Throughout action cinema history, there have been definitive moments and movies that helped shape the genre and even films that redefined it as well. From JCVD’s star making turn in Bloodsport to Keanu Reeves and 87Eleven reinvigorating it with John Wick, certain pieces of celluloid have made this great genre rise from the pack and show off just how bad ass it truly is.
Gareth Evans’ The Raid is such a movie that transcended the genre and delivered something so special that it will forever go down as one movie that changed and shaped the way we saw martial arts fight action done on screen. The Raid also showcased a powerhouse action star making turn for Indonesian phenom Iko Uwais. When one watched this movie, one knew that they were definitely watching the birth of the next great action phenomenon. Let’s not forget that the pic was a blood drenched, dazzling spectacle of some of the most insane fight choreography ever captured on screen and Evans instantly demonstrated that he was Tier One when it came to putting berserker style chaos to the masses.
Now, The Raid is finally getting the home video props it so rightfully deserves as Umbrella Entertainment has officially unveiled the must have 4K Special Edition collection which should be the definitive version to own. Locked N Loaded with an amazing 4K restoration and countless special features, scroll below to immerse yourself in The Raid!
The throat-cutting, arm-snapping, non-stop action flick THE RAID has arrived with a brand new transfer in 4K HDR with Dolby Vision and Atmos in collaboration with director Gareth Evans. Including a NEW audio commentary, a NEW fight co-ordinator reacts, NEW written content, NEW Q&A with the director, and the FULL hardback graphic novel of the film from Titan Comics.
Praised for its innovative approach to martial arts cinema, with its breathtaking choreography and gritty realism, the film has earned acclaim from audiences and critics alike. THE RAID is pulse-pounding action and intense character-driven drama, standing as a modern classic in the genre and solidifying Gareth Evans’ reputation as a master of action filmmaking.
