Watched this movie twice over the weekend, actually probably nearer three times with the amount of rewinding I did.

It is fantastic, especially of you like close combat martial art...

Just wanted to share.

It is fantastic *only* if you like close combat martial arts because, to be fair, that's all that's in it.

Sounds like a modern reworking of 'Game of Death', using a tower block instead of a Pagoda.

In reply to Euge: I didn't like it, but then I am a fan of plots in films. And characterisation. And acting.

There was a story, in the 10-20 minute intermission between the first and second fight scenes :P

It was indeed awesome

Saw "Elite Squad" this weekend. That does what the Raid does, but does it properly.
