Movie review, like finally?

It has been so long since I write a movie review, most of the time, I'm just simply lazy to do it, sometime I'm too busy to do the writing. Since I got a bit of time, why not do it. So what movie I'm going to review? It's called "The Raid: Redemption" This is one of the rare movie that I've watched in my life, because it's an indonesian movie. Not being racist, just it's pretty rare to see it in big theatre over here in singapore. And I've heard good reviews of this movie, thus I decided to give it a shot. After the movie, I would say it's pretty damn good. The story: I always think that a movie should have good story, I don't care how good the graphics are in the movie or how hot the actors/actresses are, if the story is not good, then it's a bad movie. Yes, I'm referring to Transformer, bad movie at it's best. So I shall go down to this movie's plot. This movie got very simple plot, but still works kind of plot for a movie. It's a simple "police charge in, kill all the bad guys, discover some mystery that they didn't expect and then got out of the place". Since the plot is so simple, revealing too much would have spoiled the movie. But one thing for sure, it still works for movie. The plot is a bit similar to "Blood and bones", simple, still workable. At the end of the movie, you would still remember the movie plot. Graphic: Nothing much to talk on this movie, the graphic are done very minimally. It's workable, but there are scene of explosions are simply very easy to see through and obvious that it's CGI. Music: The music is really good, it brings the emotions of each required scene. But the most remarkable one is during the final fight, the sound track excites you to watch the final fight scene and at the end of the fight, you find nothing but satisfaction. Action: The Gun fight are ok, nothing much to talk about it. Typical gun fight choreography for a police film. The highlight is the hand to hand combat fight scene. It's pencek silat on galore, the fight scene are insanely good. Not only it brought out the essence of pencek silat, it also brought the excitement of the audiences in the theatre. I remembered after the final fight scene, everyone cheered because the fight is so damn good and the good guys finally overcame the bad guy. It's rare to see crowd cheering at the end of the movie, I only remember witnessing it once at the end of ip man 1. From this, can judge how good the final fight scene was. Overall: I think I will give this movie a 7/10, the only thing that's lacking is a better graphic and a slightly deeper plot, else, everything works fine for me. I shall stop here, I think I will write a few more post, seeing my blog is so dead in the recent months.
