Foxtrot Six

The storyline is solid but somewhat predictable and convoluted. The dialogue is a bit tacky and forced. The characters could have been more developed, and the film gets over-dramatic at times. But the visual and special effects are surprisingly decent, the invisible cloak and the ironman-like suit are amazing, the futuristic sets/props are fantastic as well. The acting is good, the score is all right but overbearing at times, the cinematography is a standout. Not bad for an Indonesian action-adventure flick.

Action 7/10 Special effects 8/10 Story 1/10 Typical of Indonesian's action movie, only contain action & action & action, without good story

...this is amateur/newb producer, writer and director Randy Korompis' first film ever! Stellar production with outstanding cinematography, and directing better than some seasoned pro filmmakers films I've seen lately. Excellent casting and performances, and I'm happy it was made in English. The S/VFX were Hollywood blockbuster quality. Film length and pacing were spot on. The score was a little overbearing in some scenes, and the writing had some plot and technical issues, but nevertheless, shocked at how great this film was coming from a new filmmaker! Mad props and respect to Randy Korompis. A well deserved 8/10 from me

There is a global food shortage. Indonesian president Indra vows to solve the problem. A secret cabal intends to launch a coup. Angga learns the true ruthlessness of the plan while discovering his ex has founded an underground group.

This is a mess. I don't know anything about writer/director Randy Korompis but he seems to be a newbie. It shows. I was hoping for Raid. Maybe it could be Netflix level action. The story telling is jagged. Suddenly, an invisible cloak turns this into a superhero movie for a minute. It tries to be a thriller but the writing is a muddle. I am willing to give this points for looking pretty good. The camera work actually looks competent. Obviously, this is trying to get into the English market. Korompis jams a lot of different Hollywood movies together. I would suggest that he gets some help to write his next movie.

Movie is very flashy, although the CGI is not consistent (very well done in some scenes, looked like a B movie in a lot of scenes). Minimal character background and development, making it hard to get invested with the plot. The movie just rolls along, with barely any backstory for a lot of things thus not showing the reasoning and what really motivates the actions of a few characters. Plot points and characters were introduced as the movie progressed, but they were left out completely towards the end, and we can only guess what happened. The english was average at best, some actors spoke very clearly while others were mumbling (especially the main character, dunno if this was done on purpose or not). A lot cheesy lines and subpar delivery, making me laugh when it wasn't supposed to be funny. Action scenes were nice and well executed. The Raid 2 is still a much better movie in my opinion, with better plot and character development and very well executed action scenes with practical effects. Overall this movie is an okay attempt to be like a hollywood action movie, but still has a lot of room to improve, especially the writing. This movie is probably doing well in Indonesia (people were clapping at the end of the movie, I have no idea why, other than maybe feeling patriotic), but I don't think this would fare well internationally. Just my two cents.
