluted doses and with the sort of creative one-upmanship capable of rejuvenating a stale, seen-it-all genre. |
| New York Magazine (Vulture)Bilge EbiriOnce the action starts - and it starts very quickly - The Raid is relentless, breathtaking in its sheer propulsive majesty. But it's also shot through with moments of bleak poetry amid the carnage. |
| Portland OregonianShawn LevyThis is the sort of film for which the phrase 'movie-movie' was coined -- and coined as a term of highest praise. |
| Christian Science MonitorAndy KleinExtraordinary stunt and fight work and nonstop excitement, but a warning to those who are at all squeamish: this may be the most violent movie I've ever seen. |
| Los Angeles TimesGary GoldsteinIt's exhausting, exhilarating, riveting stuff that fans of high-octane filmmaking should not miss. |
| IndieWireEric KohnAmerican action movies are almost entirely defined by cutaways, blaring music cues and grunts. The Raid: Redemption, a hyper-energetic Indonesian martial arts movie, delivers an effective rebuke to that meek norm. Bones break, blood flows and swift, excessively complicated fight choreography puts virtually everything released in North America since "The Bourne Ultimatum" to instant shame. |
| USA TodayScott BowlesUnapologetically brutal and unencumbered by much plot, Raid is the year's most turbo-charged film. |
| SalonAndrew O'HehirIt offers some of the best Asian martial-arts choreography of recent years and an electric, claustrophobic puzzle-palace atmosphere that'll leave you wrung out and buzzed. |
| Boston GlobeTy BurrPoised at the midway point between an ultraviolent video game and a neo-classic dance musical. As midnight-movie mash-ups go, it's pretty amazing. |
