Monkey Man that came out last year. I would say it's fight scenes are very similar to the raid movies in how realistic they seem and feel plus pacing and crazy things they do. Though unfortunately/fortunately the action scenes are only 1/4 of the movie instead of 3/4, surrounded by a great story. I loved it

MODERATORS
The raid 1 and 2 are pretty awesome if I remember correctly.
Both have awesome fighting choreography. They are on my top 10 (if not top 5) of martial arts movies.
And the camerawork is great too. In one of the movies they dressed a camera operator as a carseat to get a flowing transition into the car without CGI.
Edit:
I didn't know that. That's real cool!
Thanks for sharing.
No problem. Do you mind sharing your top 10 martial arts films?
Everything, Everywhere, All at Once has some fun fight scenes, especially if you enjoy less traditional ones like Shaolin Soccer's.
I see you placed a10 year limit on your movies, thus disqualifying my suggestion The Forbidden Kingdom. First on-screen fight between Jet Li and Jackie Chan.
It is a good one indeed, can't believe it's older than 10 years
Yeah, had to look before posting. It's old enough to drive now..!
Huge caveat on this one, as I don't actually remember much of the movie, but the residual impression I have of 2019's Triple Threat was that it was a good time. Pretty stellar cast, too. Tony Jaa, Iko Uwais, Scott Adkins, and Michael Jai White are the most notable, though I'm sure the other players present have mountains of stunt / fight experience to their names.
Everything, Everywhere, All At Once is an absolute gem.
The Night Comes For Us (2018)
Not much of a story but the action choreography is top notch.
The final fight of Julie Estelle's Operator character is my favourite in recent times.
