Member David Rees Posted June 4, 2012 Member Share Posted June 4, 2012 Finally got to see it. Agree with most here, fantastic film, great action, very brutal. Gareth Evans is definitely a director with a great future, congratulations to him! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member AlbertV Posted June 4, 2012 Member Share Posted June 4, 2012 I finally caught it over the weekend and it is definitely one of the best action films I have seen. My favorite fight comes in at about 73 minutes when Iko and two cops take out an entire drug lab in 5 minutes....no talk, all fighting!!! I loved the twists and turns that came in and that made the film great!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member daisho2004 Posted June 4, 2012 Member Share Posted June 4, 2012 @AlbertV: So I guess all the hype lived up to your expectations of the movie then? Glad you weren't disappointed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member mark187 Posted June 6, 2012 Member Share Posted June 6, 2012 US and I believe Indonesia as well, should be the same date. UK release is likely to be in September according to Gareth's Twitter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Shaolin Patriot Posted June 6, 2012 Member Share Posted June 6, 2012 DVD drops August 14th! mark your calendars! I believe it was also mentioned that Gareth might be releasing a Merantau special edition, to coincide with The Raid. Is there any further confirmation on this?

Is there any further confirmation on this? It would be awesome if there would be a director's cut of Merentau released. I still haven't watched that cause it's incomplete.

Member Drunken Monk Posted June 22, 2012 Member Share Posted June 22, 2012 Speaking of the DVD, check out this one star Amazon review suggesting "The Raid" might be a snuff film... But ... is it a "snuff" film? To wit: - Harry Knowles (of "Ain't It Cool News" pseudo-"fame") once said in "index" magazine that there's a website which offers people the chance to kill someone for $10K, the proceeds of which (purportedly) goes to the murdered one's family; - the film's budget is listed as around $1 million, but, arguably, it could have been shot for $250,000, given that it ONLY USES ONE LOCATION FOR THE WHOLE THING; - a lot of the credited roles are by # ["A-K GUARD #1," "A-K GUARD #2," ... "A-K GUARD #10," etc., others listed as #1 - #10]; - there's a "body double" listed last, which I've never seen before ("STUNT DOUBLE"? maybe. "STAND-IN"? perhaps. But: "BODY DOUBLE" -- a term most often used for someone who does nudity in lieu of someone else -- NEVER!); - a lot of the shots (in BOTH senses of the word!) seem to capture "involuntary" -- and, therefore, un-"act"-able, or un-"fake"-able convulsions [barring the use of off-screen electrical current application, of course!]; - weirdly, the "families of the [whole production]" are thanked in the end credits; - also, one of the last credits goes ahead and asserts -- for some reason -- that the film conforms w/the "laws of Indonesia"! Am I crazy? Paranoid? Jumping at shadows, here? Well ...YOU BE THE JUDGE!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Yi-Long Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 The cover art is not to my taste Hopefully the UK version has better cover art That cover is absolutely HORRIBLE indeed. Oh well, as long as the release itself is good, I don't really mind a shockingly ugly cover. I do wonder how that got beyond any kind of quality-control though... I can spend 5 minutes in Photoshop and come up with a better cover (If I've got the HD press-material or HD screenshots, ofcourse....) Edit: UK cover doesn't look much better. Not as bad as the US cover obviously, but still... Almost like they went with a bit of a Banlieu 13 'vibe'... Edit 2: the Australian BR cover DOES look good.

Member OpiumKungFuCracker Posted June 23, 2012 Member Share Posted June 23, 2012 So does U.S/Australia/U.K version have the same features at least??? I don't want to have to buy 3 different region of the same damn movie.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member daisho2004 Posted June 26, 2012 Member Share Posted June 26, 2012 He should've stuck with the original poster! Why does it say unrated on the Standard DVD? Is the BR going to have added scenes as well or be more brutal to make it unrated? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
