(Gareth Evans / Indonesia / 2011 / 101 minutes / Cert TBC)
Welsh director Gareth Evans is winning plaudits as the greatest living martial arts director thanks to this ultra-violent future cult classic. Coming across like Die Hard remade by Takashi Miike, Evans’ film mixes inspiration from action & horror genre classics like Assault on Precinct 13, Escape from New York, and [REC].
Join us as we follow a police raid on an impenetrable 15-story high Jakarta tenement building run by a powerful drug lord, witnessing insane gun battles, martial arts and all the stunts you’d expect from a $100 million dollar Hollywood blockbuster. The difference is this cost $1.1 million and is about 100 times cooler.
