Below, you can get an exclusive look at the UK poster for Indonesian hit The Raid .

The film, destined to be your next favourite action movie, opens in the UK in May, but the buzz that has been building already has been close to deafening.

That’s not surprising, given that The Raid offers breathless, bone-crunching set-pieces relentlessly from the get-go, and never eases up throughout the 101-minute running time.

For further evidence of our fondness for the flick, made in Indonesia by Welsh ex-pat Gareth Evans, check out our quote on the exclusive poster below:

[ Click on the poster to see it in hi-res ]

And if that’s stoked your interest in the film, check out the production video above to get an idea of the intense boot-camp training regime that Evans put his cast through to ensure that the combat looked authentic on screen. You'll also get an insight into the martial arts choreography behind the brutal smackdowns.

The Raid opens in the UK on 18 May 2012, and should provide a bruising antidote to the summer season’s family-friendly fare. Keep up-to-date with The Raid 's UK Facebook page or follow @TheRaidUK on Twitter.
