Wow. I was not prepared for how over hyped this would turn out to be. I was so bored during the fights which were basically a bunch of guys throwing their arms around trying to look impressive. I started skipping ahead during them. By the end where the bros fought the long haired short guy I was rolling my eyes.
Crap movie. Oh an the soundtrack is a joke.
OP maybe you should stick to x factor, high school musical and every crappy American action movie made in the past 13 years that features dizzying super-fast camera work, quick editing and a plot that could put you to sleep in 5 seconds. Yes...I think that would be better suited to you.
Oh and the soundtrack is awesome. You just stick with justin bieber..there's a good girl....

Jacka I understand where you're coming from but not every American action movie is bad. On occasion a good one comes out. Half of the time they are independent films but whatever.
shareTo op - I guess you must have fast forwarded through the knife fights, and moves with the baton, machete, and glass. This film had everything an action fan could ask for.
shareThat is such a typical stupid reply. What makes you think because someone doesn't like "The Raid" that the person automatically likes what YOU don't like? That's a reply from 12-year old kids.
sharethis movie was so bad, the fact you are defending it says more about you and your bad taste than about OP
HELLO
Yeah, I like the atmosphere and the premise of the movie, but like you I was bored by the non-stop action. I was reminded of Mr. & Mrs. Smith, I guess acne covered teenagers are impressed by non-stop fighting, but as you mature there is a critical mass regarding the amount of shooting and superhuman fight scenes you can stand. Took me two days to finish the movie because I kept having to pause it and do other stuff I'd get so bored.
Don't get me wrong, I thought it was a good movie with great fight choreography and fun violence, I just prefer a more lazy pace. I wish the movie would have indulged in its own atmosphere more rather than rushing ever onward to the next fight set piece.
I watched it at 1.5x speed. Even then it got boring.
