Beginning with a raid carried out by an elite team of police to an apartment inhabited by a gang led by a most wanted and most feared king pin. But the initial invasion went smoothly turned into a bloody raid as an elite team of police action is seen by one of the gang members. Stuck in the apartment filled with members of the armed gangsters, one by one elite team of police officers should fall to the tragic.

Eventhough this movie is not a grade A movie , but I was not disappointed that the issue of money and time to watch this movie. In fact, i'm very satisfied, along with other more than 200 audience. Acting of the cast is also quite good. Right angle shooting, editing is quick and neat. Action choreography also featured something new from Asia, the martial art Pencak Silat which worked well.

Musical arrangement, the dialogue is also very supportive. So it's not something surprising when the film was given an appreciation by a variety of festival films such as "The Cadillac People's Choice Award" for the category

Midnight Madness in the event the Toronto International Film Festival 2011 (TIIF) which to-36, then the committee Sundance Film Festival award this film a "Spotlight".

Even though it looks brutal, but I prefer to call it realistic. Action films are not only present but also the psychological condition and fighting spirit of a man in the face of a dangerous situation and the chances of survival are very small
