Description
Deep in the heart of Jakarta's slums lies an impenetrable safe house for the world's most dangerous killers and gangsters. Until now, the run-down apartment block has been considered untouchable to even the bravest of police. Cloaked under the cover of pre-dawn darkness and silence, an elite swat team is tasked with raiding the safe house in order to take down the notorious drug lord that runs it. But when a chance encounter with a spotter blows their cover and news of their assault reaches the drug lord, the building's lights are cut and all the exits blocked. Stranded on the sixth floor with no way out, the unit must fight their way through the city's worst to survive their mission. Starring Indonesian martial arts sensation Iko Uwais.

Key opinion
The Raid is widely celebrated as a masterclass in modern action cinema, praised for its relentless pacing and groundbreaking, high-intensity choreography. While viewers generally agree that the narrative is minimal and predictable, most accept this simplicity as an effective vessel for the film's visceral, stunt-driven spectacle.
| Originality | The fight choreography is exceptionally precise, blending athletic Silat mastery with creative use of the environment to create a visceral, high-stakes viewing experience. | |
| Pacing | The pacing maintains a relentless, high-adrenaline momentum that keeps viewers fully engaged from the opening sequence to the finale. | |
| Screenplay | The screenplay is widely considered thin, predictable, or non-existent, serving only as a skeletal framework to facilitate the nonstop combat. | |
| Theme | The film's tactical realism is debated; some viewers appreciate the raw, gritty intensity, while others find the police behavior and combat logic to be illogical or formulaic. | |
| Acting | The performances are viewed as secondary to the physical stunts, with some critics dismissing the acting as poor, while others find the portrayal of the characters adequate for an action-first feature. |
