I really enjoyed watching this movie, though finnish film production seldom makes me enjoy its fruits. Last days I have been surprised by some great pieces of finnish film industry, this is definitely one of them. Great acting, especially Oiva Lohtander's role as inspector Jansson made me laugh. I really recommend this to every film freak on earth. Worth seeing!

The plot of Raid continues the one of the earlier TV-series: the system (politicians and corporate world) is corrupted, and the "little people" have to find alternative ways to deal with the situation.The movie is strangely professionally done for a Finnish one. All the characters have appropriate actors, who are able to add some depth into their performance from the TV-series. However, as a stand-alone movie this could be a little hard to follow specially in the beginning, since the "sequel-feeling" is quite strong.

This movie has a nice sense of humour. The hero, Raid, is a renegade adventurer who is surrounded by all kinds of funny sidekicks. Like "Last Action Hero" it exaggerates the macho of the hero, to the point where you can´t help but to laugh. Also the villains are pure evil and totally depraved of feelings. But unlike "LAH", the hero doesn´t try or even want to get in touch with his softer side. The intrigue of the movie is that an political activist gets killed by the police during a demonstration. The story then spins about Raid all the way up to an international money laundry operation which includes a surprising actor...

Raid was very popular tv-serie in Finland couple of years ago. It was a good story of dirty political deals including many human casualties. There were two kind of main characters. Polices and villains. Police leading characters investigate a case that was too hot to handle. Even they own superiors constantly try to brake the investigations and many finish leading politics were involved. At the same time professional hitman called Raid try to investigate the same thing for his own reasons. These both sides had very different working ways, but they had a mutual goal, so policemen try to look in a different way as much as they can when Raid handle a situation his way.Movie Raid is a sequel to this tv-serie. Like tv-serie it is very comical and it has superior dialogs and absolutely not any boring characters.Film is very good and surely worth of watching. There was a certain feeling that too many original tv-serie characters was put in the movie just because they are fun comical sidekicks, but that is the most common problem of all sequels.
