Hopefully everyone got their butts handed to them – in the best way possible – by the trailer for Gareth Evans’ THE RAID: REDEMPTION yesterday; if not, please check it out HERE before you do anything else. Now that you’re caught up, you can take a peek at the official one-sheet, which has recently been revealed via Collider. 30 floors of chaos await that dude; he’d better be up to the task…
The synopsis: As a rookie member of an elite special-forces team, Rama (Iko Uwais) is instructed to hang back during a covert mission involving the extraction of a brutal crime lord from a rundown fifteen-story apartment block. But when a spotter blows their cover, boss Tama (Ray Sahetaphy) offers lifelong sanctuary to every killer, rapist and thief in the building in exchange for their heads. Now Rama must stand in for the team’s fallen leader (Joe Taslim) and use every iota of his fighting strength – winding through every floor and every room to complete the mission and escape with his life.
THE RAID: REDEMPTION hits theaters on MARCH 23rd; it was written, edited and directed by Gareth Huw Evans, and stars IkoUwais, Joe Taslim, Doni Alamsyah, Yayan Ruhian, Pierre Gruno, Ray Sahetapy and Tegar Satrya. The film is produced by Ario Sagantoro and executive produced by R. Maya Barack-Evans, Irwan D. Mussry, Nate Bolotin and Todd Brown.
