“An exhilarating rush… a clean, hard, constant hit of adrenalin… if it’s not the best action movie of the year, we’ll eat a fridge.” (Five Stars) Empire



The Raid
24 Sep 2012

The breakout, smash-hit action film of the year that blew the minds of critics and audiences alike during its theatrical release comes to DVD and Blu-ray featuring a host of extra features, including a director’s commentary exclusive to this UK release.

Welsh-born writer-director Gareth Evans and Indonesian martial arts sensation Iko Uwais.



Synopsis:

Deep in the heart of one of Jakarta’s most deprived slums stands an impenetrable high-rise apartment block. To most it is 30 floors of Hell to be avoided at all cost but for many of the city’s most dangerous killers and gangsters, including the area’s most notorious crime lord, it is a fortress-like safe house protecting them from the law. Even for the bravest and most experienced police officers it is considered a no-go area.

In a desperate bid to flush these violent criminals and their leader from their haven once and for all, an elite SWAT team is tasked with infiltrating the building and raiding the apartments floor by floor, taking out anyone who stands in their way. Cloaked under the cover of pre-dawn darkness, the SWAT members make their move and enter the block not realising that this is the easier part of the mission. Once inside, it soon becomes terrifyingly apparent that the real problem at hand is surviving long enough to be able to get out again.






It’s an intense, virtually non-stop series of unbelievable fight sequences set to an electrifying kick-ass score by Linkin Park vocalist, keyboardist and rhythm guitarist Mike Shinoda and reaffirms Gareth Evans’ reputation as a director to watch and further confirms Iko Uwais’ status as both an outstanding fight choreographer and as one of world’s most impressive new action movie stars. The film was also the winner of the Midnight Madness People’s Choice Award at the prestigious Toronto International Film Festival in 2011 and the winner of both the coveted Audience Award for Best Film and the Dublin Film Critics Award for Best Film at the Dublin International Film Festival in February this year, marking the first time in history both awards have gone to the same film.




“This violent, intense and brilliant bullet-fest from Indonesia puts western action movies to shame… a skull-splinteringly violent, uncompromisingly intense and simply brilliant martial arts action movie… completely deranged and completely superb. (Five Stars) – The Guardian.

“A bone-breaking, gut-punching, action movie triumph. The combination of a great premise, brilliantly-inventive direction, incredible fight sequences and spirited performances makes it easy for us to already proclaim that ‘The Raid’ is the action movie of the year. (Four And A Half Stars) – IGN.com.

“Balls-to-the-wall action… quite simply, some of the best, most brutal action sequences ever caught on camera.” (Four Stars) – Total Film.

Gareth Huw Evans (Writer, Director, Action Director)

Welsh born writer/director Gareth Huw Evans began his filmmaking career in 2006 with his feature film debut “Footsteps”, released in the US through extreme cinema label Unearthed Films in 2007.
Following up on “Footsteps”, he was hired to direct a documentary for Christine Hakim Films in

Indonesia entitled “Land of Moving Shadows: The Mystic Arts of Indonesia, Pencak Silat”. The documentary was planned as one part of a five-episode series covering the cultural heritage of Indonesia. With his particular episode revolving around Silat, the production would introduce to him the many traditions and cultural themes that made up his second feature, “Merantau”, as well as its lead actor Iko Uwais.

Based in Jakarta, Indonesia since 2008, Gareth wrote, edited and directed “Merantau” with the idea of bringing the Indonesian martial art of Silat to international attention. With a successful string of film festival screenings, “Merantau” went on to be selected as the closing film of PIFAN (Puchon International Festival of Fantastic Films) 2009, was the winner of an Audience Choice Award at Fantastic Fest (Austin, Texas) and was awarded Best Film at 2010’s inaugural ActionFest in North Carolina.
