It's just called 'The Raid' over here I got my steelbook Blu Ray through the post yesterday from Play.com (for once Play.com actually delivered something early, i was stunned!). I saw it at the cinema but watched it again last night and i still loved it, the fight scene choreography is amazing.

I've had the R1 Blu Ray of this for a few weeks.


It's a very good action movie, not particularly high on plot but it kind of does not matter with this kind of movie...the fight seqences are what make it stand out.


The plot revolves around a swat team going into a dilapidated tenement block where a drug lord is holed up, but it is heavily guarded, mainly by the residents themselves. In true video game fashion, the cops have to work themselves up the various levels of the block, battling the heavily armed residents.


There is a lot of hand-to-hand, close combat, using a variety of fighting styles...and lots of knives, swords and machete's. It's very bloody and brutal, but the fight sequences are very inventive, and for once it's filmed in such a way that you can appreciate the choreography...no dizzying camerawork or fast editing

Watched it today. I wasn't impressed, over hyped.

Got the fantastic looking steelbook from play, enjoyed the film but not as amazing as it was made out to be. I'm actually looking forwards to how they do it again in the American remake that's coming.
