A new trailer has slid online for the new bloodbath flick of the year, The Raid, and since it’s a ridiculously slow news day thus far, we figured we may as well bring a little ultra violence to your afternoon.

Directed by Gareth Evans, The Raid (aka The Raid: Redemption) stars Iko Uwais, Doni Alamsyah, Yayan Ruhain, Ray Sahetapy, and Joe Taslim. Look for it in theatres on March 23rd from Sony Pictures Classics.

Synopsis
Rama, a member of a special forces team, arrives at a rundown apartment block with a mission to remove its owner, a notorious drug lord. The building has become a sanctuary to killers, gangs, rapists and thieves seeking accommodation in the one place they know they cannot be touched by the police. When a spotter blows their cover, Rama and his team must fight their way through every floor and every room not just to complete their mission but to survive their bloody ordeal.
