looks good thanks for sharing, I like these kind of movies and it reminds me of elite squad 2 I saw recently, except Raid doesn't look like it has anything else to offer except great fight scenes which is fine for an action movie
but if you guys dig these types of movies, definitely check out Elite Squad 2 Enemy Within, it has everything ! action, grit and a great story, total package
Looks like some kids got into a lot of money and decided to make a movie with it
The movie I posted? Looks great man, it's not all Hollywood censored shit. It's gory and full of action. It's done right IMO.

OK one good movie came out of Korea. Just like people keep citing Infernal Affairs as a sign that there are still good films coming out of Hong Kong past 1999. 1 movie every 10 years isn't exactly an accomplishment.

^^^ don't watch that trailers can be deceiving and this one is
you didn't like Elite Squad ?? how come bro ? it got pretty much unanimous acclaim from critics and winner of a few festivals..
I'd actually have to say the opposite, after watching the movie and then watching this trailer again, that the trailer doesn't even do the movie justice, this is one rare case where the movie is better than the trailer.
It's got the best of all worlds, something for the gangsters, something for the socially conscious, and plenty for those who want an interesting plot and story line in a movie.
I will say though Elite Squad has a lot of story to it that you gotta follow to really enjoy the movie, but it's not that complicated because you will know exactly who the good guys and the bad guys are by the end of it.

well i went in expecting an action police/gangster brazillian movie (from the trailer) with a mix of the departed/the wire/the godfather (as advertised) instead i got a drawn out boring movie that didn't deserve to be compared to the departed/the wire/the godfather
maybe its because i had crappy subtitles but i doubt it, maybe i was expecting much more in terms of intrigue in my opinion the movie was really a->b->c there was no "oh whats next?" it was "so when i guess that's gonna happen next... yep"
it wasn't horrible mind you i was just disappointed still gave it a 6/10 still in the movie thread
