The film follows a group of cops who are assigned to take down a ruthless crime lord, but not before first going through 30 floors of henchmen and residents who are to take these cops down. The premise is awesome, and it gets executed even better. The great thing about this film is that it is not all gun-toting and knife-wielding. This is a film that features head-banging (quite literally), hand to hand combat, and much, much more that I will not spoil for you so you will see this film. The film is also quite clever in its dialogue. This is a film that, unlike most action films, revolves around the story as well as the action scenes. Twists and turns are thrown at you left and right, and the dialogue is very intense and clever. Also, the bad guys, especially the main drug kingpin are awesome.
This is going to be a very short review due to the fact that I can't sit here and explain to you how much I loved this film. Writer-Director Gareth Evans, a Welsh man does a fantastic job at creating a great environment and a fantastic series of action sequence. Go see The Raid: Redemption.....now. Well, what are you waiting for? It's phenomenal to an extraordinary degree.
(5 out of 5 stars, The film is rated R for strong brutal bloody violence throughout, and language)
