Serbuan Maut (Deadly Assault or Death Raid), known as The Raid: Redemption in English-speaking countries, is a 2011 Indonesian martial arts action film written, directed and edited by Gareth Evans. The movie stars martial artist Iko Uwais in the leading role, making this his second team-up with Evans (the first being Merantau).Deep in the heart of Jakarta's slums sits what appears to be a derelict apartment building — but is, in reality, a well-guarded and well-armed safe house for some of the world's most dangerous criminals. Though the run-down apartment block is considered untouchable to even the bravest of police, on one rainy morning, an elite strike team rolls out with a single order: raid the building and take down the notorious drug lord who runs it.All goes according to plan at first, but when a chance encounter with a spotter blows their cover and news of their assault reaches the drug lord, the building's lights go out and the "tenants" cut off all the exits. Stranded on the 6th floor with no way out, the strike team must fight their way through the city's worst criminals to carry out their mission...or at least survive long enough to find a way out.A sequel, The Raid 2: Berandal, was released worldwide on 28 March 2014. An American remake bringing back Evans as producer and Yayan Ruhian (Mad Dog) and Uwais as fight choreographers has been announced, but is currently on hold.A graphic novel based on the film was published in Indonesia in 2012. In 2016, it was announced that Titan Comics had partnered with Evans and XYZ Films (one of the film's production companies) to create a comic book Spin-Off series that expands on characters from both films with original stories. The series, consisting of four volumes, was released in 2018.No connection to the 1954 western of the same name | |

Rasputinian Death: Mad Dog is on the receiving end of one at the hands of Rama and Andi. Even after getting stabbed deep in the neck with a shard of tube lighting and his spine and both arms broken, he's still fighting until his throat is finally slashed open. Not to mention that before that fight even started he'd been in a several-minute-long brawl with Jaka and still kept going. | |

Dressing as the Enemy: Defied. The SWAT guys could simply swap clothes with some of their defeated foes in order to blend in with the random residents and slip away rather than fight through hordes of them, but they never do. Rama openly refuses to do so, saying his police clothes "fit better." | |

Steel Eardrums: While at the beginning of the movie the SWAT team uses silenced assault rifles (which are realistically still pretty loud), the gangsters use Kalashnikovs in an enclosed, echoing central hallway with seemingly no hearing loss (though they die quickly enough so it is possible that they did lose hearing, it just wasn't shown). On the other hand, when Rama stands literally right next to an exploding fridge (see Improvised Weapon above) he has zero hearing problems. The only time someone is shown having hearing problems is a guy whose ear is completely shot off (see Shell-Shock Silence above). | |

Mauve Shirt: Bowo and Dagu are the only other two cops besides Rama and Jaka to survive the initial massacre of the SWAT team and gain any characterization. Bowo is sidelined from much of the action because of grievous injuries he sustained in the attack, and Dagu assists Rama in the narcotics lab fight before he's betrayed and shot by Wahyu. | |

Considering the fact that they're stuck in hostile territory with no way out and no chance of rescue, it's more justified than usual. | |

Now in GIF form for your viewing pleasure!◊ Andi uses a broken fluorescent light tube against Mad Dog, and Rama finishes him off with it. In the meth lab, Lt. Wahyu beats a mook down with a chair and drops a metal locker cabinet on another. | |

Armor Is Useless | |
| The Raid / int_638b65bc | comment |
Armor Is Useless: Justified in that the SWAT team vests are simple "crossdraw" style vests, meant to carry magazines and tools, rather than provide any real protection. The vests would be worn OVER a flak vest or plate carrier (which the police curiously aren't wearing) if protection was needed. They still stop the occasional slash, and since silat involves heavy use of knees and elbows, Rama's pads come in very handy. | |

Covers Always Lie | |
| The Raid / int_7315fd38 | comment |
Covers Always Lie: The UK DVD cover◊ modified the original cover/poster, adding helicopters and multiple explosions on the outside of the building. Only one explosion happens in the movie, and no helicopters appear in the film at all. This is really odd because when the movie was first released in theaters internationally, they all used the same original poster◊. Additionally, most versions of the cover play up the "20 Elite Cops, 30 Floors of Hell" tagline. The truth is that most of the cops are undertrained rookies, their numbers are reduced to a handful pretty early on, and the building in question only goes up to floor 15 (as seen in a wide shot when the team is approaching). | |

Establishing Character Moment | |
| The Raid / int_7febc23b | comment |
Establishing Character Moment: Rama starts the film in a montage of prayer, exercise, and saying goodbye to his pregnant wife, establishing him as a likable badass and stoic. Tama starts the film by shooting a group of hostages in the back of the head. Running out of bullets when moving to shoot the last one, he decides to pick up a hammer from a drawer to do the deed, rather than the bullets surrounding it. Jaka establishes himself as a total hard-ass in his opening monologue, but also demonstrates his basic decency by letting the innocent bystander bring his medicine to his sick wife, on the condition that Rama "stick to him like fucking glue." Mad Dog and Andi are described before we really meet them, so it's entirely possible for a first-time viewer not to be sure which is which for a long time — especially since Mad Dog is so small that you wouldn't expect him to be the tough and scary one, and since Andi's establishing character moment is him violently attacking his fellow gangsters. | |

