The story nominally centers on one of the tactical team rookies, Rama
(the fast, fluid Iko Uwais), who, despite his face-and-fist screen time
proves as largely incidental to the choreographed mayhem as the rest of
the characters.
And turmoil there is, from the moment the team breaches the building, where it’s set upon by hordes of criminals heeding the call of a murderous mastermind, Tama (Ray Sahetapy).

On and on the evil floods in, springing out of apartments and doorways with firing guns, flashing blades, hammering hands and eruptions of thrusting, jabbing right-angled elbows.
The standout is the suitably named Mad Dog (Yayan
Ruhian, one of the movie’s fight choreographers), a commanding physical
presence whose hair hangs in front of his face like a shredded curtain.
