Oppa

The movie delivers a powerful message about love scams, urging the public to stay vigilant, think smart, and remain alert at all times. With scam cases in Malaysia rising rapidly, it's difficult to predict the scammers' latest tactics. However, by staying informed and cautious, we can protect ourselves. As Malaysia's first film addressing scams, it successfully raises awareness and broadens understanding of the various methods used by scammers. Watching it has sharpened my awareness and reminded me to always be cautious of strangers. Hopefully, more films like this will be produced in the future to educate and remind the publics.

Oppa is a gripping Malaysian film that explores the dangers of online love scams, inspired by real-life cases.

Directed by the talented Captain Denil and featuring upcoming Korean star Tae Oh Jang, the story follows a Malaysian woman who falls for a charming South Korean man, only to realize she's been deceived by a fraud syndicate.

Produced in collaboration with the Royal Malaysian Police, the film balances suspense with a strong social message. With authentic performances and a multicultural touch, Oppa is an impactful and timely warning against online deception.

In conclusion, Oppa is more than just a movie-it's a public service wrapped in an engaging story. It educates, entertains, and reminds viewers of the potential pitfalls of online relationships. With strong performances, an engaging plot, and a powerful social message, Oppa is a must-watch for anyone interested in meaningful cinema. It's a brave and commendable effort by Malaysian filmmakers to use the power of cinema to make a difference in society.

I like that it shows the secret tactics scammers use to cheat money off women. The journey and traumatic effects on the victim is well represented (as my friend has been cheated the same way previously)

Areas of improvements are the sound mixing could be better (was too loud) but I'm nitpicking as the volume could have been adjusted in the cinema controls. The actors' acting are quite exaggerated but I suppose it's intentional to make it obvious to bring the point across to all ages.

In summary, I believe everyone should watch this at least once, regardless of age and gender. It serves as a good reminder, strong awareness and warning to prevent us from falling into such schemes.

TLDR: Must watch as soon as possible (despite volume too loud in cinemas)

Content-wise, this film arrived at the right moment. With scams becoming more prevalent, and more sophisticated, Oppa is a film that shows how a teacher can also fall prey to the advances of scammers.

I am glad that the movie involved the Royal Malaysia Police, which shows how the police carry out their operations. The Director was skillful in putting together scenes carried out by real-life policemen and actors.

Perhaps the mixing of sounds could have been done better, as it felt jarring to me at the beginning. Nevertheless it improved midway, and I was able to immerse in the storyline subsequently. The twist at the end kept me on edge, and overall, it's a film worth watching.

This local film is highly recommended for audiences of all ages. The story is captivating, especially the plot where the female lead is deceived by a love scammer. Love can cloud judgment, leading people to sacrifice everything. The villain's schemes are unpredictable. The main actor THEO JANG is very suitable for this movie. The real OPPA from Korean!

Additionally, the film features multiple languages, including Malay, Mandarin, Hindi, and Korean, adding cultural diversity to the movie. Moreover, the police officers in the film are actual Royal Police officers, very handsome. Nice local movie.