Ambiguously Evil | |
| The Raid / int_853b7948 | comment |
Ambiguously Evil: Lieutenant Wahyu clearly knows more than he's telling about what's going on, to the point where it jeopardizes the mission when Jaka and the team learn that they're there unauthorized, and no one can help them. When the fighting heats up, he's seen cowering, but by the time he's cornered with the team, he's blasting away with everyone else, and throws down with Rama and Dagu when he has to. Whether he's a Cowboy Cop or a Dirty Cop is questioned, and his scenes of retrospection could be cause for regret, but they aren't. Wahyu makes his intentions unambiguously clear when he murders Dagu, and reveals himself as a cowardly opportunist. | |

There Is No Kill Like Overkill | |

There Is No Kill Like Overkill: Jaka's signature kill. 3 point-blank headshot while holding the target's head. A badly-wounded Bowo does the same thing to a guy during the corridor fight. When the residents attack the cops in the van, they open up on full-auto and just keep firing. Justified to an extent, as they're trying to disable the van itself, and not just kill the cops. | |

Pint-Sized Powerhouse | |
| The Raid / int_8f1450ba | comment |
Pintsized Powerhouse: Mad Dog is smaller than most of the cast, yet he's Tama's enforcer. He's a highly skilled martial artist and clearly tougher than any of the other characters, even though he's prone to being frequently picked up and thrown around. He defeats and kills Jaka, who is about twice his size, and it takes the combined efforts of both Rama and Andi to kill him. Even then, he completely dominates the fight and only begins to falter once Andi manages to stab him in the neck from behind. Rama's not the biggest guy either, especially in comparison to the rest of the force, but he basically completes the raid alone. Dagu's about the same size as Rama, and in many of his own fights he's seen lifting and flipping opponents bigger than him. It takes him, Rama, and Agee to move the fridge, but when Agee's killed and Rama starts shooting, Dagu continues pushing the thing into place by himself. | |

Faux Affably Evil: Tama. In his Establishing Character Moment, he "politely" asks one of the captives he his murdering to look after his very empty gun (they're tied up, so they can't do anything back) and wait for him to get back, then beats him to death with a hammer when he could have granted him a quicker death by reloading. He also comes across as relatively courteous while telling the gangsters to brutally murder the SWAT team. | |

Mad Dog goes through one epic fight with the sergeant, yet he's still prime to get double-teamed.

Oh, Crap!: Jaka has this reaction twice in quick succession early on - first when the lookout alerts upstairs that the police have arrived, and second when Wahyu reveals the raid was not officially sanctioned, meaning the squad is alone and unsupported. | |

Wrestler in All of Us: Mad Dog uses a swinging neckbreaker against Jaka before finishing him off. The machete gang leader tries a powerbomb on Rama. Dagu uses a chokeslam onto a table in one of the mooks. Rama uses a facebuster variation on one of the machete gang onto a broken doorframe. Ouch. | |

| The Raid / int_b7c53a22 | comment |
Blood Knight: Mad Dog, who gets no pleasure from shooting people, but really enjoys beating them to death with his bare hands. Twice he handicaps himself when he has an advantage to provide his enemies a fighting chance. He seems to get an almost sexual pleasure from hurting people, as evidenced when he kills Jaka. | |

Blade Enthusiast: Rama favours the special forces T-BAR, and uses it in conjunction with a nightstick and his silat expertise on a corridor of mooks to gruesome effect. Most of the mooks make use of pig-stickers, but prominent among them are the gang who exclusively use massive machetes. | |

Nice Guy: Rama, who is portrayed as generally kind and not prone to needless wanton violence. The apartment resident who has a sick wife also counts as one; he gives shelter to Rama (albeit reluctantly) and does not appear to have any real connection or resemblance to the rest of the building's inhabitants. | |

Never Bring a Knife to a Fist Fight | |
| The Raid / int_e54f93d5 | comment |
Never Bring a Knife to a Fist Fight: One good guy. Four machete-armed bad guys. Good guy wins. Enforced, oddly: Rama loses his knife and nightstick early in the movie, and doesn't retrieve them immediately because he needs to hide. Later, however, he literally walks on his nightstick as he leaves, but doesn't take a moment to rearm (nor does anyone else through the rest of the movie, really). | |

Additionally, most versions of the cover play up the "20 Elite Cops, 30 Floors of Hell" tagline. The truth is that most of the cops are undertrained rookies, their numbers are reduced to a handful pretty early on, and the building in question only goes up to floor 15 (as seen in a wide shot when the team is approaching). | |
