If you like the Raid films, Headshot is definitely worth checking out, just don't go into it expecting to be as good. It's directed by the Mo Brothers (Killers, Macabre) and stars Iko Uwais, Julie Estelle, Very Tri Yulisman, and Zack Lee (the last 3 all being in the Raid 2). I enjoyed it significantly more than Killzone 2, which was the foreign action film I saw a lot of praise for last year. My main complaint is you can feel the lack of Gareth Evans' editing skills and the cinematography prowess of the Raid 1&2's Matt Flannery and Dimas Imam Subhono. If you are in the mood for a violent action flick with generally well-designed fight scenes I highly recommend it as it definitely scratches that itch.
