Review: The Raid
Posted by Ali at 07:00 on 14 May 2012 Reviews A-Z
The Raid is a martial arts movie of such ferocious pace, you'll swear you're watching it on the wrong speed. A shaken-up energy drink of a movie, once unleashed it fizzes out of the can, leaving you adrenalized – and sticky. It's the kind of unapologetic action movie – shorn neatly of any unnecessarily frills – that knows its strengths, has a clear goal and homes in on it with laser precision. Entertainment, truly thy name is an Indonesian guy killing a bunch of criminals with a fridge.

Absolutely loved it. It had a "Zu Warriors from the Magic Mountain" vibe to it in that it seemed like it was 4 hours or so long but was less than half that. I'm buzzing now, and a movie hasn't done that to me in a long time. The hype is justified in this case.
