I watched 2 Indonesian action bangers. I should have watched these before. I put so many people onto The Raid when it came out and watched it earlier this year too. I saw a trailer for The Shadow Strays on Netflix and was like this looks fire.
I wasn't familiar with the director but I saw and liked his segments for the V/H/S movies. Him and Gareth Evans did Safe Haven which is my favorite segment from those movies.
The Raid 2
Movie was great. Top notch.
The prison stuff was great. Them beating on the bathroom door, and breaking it down to get beat down
The girl with the hammers
The car chase scene. The camera went above the car to show him whipping ass. The guy unload a clip into a motorcyclist face and broke it off piece by piece
The whole fight in the kitchen
The story is pretty basic, mobster's son gets greedy, and bites off more than he can chew. Even still felt like a great watch.
The Night Comes for Us
This was horror movie gory. It got a NC-17 rating and earned it. The movie is action packed pretty much throught.
Again the story isn't much but the Carnage is what keeps you here. That and the new characters that they introduce. It's a bit more cartoon/comic book than The Raid movies but still fun.
I'm going to watch some of their other stuff since I enjoyed these two movies so much.
Julie Estelle was in both movies and stole some scenes. She should be a bigger star. The girl fight in The Night Comes for Us is the best girl fight I've seen in a movie.
Thank you
@FlyRy. Can you guys recommend anymore action movies like these where they mainly use hands and feet and not guns?
