**SO. MUCH. FUNNNNNNNN**
Safe to say I wasn't raid-y for that (that was a horrible pun)

The action of this movie was phenomenal, it was as if they were trying to tell me a story by punching me. During the whole runtime , I was on the edge of my seat and my god I don't think I've ever been excited when watching an action movie like I was today. It was a rollercoaster of just...killing..punching...kicking. And believe me when I say, there are no pit stops.

This is an easy 9/10 for me, as soon as I pressed play I was glued to the screen with the fight scenes, and the score which elevates the action sequences and makes it a 100 times better. Every fight scene of this movie is so perfectly directed from the choreography to the camera angles, props to the cameramen. On the flip side though, setting aside all the actions sequences, you have a movie with little to no plot, and the characters were probably the weakest part of the movie for me, no development whatsoever, they try to add in some heart to heart moments that serve no emotional values due to the shallow character arcs and ends up being a bit cheesy.

From the first act, you're set for a ride, you'll never be bored, similar to John Wick but Raid makes even John Wick look like a Disney movie. The three acts passed by so quick, _10% Dialogue 90% Fighting_, and boy did it work.

Overall, The Raid is 1h 40 minutes of pure adrenaline rush like a food menu with a wide range of action scenes and no side dishes for character development.
