Roger Ebert Did Not Have Too Many Kind Words For The Raid Redemption During his lifetime, Roger Ebert built up a reputation as one of the most famous faces of film criticism, with audiences constantly tuning in to see him and Gene Siskel offer up their "thumbs up" or "thumbs down" consensus on the latest cinematic outings.. With a protagonist whose mortality is an undeniable given and extraordinary fight choreography captured live on camera without relying on CGI, wires, or lazy editing, The Raid: Redemption comes closer to perfect than most R-rated action films ever have.
A Swat team arrives at a rundown apartment block with a mission to remove its owner, a notorious drug lord named Tama. The building has never been raided before, never been touched by police. Seen as a no go zone it has since become a sanctuary to killers, gangs, rapists and thieves seeking accommodation in the one place they know they cannot be touched. Making their move in the break of dawn.. The Raid: Redemption: Directed by Gareth Evans. With Iko Uwais, Ananda George, Ray Sahetapy, Joe Taslim. A S.W.A.T. team becomes trapped in a tenement run by a ruthless mobster and his army of killers and thugs.
