    THE RAID REDEMPTION MOVIE REACTION | 0:00 - 23:45
    THE RAID REDEMPTION MOVIE REVIEW | 23:46 - 25:13
    The Raid Redemption Movie Description:
    A rookie member of an elite team of commandos, Rama (Iko Uwais) is instructed to hang back while his comrades-in-arms go ahead with their mission to take down a brutal crime lord called Tama (Ray Sahetapy). However, the team's cover is blown, and Tama offers sanctuary to every criminal in his high-rise apartment block in exchange for the cops' heads. Now Rama must take command and lead his remaining team on an ultraviolent charge through the building to complete -- and survive -- the mission.
    The Raid (initially intended to be released as Serbuan Maut, lit. The Deadly Raid) is a 2011 Indonesian action film written, directed and edited by the Welsh filmmaker Gareth Evans. The film stars Iko Uwais, who previously worked with Evans in another action film, Merantau, released in 2009. In the film, an elite squad is tasked to infiltrate a high-rise building run by a ruthless drug lord in the slums of Jakarta; among them is Rama (played by Uwais), a rookie member of the team.
    After its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF), The Raid received positive reviews from critics. The name of the film was changed to The Raid: Redemption in the United States as distributor Sony Pictures Classics could not secure the rights to the title; it also allowed Evans to plan out future titles in the series. The US release of the film features a film score composed by Mike Shinoda and Joseph Trapanese. It was released in the United States on DVD and Blu-ray Disc on 14 August 2012.
    A sequel, The Raid 2, was released in 2014. Both films showcase the traditional Indonesian martial art of Pencak Silat, with fight choreography led by Uwais and Yayan Ruhian. A third film was considered but Evans decided not to go forward with the project.

      i think the sequel is much better. This is great stuff, but it feels more like a showcase of skills of all the people involved if that makes sense. You know, the director, the actors, stunts etc. The sequel feels more like an actual movie. Headshot on the other hand is pretty bad imo. The choreography there is so over the top its almost comedic, kinda felt like Itchy and Scratchy episode, hahaha. Not a good thing considering how seriously it takes itself.

  • @TimDownsAnimation
    @TimDownsAnimation Před 2 lety +44

    I'm STILL blown away every time I watch this movie. The DP is practically fighting right along with the actors because everything in the fights is kept in-frame while the camera is being operated by hand almost constantly. Very rarely a rig or track set up. I got my hand over my mouth every time the camera TILTS MID-FIGHT AND GOES BACK UPRIGHT ALL IN ONE SHOT. constant movement without losing track of the characters.
    And on top of that, this movie does something not nearly enough action movies do: it makes the fighting look both badass AND PAAAAINFULL. The fighters can still be impressive and badass as hell while also making you recoil in pain seeing them get hit. Every hit looks like agony, but the fact they keep going so hard is what makes it so captivating. God I love it.

      The debut project for Raid director, actors, and team.
      That film set the bar for them. The fighting is "softer" and less brutal than Raids but very grounded and beautifully choreographed.
      Since watching Merantau, all the flashy moves and wire-fu fighting often seen in martial art film doesn't interest me anymore.

    Let me give you a little bit fun facts about both actors, okay ^^
    1. Iko Uwais (Born February 12, 1983), Iko is a martial artist of Pencak Silat (Read : Phen-Chack-See-Lat) and Iko Uwais' grandfather was a silat master who owned a Pencak Silat Martial Art School. Before signing with Gareth Evan's movie project, Iko Uwais was working as a daily operational driver at ESIA, an Indonesian telecom company. He was 28 years old when he play in Rhe Raid redemption (2011)
    2. Yayan Ruhian (Born October 19, 1968), Yayan is a professional martial arts instructor and a trainer of an inner breathing technique designed to condition of the body to withstand any impact. Yayan's father is Karate practitioner. Yayan Ruhian instead choose Pencak Silat. Yayan Ruhian started his Pencak Silat Martial Art training since 13 years old. By the mid-2000s Yayan had taught pencak silat in countries such as Belgium, France, and the Netherlands, and also learned several further martial arts techniques, such as Aikido. Btw, Yayan was 43 years old when he play in The Raid Redemption (2011).

      Yayan Ruhian also the only actor who didn't wear any pad because he enjoys getting punch and slammed.
      He's a master of Pencak Silat style specializing in breathing techniques to strengthen muscles. Getting punch (full force) is part of his training. 😁💪🔥

      Both Dredds are great. Stallone's played to the camp of the 200A.D. future, Karl Urban's worked with the brutality of the setting. Both are legitimate takes on the source material. Urban's is a much better film though.

    The director is a fan of old school Hong Kong action movies. Hence, for more epic fights watch Jackie Chan's "Drunken Master II" (aka "The Legend of Drunken Master") & Jet Li's "Fist of Legend", both came out in 1994. For epic shootouts, check out John Woo's "The Killer" & "Hard Boiled", both starring Chow Yun-fat.

    The best action in films are the ones that tie into the story and characters; where the characters are reflected in their respective styles. I.E., Daredevil in Netflix took a gritty approach with Matt primarily using more boxing from his Dad(with some graceful acrobatics because of his training from Stick) because of his dad and that repetitive 3-time punch in the face is what I find as his signature: letting the devil out like his character. Fisk in both seasons 1 and 3 fought using grabs, headbutts, and slams because his character likes to take control of a situation. Bullseye fights ranged because of how he handles his problems from a distance. Rama's fight , especially towards the end, reflected a story and the characters. Don't remember the antagonist's name, but the psycho who loved fighting with his hands was brutal and methodical, relishing every blow and taking his time instead of quickly defeating them. He wanted their deaths to be brutal and is so crazy, he ignores his own pain. The fight scene told that story which is what makes it so remarkable

    Shakey cam is a Hollywood thing used to hide the fact their actors aren't martial artists, you won't see it in Thai, Korean, Hong Kong or Japanese action movies. Quick cuts aren't used very often either. Asian actors like Iko Uwais, Donnie Yen, Tony Jaa (and a few American ones like Scott Adkins and Michael Jai White) are martial artists who can act and do their own stunts, cheap effects like shakey cam and quick cuts aren't necessary and the actors themselves despise them.

      @@jalankvng Yeah, maybe I shouldn't have included Korea. Korean action stars are a lot like Hollywood and the film-making is very Hollywood. The actors look good on camera but aren't legit martial artists and only get hand-to-hand training in the military. If they have martial arts training it's usually Tae Kwon Do which doesn't translate well in action scenes.
      Check out the Korean re-makes of Tarantino's Old Boy (same title in Korea) and the Liam Neeson movie Taken titled The Man From Nowhere, these standout movies, particularly the axe fight in The Man From Nowhere are why I included Korea. IMHO the Korean versions are better than the originals.
