Re: The Raid
Agreed. I was distinctly underwhelmed by The Raid which is really just an endless martial arts showcase full of unappealing characters, and not much else. I was seriously losing interest after the initial hall shootout with the S.W.A.T. team, and it turned into scene after scene of one man fighting twenty to thirty guys at a time. Then two guys fighting one really tough guy. For all the fan boy word of mouth it received I can't believe how average and derivative The Raid actually is. The fights are well staged if that's your thing, but that's it.
Yes I'm biased but I'd take Dredd with all it's flaws over The Raid any day. Edgy, funny, effortlessly cooler and definitely no more cliched or lacking in tension in my opinion.
Overrated, and repetitive on the verge of boredom in some bits. But saying that, still an interesting action film to watch.

I'm not really expecting to like it. But Dafoe is one of my favorite actors and I like sick movies. Will report back.

Interesting and dark. I'm not sure if I liked it and don't know who I could recommend it to.
