[Movie] The Raid (Indonesian)

I saw a trailer for this movie which is at cinemas in UK now & I want to watch it sad thing is I dont know how I am going to convince my friends to watch a martial arts action film in Indonesian :)






The Raid: Redemption or Serbuan Maut is a 2011 Indonesian action film written and directed by Gareth Evans and starring Iko Uwais which was released worldwide in March 2012. This is the second collaboration of Evans and Uwais after their first action film, Merantau released in 2009. Both films showcase the traditional Indonesian martial art Pencak Silat. The fight choreographers of The Raid are Iko Uwais and Yayan Ruhian who also worked on Merantau. The U.S. release of the film features music by Mike Shinoda of American rock band Linkin Park and Joseph Trapanese. After its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF), The Raid received positive reviews from critics.
