Blu-ray Review: ‘The Raid: Redemption’ Will Rock Action Fans For Years
CHICAGO – I love “The Raid: Redemption.” It is high octane, high speed, high power, high satisfaction action. And it’s the kind of film that I can guarantee you will be passed along with hushed reverence for years. With an ingenuity of action choreography and unmatched execution, this is one of those adrenalized flicks that works across generations, demographics, and countries of origin.
Rating: 4.0/5.0 |
Knowing that they have an action hit on their hands, Sony gives “The Raid: Redemption” a solid home treatment.

Deep in the heart of Jakarta’s slums lies an impenetrable safe house for the world’s most dangerous killers and gangsters. Until now, the rundown apartment block has been considered untouchable. Cloaked under the cover of pre-dawn darkness and silence, an elite swat team is tasked with raiding the safe house in order to take down the notorious drug lord that runs it. But when a chance encounter with a spotter blows their cover and news of their assault reaches the drug lord, they find themselves stranded on the 6th floor with no way out. The unit must fight their way through the city’s worst to survive their mission.
