The best action movies are the ones that really get your blood pumping, your heart thumping and make you clench your fists so tight you nearly break your fingers. Films like Die Hard, Ong Bak, The Man From Nowhere, A Bittersweet Life and Hard Boiled. And now it seems we have another title to add to that list, Gareth Evan's The Raid. The Raid just premiered in the Toronto Film Festival to rave reviews from critics and audiences alike. Judging from the trailer, we're looking at a tough, gritty, violent tale told altogether stunningly.
