A rookie member of an elite team of commandos, Rama (Iko Uwais) is instructed to hang back while his comrades-in-arms go ahead with their mission to take down a brutal crime lord called Tama (Ray Sahetapy). However, the team's cover is blown, and Tama offers sanctuary to every criminal in his high-rise apartment block in exchange for the cops' heads. Now Rama must take command and lead his remaining team on an ultraviolent charge through the building to complete -- and survive -- the mission.

[Redemption] is a relentless, bloody, brutal action movie, with successive scene after scene of balls-to-the-wall-style choreographed violence.

Hollywood is particularly unsuited to producing sensation cinema these days.

My only complaint about The Raid is that it ended.

There’s something a bit poetic and inevitable about the moralizing division, and it cuts even deeper with a brother on each side of the camera’s axis.

4/5

Immensely fresh in that it truly feels like a film that will harm you at any given moment.

Not only do the two actors make an indelible impression with their physical prowess, Evans’s direction and storytelling draws us in further so that each moment of character desperation holds audiences in a steel grip.

The Raid: Redemption (2012) This movie is sensational! Frenetic action from beginning to end, brutal, bloody violence just the way action fans like it. The story itself is weak and lacks any definitive resolution.

Non-Stop action keeps you at the edge of your seat. It’s very worthy as one of the best in the martial arts genre!

Blending beautifully brutal martial arts choreography with visceral, modern-warfare-style combat inside a harrowing, labyrinthine setting, The Raid: Redemption is a modern action masterpiece!

The Raid: Redemption delivers exactly what action fans want: fast pacing, intense combat, and unforgettable fight scenes. The story is simple but effective, allowing the incredible action sequences to take center stage. A thrilling, hard-hitting film that still stands among the best action movies ever made.

The Raid: Redemption was one of those movies I watched when I was a child, and I still remember how intense and exciting it felt. Back then, I probably didn't understand every part of the story, but I knew I was completely hooked by the action from beginning to end. Watching it again later made me appreciate it even more. The fight scenes are fast, creative, and feel different from many action movies. There are no long, boring moments because the movie keeps the energy going almost the whole time. I also noticed details I had missed when I was younger and realized how well everything was put together. This movie stayed in my memory for years, and not many films can do that. It was exciting as a kid and still impressive now, definitely one of the action movies that left a strong impression on me.
