The Raid reviews

Excellent fighting scenes, using Silat at times, then when the penultimate fight starts between two brothers against one guy its everything you could hope for excelling on all levels. This movie is right up there with the likes of the 1st Ong Bak, Ip Man 1 & 2, you will not be disapointed.

Very different to most martial arts movies. Most seem to show off the martial art like ‘look I'm doing amazing fighting’ or ‘look this is an art.’ This makes it about fighting for survival not for show. But then also shows off some pretty cool moves.
I had it standard but then bought Blu-ray. Differences between the two are the music playing on the menu and the background music as the good guys start moving up levels before they get discovered. Also there are more special features.
Can't wait for the sequel. It's original name will be Berandal but it might just be called ‘The Raid 2’ for us.

Brilliant action, no crazy shacky cam and proper martial arts skills.

Gripping fight scenes from start to finish, a must for any fan of action and martial arts.
