Whichever other reviewers compared this movie to The Raid or The Raid 2 clearly haven't seen this movie. To suggest any of the fight scenes, action taking place in this movie or the cinematography is anywhere in the same realm of The Raid or The Raid 2 is unquestionably void of sight.
The Raid movies were top notch high quality gruesomely amazing action movies, this movie is not even cracking the top 2000+ list of action movies i've seen.
If you want to see a movie with terribly choreographed fight scenes, absolutely poor sound editing, terrible camera work, and lazy plot... then yeah this is your jam.
I really need to repeat this, the fight scenes feel fake, are terribly choreographed and poorly shot. When you see a good action movie the punches and kicks look real, looks like it hurts. This particular movie however, the punches and kicks among other things look like they were being puller back. The only thing in the fight scenes that actually feels real and painful is the use of knives, but with the exception of that the fights and overall action falls flat.
The sound editing was bad throughout, most importantly during fight scenes and action sequences.
The awful camerawork didn't help, but wasn't the biggest problem. If the action and fights were better choreographed and the plot was there, then yes the lack of quality camerawork would have been the biggest obstacle in getting the rating more than a 6/10.
