Story wise it isn't anything great but at the same time it's better than most martial arts films due to interesting twists and being incredibly well paced to before you know it its over and you want more. It's not your typical ultra clean fighting that has been done to death but something that looks real and desperate at times as people try to survive outnumbered. I've seen other great foreign action films like Ong-Bak, The Protector, and Ip man but The Raid surpasses them by highlighting a martial art style not shown in any recent films. The Raid proves again how far behind American action films are. The action is a mix of shootouts, hand to hand weapons, and mostly good ol' fashioned fists. If your seeing this movie, it's because you want to see action and The Raid hit every mark. Rarely our my high expectation met but The Raid surpassed it. After seeing the trailer, I knew I had to see this movie.
