Southeast Asian Action Movie Hope

Personally, I prefer the Hong Kong version of the translated name "Assault on the Tower of Death" because Bruce Lee has half of the movie "Tower of Death", the general action style and story location are similar, which is a bit of tribute to Bruce Lee. The story takes place in a confined space, and there is a feeling of being trapped and fighting against the backwater, which makes people nervous. In terms of movements, MMA, joint locking, combination of knife and stick, knee-elbow collision are amazing. There are breakthroughs in camera shooting and editing, and the use of special effects is not much but in place. The characters in the film are all red-eyed, with a feeling of real fighting, which is bloodier than previous action films, and can ignite your original wildness. Did you say that this film is just the leftovers from the old Hong Kong film, old wine in new bottles? In group fight scenes, it is inevitable for Wu Xing to walk back and forth, which is a pity of action movies. The villain is short and sturdy (the type that is not resistant to fighting should be the type that is poisonous and kills in one move) but can't be killed in various ways. There is a loophole in this design.

    I'm used to watching violent action movies with muscular men's sensual power, so the characteristics of action movies in the island country of Southeast Asia, Indonesia, are two words, barbaric.

    The gangsters are too poor, they are too poor, the bosses in the slums are too poor, it is actually an Indonesian film, and the cost of this film surprised me. The fighting in it is also amazing. The pleasure of progress is but the plot is not good

The Raid: Redemption quotes

  • Jaka: [talking to his S.W.A.T. team] Okay, listen up. Our target is Tama Riyadi. I'm sure most of you know who I'm talking about. This man has become something of a legend in the underworld. Pushers, gangs, killers, they all respect him like a god. For the past 10 years his building has been a no-go zone for police. I don't care how big he is or who is behind him, he must be stopped. That enterprising fuck's been renting out rooms like it's an apartment, to any low-life piece of shit looking to keep his head down. Our mission is simple: we go in, and we take him out!

  • Rama: They'll come here. They'll tear this place to the ground.

    Andi: We'll be long gone before they get here.

    Rama: Then why do you stay?

    Andi: For the same reason you stayed in that uniform - it just fits.
