The Raid
My Little Empire Review
The Raid or The Raid Redemption is one of the best action movies of the year. Yes it is subtitled but you can also watch it with English audio and it certainly does not take any thing away from it. Basic story is a swat team decide to go after a drug lord who lives on the top floor of a building and they are in for a surprise. There are some great close quarter contact fighting (the the buildings hall ways) all the way through. There is bomb, guns, machetes and hammers used as weapon and not to overlook the great hand to hand fights. who will survive? The music was put togeather by linkin park mike shinoda. So you know it sound good. This is a serious action movie. A must for any action movie fan.

Deep in the heart of one of Jakarta’s most deprived slums stands an impenetrable high-rise apartment block. To most it is 30 floors of Hell to be avoided at all costs but for many of the city’s most dangerous killers and gangsters, including the area’s most notorious crime lord, it is a fortress-like safe house protecting them from the law. Even for the bravest and most experienced police officers it is considered a no-go area.
In a desperate bid to flush these violent criminals and their leader from their haven once and for all, an elite SWAT team is tasked with infiltrating the building and raiding the apartments floor by floor, taking out anyone who stands in their way. Cloaked under the cover of pre-dawn darkness, the SWAT members make their move and enter the block not realising that this is the easier part of the mission. Once inside, it soon becomes terrifyingly apparent that the real problem at hand is surviving long enough to be able to get out again. – read more on amazon.co.uk
