Are there untouchable facts in The raid?
By Jenny Alvarez
Deep in the heart of Jakarta‘s slums lies an impenetrable derelict apartment building which became a safe house for the world’s most dangerous killers and gangsters. The rundown apartment block has been considered untouchable to even the bravest of police. Cloaked under the cover of pre-dawn darkness and silence, an elite team is tasked with raiding the derelict apartment in order to take down the notorious drug lord that runs it. But when a chance encounter with a spotter blows their cover and news of their assault reaches the drug lord, the building’s lights are cut off and all exits are blocked.
The raid is full of action and violence where most of the scenes of fighting were well realized. Each movement shows realism and good technique in all Art Martials. Despite of all the blood and violence scenes with anger and fear in most of them, is a movie that you can enjoy elements as loyalty, betrayal, bravery and courage. Although, the unit must fight their way through the city’s worst criminals to survive their mission, their worst enemy is the power that makes corruption. It is an interesting movie with dialogues full of drama, fear, and violence because as a viewer you won’t be able figure out who is going to survive on the 6th floor with no way out.
