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 rundown apartment block has been considered untouchable. 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, they find themselves stranded on the 6th floor with no way out. The unit must fight their way through the city's worst to survive their mission.

Reviews

Keith & the Movies

Keith Garlington

The action is furious and non-stop, and Evans makes no bones about the type of movie he’s making. It’s heart-pounding and occasionally thrilling, but don’t expect much in terms of plot or character development.

Episode 33: Triple Threat / The Raid / Dragged Across Concrete

Gareth Evans' previous feature, Merantau, was an impressive harbinger of what was to come, but it was The Raid that really put him on the map.

I really, really liked it like not just in terms of [Iko Uwais] being an amazing martial artist which he is but also just as an actor in his own right.

I liked [the Boss'] performance a lot... there's a lot of depth in the story and the characters.
