1 Ruthless Crime Lord, 20 Elite Cops, 30 Floors of Hell.

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.

Andres Gomez 7/10

Oh, good, the plot, the dialogues and the performances of the characters are plainly terrible. Other than that, if you are looking for an action movie with tons of "dancing" fights, this is your movie.

Gimly 8/10

Despite being an early entry, _The Raid_ is arguably the most revolutionary action movie of the past decade. And the decade is almost over. Iko Uwais is clear talent when it comes to this sort of stunt work, and with the exception of a little too much shakey-cam near the start, you get a really look at him (and the rest of the cast) doing their thing, a lesson which the majority of Hollywood action movies nowadays…

CinemaSerf 7/10

In the centre of Jakarta, a criminal fraternity pretty much own a residential block where they carry on with impunity. “Tama” (Ray Sahetapy) is the kingpin who pretty much does as he pleases and has a small army at his back when the police arrive to close him down. This is an heavily armed SWAT team but what soon becomes evident is that they are outnumbered and outgunned and that their boss has engaged in this…

Dr Nostromo 8/10

82/100 A rookie SWAT team raids a 15-story building controlled by a major crime lord. Let the slaughter begin. The film is often sighted as the premiere example of the new wave Asian action film and for good reason.
