A SWAT team arrives at a rundown apartment block with a mission to remove its owner, a notorious drug lord named Tama. The building has never been raided before, never been touched by police. Seen as a no-go zone, it has since become a sanctuary to killers, gangs, rapists, and thieves seeking accommodation in the one place they know they cannot be touched. Making their move in the break of dawn, the SWAT team works its way up the building under cover of silence.

A very action-packed film set in Jakarta, Indonesia,.. with authentic looking hand-to-hand combat, if a bit too much of it. (Too bad they ran out of ammo so soon ?) I hope the Indonesians continue to make more such films,.. but with more story, and much more footage of their beautiful country.

Well, if you like action, martial-arts, and just lots of crazy violence, this is the movie for you. Not much else to say. The choreography of the fighting is just amazing. Still, for ultra-violent movies, I still prefer Hard Boiled as it has a much better plot.

Movie does not exist for the plot which i didn't think was that bad but it has some of the best realistic looking action in any movie i have seen in a while

Predictable but very enjoyable if you like martial arts.

The Indonesian film, “The Raid: Redemption,” is one of the most violent films that I have ever seen. It is like a combination of “13 Assassins,” “Assault on Precinct 13,” or a Jackie Chan movie on super steroids. I am not sure what the point was, but the nearly continuous action shots for 100 minutes was enough to last me for the next ten years. But it did have the element of the interesting bad guy, the bad good guy, the good guy’s bad brother and last but not least, the good guy, himself. Definitely not for any sane person under age of fourteen.

Indonesian martial arts film. Done for the fight scenes. A thin plot line reminiscent of New Jack City, but not as good.

Excels as a pure adrenaline charged action flick. Graphic non-stop violence with about 5 minutes of "before the violence" and 5 minutes of "after the violence" bookends. The story doesn't matter. The dialogue doesn't matter. This foreign film delivers fantastic action in massive doses. Huge body count.
