KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

Mischa Redfern I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Payno I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

nicolenurdi Finally watched this movie after so many people (on the internet) recommending it, and well, it's one of the very few Indonesian movies which is known abroad, so it has been piquing my interest for quite sometime.And, it did not disappoint. Despite the story being very straightforward, with almost no depth to it, the rest was spot on. Never-ending action throughout, accompanied by subtle, but nicely timed background music; and that ending... totally lived up all the hype.

adamberrien To be honest I was surprised by the quality of this movie, but it happens to be one of the best martial arts films within the past decade. The story wasn't gonna blow your socks off but it was interesting and entertaining. Most of the characters feel real and the movie succeeds in getting you involved in the plot. But the real highlight of this movie is the action and fight scenes. Just stunning really. The choreography and cinematography was on point. They really put their hearts and souls in this movie and it shows.

The Movie Diorama I know this was released first but I couldn't get it out of my head! We follow a SWAT team who raid an apartment block in order to capture Pa-Pa, but the Pa-Pa clan aren't going to make it easy...(ok fine, no more Dredd references). One minute in and our main character is punching, elbowing and kicking a sand bag at 100mph. Bam! I was ready to sit back and watch a heck load of hand combat unfold. 40 minutes later, still no hand combat scenes...I was growing agitated. Thankfully though, the film turned around and our main character was battling his way through using only his body and knives. I'm talking full annihilation. Complete decimation. The residents did not stand a chance! Wham! Bam! Kapow! Swish! Slice! Followed by continuous noises as our characters fights to death. "Ah! Ehh! Phwoarrr! Hai! Ohhh!"...you get the gist. The action is pretty relentless, well executed and rapid. The choreography is insane. INSANE! There is one scene where two good guys are against one bad guy (apologies for the bland description) that goes on for six minutes. I have never seen so much flipping, kicks to the head, jump punches and head smashes to the floor...in my life. The bad guy in that scene is like the Indonesian Terminator, he just wouldn't die. The directing was good overall, not many quick cuts although the camera was particularly shaky during the first half. My problems with the film are with the plot conveniences and predictability. I don't really want to dive into it for spoiler reasons but if our main character is in a tricky situation, something would always happen to get him out. Any "twists" that were executed, were predictable and poorly constructed. Also some fight scenes in rooms have all the furniture right next to the walls, therefore leaving a massive open space for the fight. I would like to have seen them use the furniture to their advantage. Plus, I literally just watched it and don't know the main character's name. At all. Greatest action movie ever? No, but it's good!

mmmmbanemmmm A great atmospheric action martial arts movie the raid redemption and the raid 2 are the best action martial arts crime thrillers ever made real authentic hardcore movies like mad max and matrix and ip man really fun to watch over and over
