The Raid: Redemption in theaters

[lcarus]

Went to see this last night with a buddy. God damn, it was an awesome awesome martial arts movie. It's a subtitled Indonesian movie, but it's out in theaters nation wide

Might have to check it out. Been awhile since I've seen a decent new martial arts flick.

Yeah same here. I went into it not knowing really anything about it. I didn't even know it was a foreign movie with subtitles lol. I just saw the good reviews that claimed it was an awesome action movie and went.

The great part about the movie - it starts off with pretty immediate action. There's no bullshitting in this one.

There were 2 other people in the theater besides my friend and me. Everyone else at the theater were probably seeing the gay 3 or somethin.

I was so surprised by it. It's in my top 5 action movies ever now. Probably #1 as far as martial arts movies. The choreographed fight scenes were abundant and epic. I don't wanna spoil too much, but there's the main villain, and then there's a sub-villain, who is basically the main villain's henchman. Well, the sub-villain is one BADASS MOTHER****ER.

Anyone go and see this over the weekend?

Yeah I saw it. For what it is, they do it as well if not better than any action movie of the last 15 years. So intense I felt a little exhausted afterwards. I'd like to see some numbers of how much this actually costs compared to the Expendables.

The Raid cost $1,000,000 and The Expendables cost $82,000,000

We only ran this film for a week, but we still have the hard drive and the key is still active so last night I ran it for myself and another guy from a different theater. Two words: holy ****. Guns, machetes, and flying hands and feet. Brutal to the point of me turning to the other guy and saying, "Either this film has the best special-effects guy ever, or they're literally killing the extras and we're watching one bad-ass snuff film." That's how realistic it looked. If this film turns up in your area at a second-run theater, go see it.
