Gareth Huw Evans does not look like the type of guy who has directed an awesome Indonesian action movie. For one, he’s Welsh. On top of that, he’s a giggly tall man with proud roots as an action fanboy, especially for the films of John Woo.

Evans’ third feature film The Raid: Redemption tells the action-packed tale of a Swat team that becomes trapped in a villain-filled apartment complex they originally expect to walk in and out of. The film uses the martial arts styling of Pencak Silat, and features Evans’ second film with Silat champion Iko Uwais. Already set for two sequels and an American remake, The Raid: Redemption is a monumental moment for the action movie genre.

I sat down with Evans to discuss the reception of the film, how scenes came together on-set, and what movie really excites him as a true action fanboy.
