Synopsis

In the heart of Jakarta lies a rundown apart­ment infested with druggies and drifters. It’s ruled by Tama, a ruthless drug lord who uses the tenement to shelter his junkie customers, as well as his pushers, enforcers and killers. The apartment... See more block is considered untouch­able by even the bravest of police — until one morning when, cloaked under dawn’s dark­ness, an elite SWAT team led by Rama (Uwais) sweeps in. when their cover is blown, Tama’s men lash back with a hellish fury, unleashing a hail of bullets that cuts the team of lawmen down by half. with their exits blocked and munitions running low, Rama and his men must rally their energy and face off against a hive of vicious killers.

As Rama’s squad races between the rooms and floors of the building, the stakes get higher and higher, and director Evans uses this maze to bring numerous innova­tive kills and action gags to the screen. He builds set piece upon set piece, including a knock-’em-down brawl in the building’s drug lab.
