Horrible fight scenes, horrible pacing, horrible story, horrible camera work, horrible dubbing, horrible propaganda. I think they spent more on bots giving this movie a good review than they did on the actual movie itself.

Indonesians Show The World That They Too Can Kick ArseAs a Malaysian, I am thoroughly in despair that my country will never be able to produce a film so beautifully raw as this. Malaysia has a censorship board that is ridiculously Orwellian; there should be no blood, no curse word, no crime - nothing to depict what the real world is. In short Malaysian Film Industry is a Feminist, Gynocentrist, Social Justice Warrior, Soyboy, cuckold excremental display. I am grateful that Indonesian film industry still have their testicles intact, and this film exhibits the raw unbridled potential of what South East Asian action movie are capable off. The action is bloody, well choreographed, well shot and totally convincing. Iko Uwais is a fantastic action star, his martial art is the real deal and you can really see it in his performance. The best scenes must be with his Karambit knife. Yayan Ruhian is also great as Mad Dog.Speaking of performances; I highly commend the director Gareth Evans for employing plain looking men for extras as well as using real locations for the shoot; it makes the film look wholly believable and immersive. Malay and Indonesian share a common root language and so, listening to the dialogue in it's native form has been enjoyable, because the acting all around is great, with every part big and small are played with urgency and intensity owing much to the language and how it is spoken. I recommend this film to anyone who loves action films.

This movie without a doubt is one of the most exhilarating and exhausting action movies I have ever watched. The action set pieces are incredible and the sheer amount of moves pulled off and blows delivered is truly remarkable. A massive kudos to all those involved behind the scenes and the actors themselves for giving such physical performances. Having said that belief does need suspended as some of the people in this film really do seem indestructible. For me some of the fight scenes towards the end did start to drag for me. It also had all the usual and predictable trappings of most action movies but guess that's hard to escape when doing this style of film. Overall a solid 6/10 and I'd probably watch it again.
