The mission is intended to be a stealthy extraction, but the team is spotted early on. Tama seals the exits and announces a bounty on the officers' heads.

The REMASTERED BluRay (typically released by Sony Pictures Home Entertainment in select regions around 2016-2018) addressed these issues head-on:

In the pantheon of 21st-century action cinema, few films have landed with the bone-shattering impact of Gareth Evans’ 2011 Indonesian masterpiece, The Raid: Redemption (originally titled Serbuan maut). For over a decade, its relentless choreography and brutal efficiency have set the gold standard for hand-to-hand combat on film. But for home theater enthusiasts and action purists, the hunt for the definitive viewing experience often leads to one specific format: The Raid - Redemption - 2011 - REMASTERED BluRay.
