The Raid's Joe Taslim and Iko Uwais square off in this insanely brutal Indonesian action thriller.

The plot's pretty much nonsense, but writer-director Timo Tjahjanto does such a bang-up job with the plentiful, gory action sequences that you'll likely not give a damn.

Taking a more cartoonish and less-finessed approach to its set-pieces than The Raid movies, The Night Comes for Us is all about the buckets of gore, wacky camera movements and gruellingly physical performances. And boy, it sure as hell delivers.

Just treat the occasional expository dialogues as opportunities to calm down between all the dizzyingly violent set-pieces and you'll have one hell of a time.
