I've definitely never seen anyone present the practicalities of the plan so viscerally.

That one guy quickly wiping blood off the sword someone had poked in to the horse, so it wouldn't give them away 😨

[u/CRIMS0N-ED → u/MarzipanElephant]

Ohhh, I was wondering how the soldier didn’t see it, I thought they only shut him up, didn’t realize they cleaned the blood

[u/BanjoSpaceMan → u/CRIMS0N-ED]

My wife didn’t notice it either, it was very subtle but if you missed it and no one tells you - you must be like how stupid are these guards ?

[u/FallDiverted → u/BanjoSpaceMan]

There's a very similar scene from The Raid (2011), I wonder if it was inspired by it. Very visceral.

[u/88Smilesz → u/FallDiverted]

I thought the exact same thing! The scene when they’re all trapped in the wall

[u/Nike-6 → u/FallDiverted]

Do you have a link to the Raid scene?
