Sampparound Review of Raid

Raid (2003)

(minor spoiler)Funny actionmovie in the line of "Last Action Hero"

But unlike "LAH", the hero doesn´t try or even want to get in touch with his softer side. The intrigue of the movie is that an political activist gets killed by the police during a demonstration.
