[Redemption] is a relentless, bloody, brutal action movie, with successive scene after scene of balls-to-the-wall-style choreographed violence.

Hollywood is particularly unsuited to producing sensation cinema these days.

My only complaint about The Raid is that it ended.

There’s something a bit poetic and inevitable about the moralizing division, and it cuts even deeper with a brother on each side of the camera’s axis.

4/5

Immensely fresh in that it truly feels like a film that will harm you at any given moment.

Not only do the two actors make an indelible impression with their physical prowess, Evans’s direction and storytelling draws us in further so that each moment of character desperation holds audiences in a steel grip.

The definition of what an action movie should be. Though a light story, the filming and fights are outstanding.

Some of the best fight choreography ever filmed. Thin story, but absolutely delivers as an action movie.

This movie was pretty fun and from what I’ve seen mainly made to focus on fight choreography rather than story. Since it was full of action the movie went by fast. There was too much yelling during the fight scenes so it seemed like it was dragging sometimes but it was fun to watch.

Great action, less emotion.

Everything's great except for the plot and how dumb it is because of that. If you just want to watch it for the action and fights, it's a 10 out of 10, but the plot is so incredibly annoying—it's just that bad—that it completely ruined my enjoyment of the movie.
