New UK Quad Poster for Martial Arts Thriller The Raid

Several weeks ago we posted the US trailer and poster for the martial arts thriller The Raid: Redemption. The studio has now released a UK quad poster for the film, adding a helicopter, some flames, and shortening the title to The Raid (right; click for larger version). This poster's tagline: "20 elite cops. 30 floors of hell."

The film stars Iko Uwais as Rama, a member of a special forces team, who arrives at a rundown apartment block with a mission to remove its owner, a notorious drug lord. The building has become a sanctuary to killers, gangs, rapists and thieves seeking accommodation in the one place they know they cannot be touched by the police. When a spotter blows their cover, Rama and his team must fight their way through every floor and every room not just to complete their mission … but to survive their bloody ordeal.

Also known by its original Indonesian title Serbuan maut, the film premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival last September, where it won the Midnight Madness Award. It is directed by Gareth Evans from his own screenplay. It opens in limited release in New York and Los Angeles on March 23rd, 2012, and in the UK on May 18th, 2012.
