Kung-fu mayhem

by Jimmy George Jones

If you're blood-thirsty for kung-fu action this movie will not disappoint. Plot is strong enough for this type of film to keep your interest. I'm not a big fan of the genre but from what I've seen in...

Excellent martial arts action movie! Gritty and raw violence. The actors didn't miss a beat. Highly recommend to anyone who can handle it!...

There's a sliver of a plot to The Raid, but it's really not worth going over -- when the characters pause to talk, which is rare, it does tend to kill the film's momentum. Read full review
