The well-known Indonesian action film “The Raid” will be remade by Netflix in a new version, the film is directed by Patrick Hughes (“The Hitman’s Bodyguard”), Michael Bay is the producer, and the original director Gareth Evans is the executive producer.

The Hollywood remake of “The Raid” has been planned for a long time, and now Netflix is running the film, and I don’t know how it will progress.

According to previous news, the story of the new version of the film has been transplanted to the United States and has undergone a complicated adaptation.

The protagonist is a veteran who has just returned from the battlefield and is on the verge of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), requiring several months of recuperation.

But at this moment, he suddenly heard news from his brother. In fact, years ago, his brother was thought to be dead.

Now the brother “turned out” and is under the control of the gang, he has only 18 hours to save his brother.

The original version, starring Iko Uwais, Yayan Ruhian, etc., tells the story of a group of SWAT police entering a building in a slum where gangsters and thugs gather, where they start a brutal life-and-death fight.

The original version of “The Raid” was a pure fighting movie with little plot, all set in one building, and a lot of action.

The entire film, from the action design to the camera editing, gives a very real feeling.

The most eye-catching thing is the use of a large number of professional combat techniques CQC (Close Quarters Combat) in the film, which makes people fully aware of the charm of advanced individual close-up tactics of daggers and firearms.

And after this film, CQC became the object that action fans talked about.

At present, there are no specific details on the launch of the remake version of “The Raid”.
