The Raid
2011 · Director: Gareth Evans · ID
What it is about
A police team is trapped in a tower block run by a drug lord and has to fight its way up floor by floor.
The fighting in it
Iko Uwais and Yayan Ruhian are genuine silat practitioners who choreographed the film themselves. The style is Pencak Silat Harimau — low stances and crouched fighting that make sense in narrow corridors.
