It's definitely a good martial arts/ action film but not as good as the 2 Raid films which are kind of similar style to this one.
E.g Some reviewers say that's the raid 3 but it is not. It's story and characters are unrelated.
It's mostly different because It Lacks Pace.
Also it looses points because of the effort to give some depth in the characters and a background story, which doesn't really work well here and makes the film longer than it should be.
However, it's still a relentless and impressive action film with a couple of memorable fight scenes.
Violence and gore are everywhere but somewhat less than the Raid. Still, be prepared.
But if you really like this film and have not seen the Raid yet...you d better get to it!
And if you're thinking if you should watch this film but still haven't seen the Raid... then skip this and start first with the Raid!
