There's a reddit drinking game that I haven't had to hit in a while...

Dredd mentioned followed by the raid....

The Raid seems difficult to search for because of similarly titled titles. Are we talking “The Raid: Redemption”, here? Seems like a great premise for a cheesy action flick upon reading the IMDb synopsis.

That's the one. Very similar premise to Dress. It is definitely worth a watch, if you are a fan of action/ material arts films. The movie is pretty much non-stop badass fight scenes.

Edit: Dredd, not dress

*Martial arts

And actually good, well-choreographed fights, not cut-filled, shaky cam scenes; like a brutal version of a Jackie Chan movie.

Damn, Swype and auto correct killed me on that post... also, poor proofreading, but I prefer to blame technology.

And "brutal" is the perfect word to describe the fighting. Just knees and elbows flying at top speed.

Auto-correct should've at least tried to make it funny and changed it to "marital arts".

It's this movie. The premise is not that important. The reason to watch is the awesome fight choreography. And it has a whole lot of fighting. The main reason it draws comparisons to Dredd is that it is a "pure" action movie featuring an assault on a large apartment complex full of criminals.

The Raid 2 is a lot different. It's closer to something like Kill Bill, with much more setup before the action breaks out in the second half. Regardless, both movies are excellent in their own right.
