THE RAID / BERANDAL

Postby MoBiUGeArSkIn on Sun Jan 01, 2012 7:44 pm

Synopsis wrote:Deep in the heart of Jakarta's slums lies an impenetrable derelict apartment building which became a safe house for the world's most dangerous killers and gangsters. The rundown 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 derelict apartment 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 off and all exits are blocked. Stranded on the 6th floor with no way out, the unit must fight their way through the city's worst criminals to survive their mission.


There's no release date for it yet, so it may well go straight to DVD but... Holy Shit. This looks incredibly badass! I should say I couldn't find anything but the Red Band trailer so the following does feature shots of a violent nature.



Damn!

Looks cool. Its also basically the plot of the new Dredd film.

Getting a US release in March by the looks of it. Some KILLER clips have hit the net, see them here. The big knife fight from IGN is freakin' sweet/brutal!

The Raid screened at Sundance, audiences going nuts for its brand of uber kinetic savagery. Another clip!



OOOOOOO! Nasty!

Not according to the reviews, which say it's non-stop escalating violence for its entire duration.

Fantastic! Not many films keep up the action for an entire film and also continue to be awesome! Well, not English ones.

The Raid now carries a pointless subtitle in the US, below is the trailer.

Was the final film shown at Fright Fest last night, to a standing ovation.

Ok, so before THE RAID, the same dudes did this:



You can grab it for £1.99 on Play.com. Be rude not to at that price.

Watched Merantau earlier and it's a great little action film. Story is surprisingly good, if a little derivative of the genre and the acting is... well... kinda hilarious at times, but it really shines when it comes to the numerous fight sequences. They're brilliantly choreographed and shot effortlessly.

The Raid is now out in the states (limited release) and we still have to wait a couple of months. Boooooooo! Awesome news though, as the sequel to this, "Berandal", has been Pre-purchased by Sony.
