Teka Teki Tika

Yes it entertaining, but the film is so not like ernest that who make it, its like, the film lost ernest touch.

I know its the first time, but i am so disappointent and my be if he want to try make another mystery movie. I will not miss and stil try to watch. Cause i know first its always not the best

three word to this film is : ooo just like that, bad fighting scene, and the plot is not really good enought. Especially the plot twist its just badd :( sorry for the bad critic.

This film seems to have an identity crisis. It cannot determine what genre it will lead to. If you only read the synopsis, you would definitely think that this film will have a thriller or at least a mystery genre. However, the reality is that the thriller or mystery is not felt in the film at all. The repeated plot twists actually feel too exaggerated amd make the story seem absurd.

(Film ini seolah mengalami krisis identitas, karena tidak bisa menentukan akan mengarah ke genre apa. Thriller dan misteri yang disuguhkan pada sinopsis sama sekali tidak terasa dalam film. Plot twist yang bertubi-tubi justru terasa terlalu berlebihan sehingga membuat ceritanya terkesan absurd)

Not twisting, predictable, characters all boring, even Sheila Dara's role is very unnatural. But it's a good start since crime genre is still rare in Indonesia.

After watching it, I found it surprisingly enjoyable, though I couldn't help but laugh at its ending. The same goes for this mystery(?) film. Reviews from JAFF audiences were mixed, with most being negative. Despite my skepticism, I decided to watch it and brought my parents along, since they enjoyed Ernest's previous work, Imperfect. Here's what I thought after watching it:

The first 70 minutes, or the "prologue" of the film, were decent. By decent, I mean it was fairly watchable. The premise was interesting and engaging. The casting of the Budiman "Cindo" family was convincing, though I only really enjoyed Dion Wiyoko's performance (Tansri Kemala was acceptable for her acting debut). I also appreciated the interior design and cinematography. Notably, the film's comedy stood out, as Ernest is known for his skillful blend of humor in any situation.

However, the main issue lies in the film's logic. There were numerous questionable elements. For instance, why are the characters so distressed about paying a "blackmailer" 100 million rupiah when their house is likely worth tens of billions? To them, 100 million might be as insignificant as buying ayam geprek for us. Additionally, it's hard to believe that Ayu Laksmi is the only person handling housekeeping for such a large house.

One of Ernest Prakasa's disappointing films. This was Ernest's first time working on a detective-themed film, but unfortunately ended in an identity crisis. The genre is mixed between comedy, thriller, and mystery, there is also action at the last minute. The comedy that is thrown is not funny and doesn't fit the scene that should be serious. The plot that was prepared was also packaged as if it was a very plot twist, but what happened was forced. Too many clues are revealed at the end and don't make sense. The scene after the completion also suddenly jumps to the identity of the main character and then a new case appears without being revealed. But it's a shame that the chosen cast is quite well-known and top-notch, with supporting interiors and properties.
