Headshot ain't no Raid movie, but that's okay. Iko Uwais is a bad bad man, and the Mo Brothers deliver an Indonesian action delight.
Remember Hammer Girl and Baseball Bat Man from The Raid 2: Berandal? Well, the actors are back, and both are fun to watch. Iko vs Baseball Bat Man is the best fight in the film. While, Iko vs Hammer Girl is somewhat underperforming; it does provide the most dramatic moment in the movie.
Y'all like action, right? Y'all reading the wrong review if you don't. Headshot has some of the craziest action this side of John Wick: Chapter 2. You have prison fights, bus fights, warehouse fights, creepy dungeon fights, hospital fights and police station brawls.…

One of those movies where I can comfortably say “this shit rocks” while also only giving it three-ish stars. Like, is the whole thing just balls to the wall action? Yes, big time. But, does it also read at a third grade level? Also yes, also big time. Right from the jump, you have a group of cops and a group of prisoners just start unloading on each other with machine guns even though they’re all standing approximately five feet away from one another…so, not exactly “smart” action aimed at your standard “sophisticated” cinephile. But, once you’re over that hurdle, it’s a pretty fun ass time.
Saying that Gareth Evans “reinvigorated” Indonesian action cinema would be a gross understatement; the…

One thing is certain: the title does isn't misleading. In fact, it's an understatement, because individuals are shot all over their bodies. There are also some well-choreographed martial arts fight sequences.
However, something about the story failed to engage me, and while it was exciting to see all of the action on screen, nearly none of it made an impact on me, leaving me somewhat underwhelmed. Also, the cinematography irritated me a little, as it had this cinematic quality at times, and then transitioned to another that appeared to be filmed with an inferior camera, giving the film almost a television look.
All in all, while it delivers as a fight/action film to some extent, it is at the same time another poor reminder that its lead and his talents have been heavily exploited after The Raid movies.

Definitely tested my patience for handheld camerawork and CGI blood, but let yourself go and you'll find a truly senseless exercise in gleeful violence. A minor facemelter.

Everything you need to know about “Headshot,” an Indonesian bloodbath that stars the same actor from “The Raid” and feels like it was cut together from that film’s deleted footage, can be gleaned from an early fight scene aboard a public bus that’s just been shot to pieces by a gang of vicious criminals.
Our hero, an amnesiac ass-kicker named Ishmael (Iko Uwais), doesn’t remember that he used to be a member of the same syndicate that he’s now trying to kill, hops on board and promptly begins to snap ligaments and gouge eyeballs. Directors Kimo Stamboel and Timo Tjahjanto make spectacular use of the confined area, and — as with all of the many, many death matches that are stretched across this saga — the sequence continues for so long that you forget how the characters actually got there.

Although the Mo Brothers have never directed an action film before, they have definitely played their share of Gears of War, because every fucking character is a damage sponge.

I can't believe it took me this long to get around to watching this maybe it was all the comments about it being inferior to The Raid movies that put me off. I mean it certainly isn't on the same level as The Raid movies but it's still pretty damn good! Just a brilliant no-nonsense balls to the wall, bloody, brutal, nonstop action thrill ride. Packed full of brutal shootouts, fight scenes, and top-tier choreography that you expect from an Indonesian martial arts film. It goes from an epic prison escape shootout to an epic police station shootout with a fantastic fight on a public bus sandwiched in between the action is relentless. If you are familiar with The Raid…

Ouch that's gotta hurt: The Movie
In comparison to The Raid and The Night Comes for Us, Headshot is definitely the weakest but it's still decent. The action choreography is just as great but what the action sequences are lacking is style, memorable set pieces and the camerawork that captures them is hit but mostly miss. It does capture the action to the point where we see everything going on but the camera is so shaky it'll give you a headache. At other times it has great camerawork, like the moment where Iko Uwais falls out of a bus. Fairly good use of slow motion also.
It's pretty well known that in this genre the story is always the weakest…

The instant I saw Iko Uwais was in this movie I knew it was an inevitability that I was going to see it. After I saw The Raid I was so blown away that I was pretty certain I would wind up checking out any action movie this man is in. After watching The Raid 2 all doubt from my mind was erased. So as soon as I heard of this movie I bought it. I didn't bother watching a trailer or reading a synopsis, I just bought it. The problem with that is the fact that I bought it just expecting it to be on the same level as those previous films, and that isn't necessarily the right thing…

Headshot is half NC-17 Jackie Chan film and half Chang Cheh climax. All killer. No filler. For a film that's so ridiculously violent, Iko Uwais surprisingly gets to show a real charming side of himself that is missing from THE RAID films.

Battling amnesia is one thing, but battling it while falling for your doctor and fighting a crime syndicate is a different level altogether.
An action thriller film at its heart, martial arts stunner, Iko Uwais gets into electric fist fights as he tries figuring out more about who he is. While it is not as action heavy as The Raid (2011) and The Raid 2 (2014) and certainly not as gorgeously brutal asThe Night Comes For Us (2018), it has melodrama going for it. The great thing about melodrama is when it is cooked just the right amount, not too rare not too well done, it charms its way through despite it being far from natural. That is precisely what…
