Asia After Hours

The Raid : 1 ruthless crime lord, 20 elite cops, 30 floors of hell

The Indonesian movie “The Raid” by Gareth Evans could become the best action movie of 2011. Iko Uwais could move up to ranks of a Tony Jaa. I heard Tony Jaa is totally pissed off from movie-making and would rather live as a monk than shooting movies again. There is still Tom Yum Goong 2 coming next year and then that’s it ?
Back the to Raid : The trailer looks fantastic ! I think there is only one guy in real life who could be the crime lord : anyone been to Stadium lately and hearing about the myth…Damn, the trailer excites me about Jakarta again.

Synopsis :
Deep in the heart of Jakarta’s slums lies an impenetrable safe house for the world’s most dangerous killers and gangsters. Until now, the run-down apartment block has been considered untouchable to even the bravest of police. Cloaked under the cover of pre-dawn darkness and silence, an elite swat team is tasked with raiding the safe house in order to take down the notorious drug lord that runs it. But when a chance encounter with a spotter blows their cover and news of their assault reaches the drug lord, the building’s lights are cut and all the exits blocked. Stranded on the sixth floor with no way out, the unit must fight their way through the city’s worst to survive their mission. Starring Indonesian martial arts sensation Iko Uwais.

The shadow of equinox

Indonesian girls are the latinas of SEA. Some have really curvy bodies and mixed blood. I seem to have established a preference for girls from Bandung. These girls are hot assets and I got to know why. The girl above is from Bandung and I have one more coming up also from Bandung. Next time I want to explore the city.

Ok, let’s shortly dive into the video. It is a love declaration to Stadium Jakarta. It shows you a tiny fraction of this dark/noir/gloomy/unreal place. Stadium is the landmark of Jakarta nightlife. Everyone knows it, half hates it, the other one loves it. It is very controversial. Equinox/X2 is also included in the beginning.

I personally really like the video, although I don’t think it will become a popular one. Don’t worry, the stuff most are waiting for is already finished in the pipeline.
