"American action movies are almost entirely defined by cutaways, blaring music cues and grunts. The Raid: Redemption, a hyper-energetic Indonesian martial arts movie, delivers an effective rebuke to that meek norm." — Eric Kohn, IndieWire
"Taking the genre to a higher level of intensity, the Welsh-born Evans continues what he started in previous Indonesia-set actioner Merantau, but this picture will seal his cult status." — Robert Koehler, Variety
"Remember your first time with Hard Boiled? Die Hard? This is how it's done—a clean, hard, constant hit of adrenaline. If it's not the best action movie of the year, we'll eat a fridge." — Simon Crook, Empire
