The Night Comes For Us
Splatter action film by Timo Tjahjanto boasts massive body count and over-the-top violence amid a Triad turf war. Reteams The Raid stars Iko Uwais (also star of Tjahjanto's Headshot) and Joe Taslim.
Ito (Taslim) returns home after years spent as a soulless Triad killer. There's no escaping his past though, and violence soon erupts throughout Jakarta and bringing him face to face with Arian (Uwais), a friend from his past who has also risen through the crminal underworld.
