The Raid
Deep in the heart of Jakarta’s slums lies an impenetrable safe house for
the world’s most dangerous killers and gangsters. Until now, 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 swat team is
tasked with raiding the safe house 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
and all the exits blocked.
Stranded on the 6th floor with no way out, the unit must fight their way
through the city’s worst to survive their mission. Director Gareth Evans
(MERANTAU) and rising martial-arts star Iko Uwais reunite in this
adrenaline-fuelled action film.
