The Raid

[dreamer_easy]

Rewatching "The Raid" (my last attempt was interrupted), I was struck by the opening scenes, which show the Muslim protagonist alternatively vigorously training and quietly praying. In a Western movie or TV show, this would be introducing a terrorist. In this Indonesian movie, it's introducing a morally upright police officer.

Unfortunately, the movie starts with clever action pieces but devolves into a series of lengthy chop-socky fights...
