Wira

I purposely created this IMDB account just for the sole purpose to let everyone know how excited I was with this movie. I am still quite unhappy about the box office being slightly low than the budget spent for this movie. Long story short, all Malaysians should watch this movie because it's offering a whole fresh perspective of what Malaysian film industry can achieve and SHOULD achieve.

Plot is fairly okay, although slightly expected but it's different from what usually Malay movies have to offer. I really despise the low standard of taste of the majority here. For once, there's no stupid, cringy, unfunny nor controversial remarks in this movie. Just subtle chuckle here and there just enough as an added spice to the cooking. I just wanted to write how I appreciated this movie has game up the industry in Malaysia whether it's from art direction perspective, cinematography, the lighting, post VFX, and last but not least, the fighting choreography (although it's done by Yayan; the indonesian martial artist) I can assure you that every cent spent on him is worth it.

Looking forward to the next sequel seeing that the ending is hinting something.

The fight choreography is gorgeous. Hairul Azreen and Fify Azmi are great as the brother-sister kickass duo. Downside is that dialogue is a bit cheesy and weird in some places. Raja especially switches randomly between BM and English in a very unnatural way. I like Zain as a strong female character although her opposite number (Raja's daughter) seems more like a two-dimensional spoilt princess. The ending involves a personal sacrifice that seems a bit pointless. But overall it's a good watch.

The action is good, because they use Yayan Ruhian choreography. So, if you have watched The Raid, Night Come for Us & Headshot, you will be familiar with all the fighting scene. The cons is, it is less violent. Story is quite good too, I can say decent. The bad thing is the acting of Raja's character. Raja is the supervillain in this movie but his acting is so meh.... If they use the right actor for that main role. This movie will be better.

This one I shall call overrated, because it just pure action, it did contain hidden messages, but not realistically accurate.

It's just Malay Vs Malay and then suddenly the Chinese friend help him is just ridiculous, I mean we did have that but realistically we don't really, especially someone living from poverty in the flats, almost no one will help.

Overall this movie is just good in action, but moral realistically, it doesn't, Chinese became a middle man involved is something unrealistic and fake (unless any of you had a loyal chinese friend, I'll exclude that)

By the ratings I shall give a generous amount of 4/10.
