#WATCH THE RAID REDEMPTION ENGLISH SUBTITLES MOVIE#
The Raid: Redemption isn’t a movie for the faint of heart, but action movie junkies will get more than a sufficient fix from its relentless action, remarkable fight choreography, and intense premise. I watched with the latter and it was fine that way, but I also checked out the original music as well, which was also solid. You won’t even notice you’re reading after a few minutes.Īnother option you have is the movie’s original Indonesian score or a score put together by Linkin Park’s Mike Shinoda and Joe Trapanese, who worked on the Tron: Legacy score with Daft Punk. But when you take away the actor’s voice and replace it with someone sitting in a room somewhere, it can severely damage a movie. As I said above, the performances aren’t spectacular. The Blu-ray automatically set me up for the English dubbed version of the movie, but if you have any respect for movies whatsoever, you’ll watch it in its original Indonesian language with English subtitles. Everyone does a solid enough job to progress the story and get us to the next action scene, and that’s all I was looking for. The acting in The Raid can be a tad over-dramatic at times, but no one is expecting award-caliber performances from a movie like this. But there’s also muay thai, judo, taekwondo, karate, straight up brawling, and more used. You can certainly see the heavy influence of Southeast Asian fighting styles, primarily silat, with a great deal of kicks and knees involved. I’m not sure I’ve ever seen such extensively choreographed fight sequences in any other movie-to the point where some folks might even be overwhelmed by the amount of hand-to-hand combat involved-and a mixture of various martial arts styles were used.

If you’re into old kung fu-style movies you’ll especially be pleased. When someone is taken out, it’s ultra-realistic writer and director Gareth Evans clearly wanted to make sure that your jaw would hit the floor on multiple occasions, and succeeded magnificently in this objective. It has crazy gun fights, knife fights, and fist fights, all of which are stunningly brutal. The Raid: Redemption is a movie built for multiple types of action movie fan. Now the cops are no longer fighting to complete their mission, but to escape the building alive. The raid is supposed to go smoothly, but others have tried before and failed, and when word gets out that the squad is there, pure anarchy ensues. The movie consists of a simple premise: a team of elite cops sets off to an old run down 30-story apartment building to take out a deadly drug lord who runs the building with his men, while also allowing others to rent out rooms, usually to the city’s most dangerous criminals. Every once in a while one comes along that reminds us of that old school high-paced action we love so very much, and one such movie is The Raid: Redemption. They just don’t make action movies like they used to…or so it sometimes seems. The police would be satisfied on this day to arrest only Tama (Ray Sahetapy), a drug lord believed to control every floor through high-tech monitors and sound equipment installed in his penthouse.STARRING: Iko Uwais, Yayan Ruhian, Joe Taslim, Doni Alamsyah, Ray Sahetapy, Pierre Gruno, Ananda George, Verdi Solaiman, Iang Darmawan, Eka ‘Piranha’ Rahmadia, Tegar Satrya


Hundreds of criminals and gang members are mixed among the very few innocents some use guns, others have always preferred machetes and knives - and martial artists are everywhere. Officers never have arrested anyone living there. The story appears simple, and it is a snap to follow even in varied Indonesian languages and English subtitles.Ī 20-man SWAT team pulls up at dawn to a decaying, high-rise apartment building. Some may exit the theater feeling physically punished or fatigued. Keeping up is incredibly difficult because we, as viewers, do not sit down expecting to be so visually challenged while simultaneously entertained. More than once while watching men battling one another in "The Raid," it is possible to watch a single character and rapidly count aloud as the fight is viewed from different camera angles or set-ups.
