John Wick, Indonesian style without the budget but same body count. However, this is and will never be as good as The Raid (1 & 2), but it helps passing the time. It's just "clean" fun.

If you like a Scott adkins style movie and just want a bit of Arnie/Stallone style in Asia.... Just go for it..have some snacks and it'll leave you ready for a nap or your main event...Bigger budgets don't even relay some of the messages in this and I'll definitely watch a worse part 2 if there is one.....main actor needs more roles for sure...

An entertaining action film, starting after the first 30 min. Before that there's not much going on, just some nice island shots and rather uninteresting scenes that are supposed to serve as some sort of introduction for the "heros" later motives, I suppose.

But then the real "story" (very basic) kicks in and along with it the action. Quite a couple of brutal knife killings and shootouts from there.

Some compare it to brilliant The Raid films as I read, but that's nonsense. While the knife action might be similar in brutality, the fight scenes are not not as many and they surely are not as well choreographed, definitely no Iko Uwais skills here. The takeouts are executed quickly and with lots of blood, tho.

Pretty entertaining, if you like a high bodycount.

Indonesia action movie 👍, Good set in pulau seribu

Very law budget but cinematography has tried to cover up and make it not feel like that low budget,

This is watchable because of. Paul O'Brien who has very strong screen presence and demand your attention , he did a good job for a role of a guy who speak less and can be very lethal.

Corey Pearson direction is good and so are action scenes which are driven by strong emotions so as a viewer you feel impact.

Do not compare this with other VoD garbage, it seems they really wanted to make good movie with limited budget they had.

Give it a shot on Saturday noon or lazy rainy day.
