Attention Hong Kong! Win tickets to see THE RAID: REDEMPTION before it hits theatres!

James Marsh, Asian Editor

Regular readers might have noticed that here at Twitch we have a dizzying amount of love and affection for Gareth Evans and his mind-blowing, bone-crunching, head-kicking Indonesian action spectacular, The Raid: Redemption. The film stars Iko Uwais, Joe Taslim and Yayan Ruhian and follows a Police Tactical Unit as they lay siege to a rundown Jakarta apartment building run by a vicious drug lord and populated by an army of deadly foot soldiers. Featuring incredible scenes of gunplay and some of the most jaw-dropping martial arts sequences in recent memory, all set to a thumping new score from Linkin Park's Mike Shinoda, The Raid: Redemption has drawn comparisons to the likes of Die Hard and Hard Boiled and is being championed as the year's best action film!

While The Raid: Redemption doesn't officially open in Hong Kong until 14 June, those generous folks at Sundream Motion Pictures have given us 5 pairs of tickets to give away to our local readers for a special preview screening on the night of 14 May. In order to stand a chance of winning a pair of tickets to the Asian Action Movie event of the year, here's what you need to do:

Simply answer the following question correctly and Tweet your answer to @Twitchfilm, using the hashtag #TheRaidHK. Winners will be chosen at random on Friday 11 May and informed via Twitter.

Question: Director Gareth Evans and star Iko Uwais previously collaborated on which film?

Good luck - and see you at The Raid: Redemption!

Destroy All Monsters: Leo DiCaprio and the Myth of the Chick Flick
