Deep in the heart of Jakarta's slums lies an impenetrable safe house for the world's most dangerous killers and gangsters. Until now, the run-down apartment block has been considered untouchable to even the bravest of police. Cloaked under the cover of pre-dawn darkness and silence, an elite swat team is tasked with raiding the safe house in order to take down the notorious drug lord that runs it. But when a chance encounter with a spotter blows their cover and news of their assault reaches the drug lord, the building's lights are cut and all the exits blocked. Stranded on the sixth floor with no way out, the unit must fight their way through the city's worst to survive their mission. Starring Indonesian martial arts sensation Iko Uwais.

Plot standard and predictable, but it's really just a vehicle for amazing martial arts choreography.

A straightforward plot sets the stage for an adrenaline pumping sequence of action scenes. Some of the best fight choreography I’ve seen.

Impressive camera work paired with fantastic martial artists makes for a great action movie.

The action is unbelievably well done. It puts Hollywood movies to shame.

Hands down the best action sequence and choreography

Roland St. Lawrence

Kick-ass martial arts. Pure awesomeness, for lack of a better term.

You’re in for a ride with some awesome action sequences and disbelief.

Adam B. Hausser

Great action, that's too much at times. Good story and great character development considering the type of movie and run time.

Has some of the best action sequences ever put on film, and I don’t say that lightly. This is an absolute must-watch action film.

This movie raised the bar for action so much that I get let down when other production's choreography is not up to par.
