[Redemption] is a relentless, bloody, brutal action movie, with successive scene after scene of balls-to-the-wall-style choreographed violence.

Hollywood is particularly unsuited to producing sensation cinema these days.

My only complaint about The Raid is that it ended.

There’s something a bit poetic and inevitable about the moralizing division, and it cuts even deeper with a brother on each side of the camera’s axis.

4/5

Immensely fresh in that it truly feels like a film that will harm you at any given moment.

Not only do the two actors make an indelible impression with their physical prowess, Evans’s direction and storytelling draws us in further so that each moment of character desperation holds audiences in a steel grip.

This movie was pretty fun and from what I’ve seen mainly made to focus on fight choreography rather than story. Since it was full of action the movie went by fast. There was too much yelling during the fight scenes so it seemed like it was dragging sometimes but it was fun to watch.

Great action, less emotion.

Everything's great except for the plot and how dumb it is because of that. If you just want to watch it for the action and fights, it's a 10 out of 10, but the plot is so incredibly annoying—it's just that bad—that it completely ruined my enjoyment of the movie.

The Raid: Redemption (2012) This movie is sensational! Frenetic action from beginning to end, brutal, bloody violence just the way action fans like it. The story itself is weak and lacks any definitive resolution.

Non-Stop action keeps you at the edge of your seat. It’s very worthy as one of the best in the martial arts genre!
