Mencuri Raden Saleh

This is the new face of indonesian movies! Actually i am not really fans of indonesian movies, but this movie really make me questions myself. The actings is really good, i love the effort from the actors doing some action and make it really cool, their expression seem so natural and make me impressed. The storyline is good, is not perfect but it's still good, there still some plothole in this movies and i hope the scriptwriter can fill it in the sequel, but it's really good, it's so rare i see some good storyline in indonesian action movies. The CGV is really amazing, it's good and felt so natural. The make up artis, they did a perfect job, but For make up after fighting, you have to add more bruises. It's really worth my 2,5 hours watched this movie. Keep the good work guys, and i hope i can hear a good news about the sequel.

This film is very good, the cast is slick and can bring us into the film by Angga Dwimas Sasongko, the action is cool but there are still many shortcomings in this film , there are lots of less important supporting characters like the guy who suddenly comes to help Sarah. Sarah's character is a tomboy but even less romantic than a piko character. But okay, I like the painting part which is really realistic and good with comedy seasoning which is enough to make me laugh it's just that sponsoring brands here is very rude and somewhat exaggerated rather annoying. It's just that smooth acting and CGI help this film

Rate: 8/10.

This film is about a male student whose father is imprisoned. This student has an excellent talent for painting, he has a close friend who is a hacker and a girlfriend who is an judo- athlete. One day Piko (the main character) was given an offer to replicate the painting of the kidnapping of Diponegoro by a famous painter, Raden Saleh for a fee of 2 M. Piko agreed, assisted by his friend Ucup, they carried out the action, on the day they gave the replica painting to the person who order it turns out that the person asked for another request which they could not refuse. Moreover, these individuals threaten the safety of Piko's father who is in prison. Piko, who was trapped, finally accepted the person's terrible request. So far this is the best indonesian movie in 2022, i didn't expect this movie will be so lit. All the actors played very well, there were no cringe scenes and the plot was really really cool. There are many plot twists, being tense, sad, laughing all those feelings got mixed up while watching this movie Although the plot seems kinda fast but I really enjoy this movie. 9/10 !!

Once in a while, an Indonesian thriller that doesn't feature Iko Uwais succeeds. This film is one of them. It might be carried by a young cast but the actors prove to be equal to the challenge of making a good action movie/thriller.

Angge Dwimas Sasongko is able to put together a heist movie that doesn't disappoint, and which, in fact, totally gets the viewer's attention. The plus factor is that the object of the heist has great historical significance for Indonesia's struggle against Dutch rule. It's, thus, a worthy object of desire.

Raden Saleh is a highly respected Javanese painter in the 19th century, who like many artists of his age who were involved in nationalistic movements, spent time in Europe. His painting, The Arrest of Prince Diponegoro, which he did in 1857, is considered as his definitive work, and reflects his deep nationalistic fervor. Diponegoro was a key figure in the Java War. He remains, to this day, a key figure in Indonesia's nationhood.

Like any respectable heist film, this has veritable twists. And the way it's carried out is believable.

Kudos to the writer and director for an admirable work aided much by a young cast that performs like veterans on the screen.

This movie was a lot better than I expected. At first I thought it would be a bit cheesy especially looking at the cast that consisted of young actors and actresses. But as I continued watching, it was surprisingly good with some smooth transition between one plot to another and a wonderful story telling with some excitement throughout the movie.

It obviously had high production value with the awesome setting, amazing fight choreography, some cool enough action sequence and especially the heist itself. There was even a trademark plot twist of such genre that was brilliantly inserted in here. With such ending, I would not mind to see a sequel should they chose to do so, even if this time the duration was probably a bit too long.

Great job from the cast and crew, in particular Angga Dwimas Sasongko as the writer and director who I believed had put in so much effort into making this as good as it is.
