The Raid Turns 10

Ahoy Captain Cats here and today we are going to take a look at one of the best action movies that came out in 2011 and still to this day is one of the best and that film is The Raid.

The film was written and directed by Welsh filmmaker Gareth Evans and the film is about a group of 20 man squad trying to do a raid on an apartment block to arrest a crime lord and it went wrong for the squad.

The film was nothing like anyone has seen when it came out in 2011 and on a $1.1 million budget, it was a hit and made a total of $9.3 million in the box office. The film would have a sequel in 2014 and build on what made the first film a hit and made it even better. There was a third film in the works but sadly Evans stated that the third film his not going to happen and was happy with how the second film ended.

If you haven’t watched The Raid, make time and watch. The film and its 2014 sequel is worth your time. If you somehow don’t have the time to watch The Raid here is a great summary that involves claymation and cats.
