The Raid elevates the genre with its rapid storytelling and impressive fight choreography. Set in Indonesia, a SWAT team is on a perilous mission against a drug lord in a high-rise building. As they battle skilled foes on each floor, viewers are captivated by brutal martial arts sequences. For stunt enthusiasts, the film
showcases talent and creativity, emphasising the art of movement in action cinema.

The Raid is completely deranged – and completely superb.

Remember your first time with Hard Boiled? Die Hard? This is how it’s done – a clean, hard, constant hit of adrenalin.

As part of the BFI’s Art of Action season, Cromarty Cinema is thrilled to offer a selection of films from around the world that illustrate the best of physical stunts, movement and mayhem.
