The Raid (Serbuan Maut)
The last 2 vs 1 fight is ridiculous. The Duo (Iko Uwais and Donny Alamsyah) just tanked too much that the fighting even stay interesting past the first two minutes. They are not supposed to be superhuman, but they look like they are Superman and Jet Li combined. Mad Dog (Yayan Ruhian) really lived up to his name, guy just would not stop, he gets tossed around like a ragdoll then is back in your face seconds later. I like it when MD kills the commander guy because MD is a psychopath who prefers beating people to death than shooting them.
Even fighting for life, human body have some limits not so far down the road. A few hard punchs or kicks that hit put you down no matter who you are. More so when guys are the same weight class more or less. Its not boxing gloves I am talking about. Its a fist made of bone that crashes at high speed against your defenseless skull. Not that the movie is meant to be realistic anyway, since everyone involved in the story just so happens to be a martial arts master.
FYI, Yayan Ruhian in his real life is a silat master who teaches his students a breathing technique that makes their body able to withstand kicks, punches, or fists. So, what you see in the movie is not entirely unrealistic.
