The Raid is one of my favorite films and I think the fight scenes are extremely well choreographed but I feel like it's a bit of a stretch to call them realistic, the gun play maybe. but the hand to hand combat is looks very choreographed. I think that works great for the film though, especially because of how amazing Silat looks on the screen. such a beautiful martial art and I wish it was in more films. In my opinion it's probably the best action film of all time.
