Poster of The Raid.....how a scary!!!!!

I watched this movie in previous several months with my lady. Although this review is late, but I think this is still interesting to be talked about. This review consists of three point of views e.g. story, action and cinematography. Let begin it...

STORY

In sort, this films told about the attack of the police special team (they didn't named this team by specific identity) to the apartement whose the gangster, Tama. This appartment is very mysterious because several mission to attack it is always  failed. This  because of the cooperation within the gangster with the police head.

This recent mission is different with the previous mission because this is held just  for the leader ambission, Wahyu. The police team was trapped in the 6^th floor by the gangster. In this condition, the polices have to chose whether kill or killed by the resident of the apartment. This condition make the blood is crashed in everywhere of this floor...(what a bloody fighting!!!).

The Mad Dog who is the gangster member has killed the commander of police team. An the final fighting, he fighted Rama (main actor) and Jaka (brother of Rama). By great fighting, finally Mad Dog was dead.

The final of this story is that the leader of gangster is killed by the Wahyu who killed himself. The the last one of police who is still life is just Rama, the main Actor (as what I predicted before...)

This story is not interesting at all. Then, the dialog among the actor is very little. In onther words, majority of this films is consisted of bloody fighting. Some of other people review, they said that this ending film is not clear at all too. However,  I realize that this film actualli is made for the action film hobbyst instead to promote the “PENCAK SILAT”, popular Indonesian marial arts, to over world.

ACTION

There is no doubt that this film is the greates action films. Based on my perspective, the fighting in this film is not only about kick and hit the people but also about the art to perform the fighting. This make the film is different with the common Box Office film.

Bloody fighting is designed to be beautiful to be watched. I think that word is perfect match with this action style film.

CINEMATOGRAPHY

Although I am not the cinematographer, but as spectator of this film, I think I can feel, hear and evaluate about this cinematopgraphy. Based on technical view, I think this film is good. Then, this film has many good angle of view especially in fighting moment. The sound effect of this films is also good because the sound of fignting in this film is likely natural effect. The fighting style of this films is very great too.

Based on my review, between 0 to 10 stars, I will give this film with 9 stars. Please don't bring your kids to watch this film. This film is very hard for their psychology!!!! (WARNING!!!!)
