About this movie

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 rundown apartment block has been considered untouchable. 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, they find themselves stranded on the 6th floor with no way out. The unit must fight their way through the city's worst to survive their mission. 2012 PT.Merantau Films. All Rights Reserved.

Ratings and reviews

The plot wandered off and came back all shot up. The cops had less SWAT training than the villains, no armor on a swat van?!, cheesy foreshadowing of every fight scene, bad guys can only fight well against the rookie cops. At least a few of the fight scenes were okay. I would feel robbed if I had paid to watch this.

Gave it a 3 because there's really no real depth or plot. It's like hitting repeat on a ip man fight scene for over a hour. Still awesome.

Over the top Kung Fu madness with matrix style gun play... at least until they run out of bullets! Perhaps the most intense martial arts fighting sequences ever. Some reviewers say they're unrealistic - yes, but not in a crouching tiger hidden dragon or kill bill kind of way. Great action purist kind of flick. If you must have a storyline and character development in every movie, this isn't for you.
