Movies like The Raid: Redemption, ranked
1. The Raid 2 (2014)
Director Gareth Evans escalates the confined brutality of the first film into a sprawling crime saga, maintaining the visceral martial arts choreography and Indonesian underworld setting while expanding the scope to prison cells, nightclubs, and rain-soaked streets.
2. Den of Thieves (2018)
Gerard Butler's relentless cat-and-mouse pursuit through Los Angeles delivers the same claustrophobic intensity and hand-to-hand brutality as a single location becomes a battleground between cop and criminal.
3. Extraction (2020)
Extraction mirrors The Raid's claustrophobic intensity through a singular, inescapable mission where a skilled operative becomes trapped in enemy territory, forcing relentless combat sequences that prioritize brutal, kinetic action over plot convenience.
4. Die Hard (1988)
Director Joe Carnahan's visceral staging of confined combat and Gareth Evans' approach share an obsession with choreography-driven action that transforms vertical architecture into a maze of survival, where each floor demands a new tactical solution.
5. Dredd (2012)
Director Gareth Evans' kinetic close-quarters combat and vertical building siege translates to Dredd through Karl Urban's stoic lawman systematically dismantling a drug empire floor by floor with the same methodical brutality and gun-fu intensity.
6. S.W.A.T. (2003)
Director Joe Carnahan orchestrates the same claustrophobic siege mentality and hand-to-hand combat intensity, trapping his SWAT team in escalating hostage situations where tactical precision crumbles into raw survival instinct.
7. Black Rain (1989)
Ridley Scott's kinetic direction captures the same claustrophobic tension and visceral hand-to-hand combat that defines verticality through a sprawling Japanese crime underworld instead of a single building.
