Collider | ‘Headshot’ Review
Collider
The Raid is a high bar to set for action movies, but since it’s my only frame of reference for Indonesian action cinema, it is, for better or worse, the standard I set for similar movies. However, it’s not too much of an unfair comparison when it comes to Headshot, a movie co-directed by Timo Tjahjanto, who co-directed the V/H/S/2 short “Safe Haven” with Raid director Gareth Evans, and starring Raid lead actor Iko Uwais. Both movies feature balls-to-wall action and plenty of violence, but a flat-footed film like Headshot makes you appreciate the skill that went into the Raid movies.
