The Raid: Redemption is an Indonesian action film. I really don't have much to say about this film, except it is AWESOME.
The premise is rather straight-foward. A swat team storms an apartment building to snatch/arrest a powerful crime "boss". This crime boss has rented most of the apartments to other criminals and low-lifes. Once the swat team is in, he tells everyone over the PA system that they will get free rent for life if they kill the swat team. ACTION!
With such a ridiculous scenario, you don't want to wait 20 minutes for it to be set up. And you don't have to! 5 minutes, 10 tops, and then all inferno breaks loose.
The action is fast-paced, creative, and fun. The plot reveals more depth as the film progresses. The few main characters have strong varied personalities.
If you want to watch a well-made action film, this has it all.
