Welcome to The Raid: Redemption. Very gritty, ultraviolent, it will make you tired just watching it. Admittedly there's not much to the story there's very little back story, almost no resolution, just a lot of martial arts and gun play. That being said, for what it is, it's very good. Action packed doesn't really seem to describe it well enough. Sure there are plot holes but is that really why you're watching it? For the story?
All of the actors in it do a bang up job of bringing these violent scenes to life. Rama, Iko Uwais, and Jaka, Joe Taslim, play characters on opposite sides of the law that find themselves united against a tower full of bad guys. The baddest being Mad Dog played by Yayan Ruhian. The story is pretty standard a bunch of cops versus a bunch of baddies with no way out but like I said if you're watching it for the story, this is the wrong movie.
