1hr 41mins

The plot: Rookie cop Rama kisses his pregnant wife farewell and heads into work. He is part of an ill-prepared SWAT team charged with infiltrating a 15-storey apartment block, which doubles as the headquarters of notorious drug lord Tama and his sadistic henchmen Andi and Mad Dog. Led by Lieutenant Wahyu and Sergeant Jaka, the cops have one simple and admittedly difficult objective: fight their way to the top floor and destroy Tama's criminal network.

"Remember your first time with Hard Boiled? Die Hard? This is how it's done - a clean, hard, constant hit of adrenalin."
Total Film
Like that clip of Tony Jaa terrorising an entire building in one take ? but ramped up to 101 astonishing minutes ? The Raid is so hardcore it would make badass blush.
Guardian
"Evans' film is like nothing else around, an instant cult hit that carries the funky, illicit thrill of the fleapit and serves as an unbeatable reminder of the gloriously disreputable heyday of VHS."
