Indonesian action flick "The Raid" (2012) getting rave reviews
Oh mama mia, this thing looks udderly incredible! Can't wait for it to hit theaters next year.
Sly should get Gareth Evans to direct the next Expendables movie. "The Raid" busts our brains with a sick red-band trailer Last night my Twitter feed lit up like a Christmas tree with buzz from the Toronto Film Festival. An Indonesian action film called "The Raid" had kicked off the festival's Midnight Madness cult movie sidebar, and apparently it was amazing. MSN Movies' James Rocchi even went so far as to call it "the best Aristotelian-unity action film since "Die Hard." Holy crap. That's insane. The enthusiasm didn't diminish with the full reviews that hit the web this morning, either. Drew McWeeny over at HitFix called it "a near perfect action movie" and The Hollywood Reporter breathlessly described a screening that had "people cheering, wincing and shaking their heads in disbelief. <div style="background-color:#000000;width:520px;"><div style="padding:4px;"><embed src="http://media.mtvnservices.com/mgid:uma:video:mtv.com:689593/cp~vid%3D689593%26uri%3Dmgid%3Auma%3Avideo%3Amtv.com%3A689593" width="512" height="288" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowFullScreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" base="." flashVars=""></embed><p style="text-align:left;background-color:#FFFFFF;padding:4px;margin-top:4px;margin-bottom:0px;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:12px;">Get More: <a href="http://www.mtv.com/movies/trailer_park/" style="color:#439CD8;" target="_blank">Movie Trailers</a>, <a href="http://moviesblog.mtv.com/" style="color:#439CD8;" target="_blank">Movies Blog</a></p></div></div> http://www.cinemablend.com/images/ne...1315596626.jpg |

Damn...that looks fucking awesome.
love little blurb on the poster. Reminds me of some '70s flicks. |
Re: Indonesian action flick "The Raid" (2012) getting rave reviews
Looks insanely awesome. Can't wait!

Re: Indonesian action flick "The Raid" (2012) getting rave reviews
that does look pretty damn sweet.

Re: Indonesian action flick "The Raid" (2012) getting rave reviews
Yummy, yummy violence.

Re: Indonesian action flick "The Raid" (2012) getting rave reviews
I believe this is the next film by the star and director pair who did "Merantau", a neat little martial arts flick. Check that out if you haven't.

Re: Indonesian action flick "The Raid" (2012) getting rave reviews
Wow. They killed about 100 people in under 2 minutes. Must see!
|
Re: Indonesian action flick "The Raid" (2012) getting rave reviews
I wonder who will be in the remake, probably Will Smith
|
Re: Indonesian action flick "The Raid" (2012) getting rave reviews
That trailer is nuts!
Off to find "Merantau"... |
Re: Indonesian action flick "The Raid" (2012) getting rave reviews
Looks like a good little start...can't wait to see The Raid. Cuz that shit looks crazy as fuck.

Re: Indonesian action flick "The Raid" (2012) getting rave reviews
I thought Merantau was kind of weak. It starts off good but all it was trying to do was be like Ong Bak. I'm looking forward to the Raid but will seek out the original version because it looks like the one that's coming out here is going to be slightly different. I hate it when they do that. just leave it as it is.
Sony Pictures acquired the film during the Cannes Film Festival after only seeing a few bits of footage. Deadline just reported that Linkin Park’s Mike Shinoda has been hired to create a new musical score for a film... http://www.slashfilm.com/the-raid-mo...ler-tiff-2011/ |
Re: Indonesian action flick "The Raid" (2012) getting rave reviews
yeah..I read that part about LP doing some music. JUST from the trailer for Merantau...I did get an Ong Back feel. Oddly enough though..that guy has to be a much better actor than Tony Jaa. I can't even stand Jaa's voice...it's grating. Great action skills Jaa has though...just no on screen presence.

Re: Indonesian action flick "The Raid" (2012) getting rave reviews
I couldn't be bothered to read the OP or watch the trailer but the excitement over a movie about bug spray baffles me. I'll pass...

Re: Indonesian action flick "The Raid" (2012) getting rave reviews
Hopefully Sony doesn't "edit it for international audiences". I hate that shit.

Re: Indonesian action flick "The Raid" (2012) getting rave reviews
we still need to get Kung Fu Hustle's uncut version on BD. We got it on DVD...w/ a shitty cover and was missing some features as well..though I think it had it's own as well. Can't remember the features...just that they were different.

If it's Screen Gems, Sony Pictures Classics, or Stage 6; we'll be fine. If it's Columbia or TriStar, uh, we'll see. |

What kind of crap is that? I don't reveal my age to anyone! And when I typed in 1898, it wouldn't accept it! :D (So I came up with a more recent fake birthdate and watched the damn thing.) There better be some comedy in this. Too much action and I get exhausted. (Maybe the U.S. distributor can add some scenes with Tom Arnold and Anthony Anderson?) |
Re: Indonesian action flick "The Raid" (2012) getting rave reviews
Soo...this director...Gareth Evans? He's not Indonesian, I"m assuming? He's Australian perhaps..I think..read that somewhere
EDIT: Nope, the fucker's british. here's an interview about Merantau and how he ended up in Indonesia... Spoiler:

Re: Indonesian action flick "The Raid" (2012) getting rave reviews
I guess I'm in the minority thinking it doesn't look good. It does nothing for me.

Re: Indonesian action flick "The Raid" (2012) getting rave reviews
Although I'm not interested in this movie (and am not anti-remakes), why waste money remaking it instead of just releasing it as-is in theaters?
