Essentially, the Raid is one long action sequence. Thankfully, that's where the film excels - as it's chock full of adrenaline-fueled, brutal, poetic fight sequences and action set pieces. When the film slows down, you can see how thin the plot (and characters) really are, but the film doesn't slow down often and, as pure martial arts entertainment, it's at the top of its game.
