Tonight on Netflix: released 13 years ago, this action film is one of the most impressive of all time

Jakarta. A breathtaking citadel. The most dangerous drug traffickers in the country hidden at the top. An entire army of overtrained men to protect it. And a team of police officers, whose mission is to climb the floors of the tower one after the other, trying to survive the many obstacles that will stand on their way.

“90 minutes of pure action”

Difficult to make it simpler and more fun than the concept of The Raid, whose floors follow one another such as the levels of a video game, and whose enthusiastic promise is widely held.

“90 minutes of pure action”could we read on the poster of this raw gold nugget, released from nowhere in 2012. And the least we can say is that this tagline is not false.

If you choose to launch The Raid with informed friends (extremely brutal and violent, the film was prohibited for under 16s when it was released in French theaters), you will have exactly what you sold to you. Namely a concentrate of Bastons, martial arts fights and ruthless clashes, without the slightest time.

An even more spectacular suite

Signed by the Welsh filmmaker Gareth Evans but produced and produced in Indonesia (including national martial art, Silat, is with dignity in the film), The Raid had created the surprise and the event in various festivals.

With a spectator note of 3.8 stars out of 5, he had the honors of an even more spectacular and breathtaking suite two years later: even if he did not exactly take up the concept and the unit of place of his predecessor, The Raid 2 is still considered today as one of the most impressive action films ever made.

If you are therefore looking to spend 1 hour and 40 minutes on adrenaline and vibrate on your sofa, you now know which movie you shoot.
