Sheriff: Narko Integriti

Action packed and filled with plot twists, Sheriff: Narko Integriti will definitely put you on the edge of your seat. It has a unique storytelling, elements of mystery and suspense that keeps you engaged, and actors/actresses that played their characters very well.

The premise of this movie is not really special. We've had plenty movies revolving around cops and guns. But what makes this movie different from others is its plot and execution.

Looking at it internationally, it may seem just normal but for the local cinema it is a big improvement.

-SUMMARY (SKIP IF YOU WANT)-

This film tells the story of Nazri, a narcotics policeman who wants to end the growing syabu syndicate. The problem with bringing these perpetrators to court is that they almost always avoided punishment due to lack of evidence.

This made Nazri lose faith in the law, distorting his sense of justice and felt determined to uphold justice in his own way even if it'd violate his morals.

Then we're introduced to Sheriff from the Integrity Department who's known for fighting against corrupted cops. He was sent to the Narcotics Department to help find the infamous 'Meth Killer' which happens to be revealed as an inside man.

At this point we may have already know who the 'Meth Killer' is (or do we?) but we don't know how he will be caught. What will the 'Meth Killer' do now that Sheriff is getting closer? How will he operate his killings without getting caught? Will this be a game of chess? Who exactly is the 'Meth Killer'?

In this period, narcotics operations have also failed many times. Are there traitors inside narcotics? Are they working with the 'Meth Killer'?

This movie had a way of misguiding you to answers that you may think is right, but it's actually left. Always reminding you that you should trust no one.

-SUMMARY END-

There's a lot of positives for this movie but in my personal opinion, it's not a masterpiece yet. It's close though and it has all the ingredients to reach there.

What I can say for certain is that this is Syafiq Yusof's best work that I have ever watched. Exceeded my original expectations which wasn't really high but also wasn't really low either.

That aside, this movie still has room for improvements. Here's what I can think of quickly:

1. The 'Meth Killer' Mystery

While I do understand that it was the director's intention to use 'howcatchem' and not 'whodunnit', but I still would've preferred if it was not revealed early. I love it when movies make us doubt our answers and I love it when I got it right.

If the movie focuses only on finding the 'Meth Killer' and expands the story from there, I probably wouldn't complain about making it a 'howcatchem' story. That would be good and engaging too.

2. Character Background

There are many culprits in this movie like traitors, "rats" and murderers. But there are some characters whose writing was not developed or explored enough for the audience to build an emotional connection. When plot twists happened, it's hard to feel the impact and shock.

3. Lack Emotions

I'm probably alone in this but there are scenes that I feel it supposedly is emotional, but as I watched it I failed to capture the emotions conveyed. I didn't manage to cry but my tears almost went down though. Scenes like the one where Sheriff reminisced his childhood memory made me emotional too.

4. Sheriff Third Act

At the beginning of the third act, Sheriff's character presence felt missing. At this stage of the movie I was expecting some mad genius move from Sheriff that maybe shows how he outsmart his enemies. But I unfortunately didn't see much. He did get the spotlight back in the end though.

I actually really like this Sheriff dude. But I'm not quite satisfied with his development and depth. I need to know more about this character. I want to know his background in depth. How he forms his sense of justice despite his past. His name is literally the movie.

I have more to say but it's hard to share without spoiling the story. So maybe later.

Anyways, well done to the director, Syafiq Yusof and all the crew. Lots of improvements on the quality of writing and execution. We need more quality local movies like this.

It's time that we stop insulting the intellectuals of our local people by feeding them with poor quality movies.

Sheriff is a fairly promising crime action film. This film raises themes such as power, lies, and corruption. The story in this film is actually good and a bit like films of a similar genre, but for some reason the writing is too over. The action shown in the film is good, starting from the fights to the shootings are quite exciting. The mystery drama in this film actually also adds to the excitement of this film, unfortunately when it enters the final act, it seems like too many things happen in the final minutes of the film. Although there are many plot twists at the end of the film, the killer has been revealed from the beginning, which actually could have been the biggest plot twist in this film. And in this film, the character approach is lacking even though we already know what their background is like. This film does seem to want to be a slow burn film, but there are many scenes that don't need to be included just to extend the duration of the film. In terms of cinematography, it's okay, but many scenes look too exaggerated, especially since there are also many unimportant slow-mo scenes. The special effects in this film look clean and real. The music is okay, standard for most action films. For the acting, many are not stiff, but sometimes the expressions are too over. Overall, this film is not that bad for a Malaysian film.

Sheriff Narko Integriti

Directed by Syafiq Yusof, "Sheriff Narko Integriti" immerses audiences in a city besieged by the insidious grip of drug trafficking and vigilante killings by the notorious Meth Killer. Sheriff, a seasoned officer from the Integrity Department, finds himself thrust into a perilous mission to dismantle a powerful drug syndicate led by the notorious Tony. However, his suspicions are aroused when he believes Nazri, a young police officer from the Narcotics Department, could be the Meth Killer, making life difficult for him as he tries to uncover the truth.

Zul Ariffin delivers a compelling portrayal as Sheriff, a man fueled by an unyielding dedication to upholding the law. His steadfast commitment to integrity guides him through the murky waters of law enforcement, even as his suspicions cloud his judgment. His interactions with Nazri, portrayed with intensity by Syafiq Kyle, add layers of tension and complexity to the narrative as Sheriff grapples with the possibility of betrayal within his own ranks.

At the heart of their investigation lies Tony, portrayed with chilling menace by Aaron Aziz, a cunning kingpin whose empire of crime casts a long shadow over the city. As Sheriff delves deeper into Tony's world, he uncovers a labyrinth of deception and betrayal that threatens to consume him. Yet, his quest for justice is further complicated by the presence of the enigmatic Meth Killer, whose brutal methods leave a trail of chaos in his wake.

Adding to the complexity is Azira Shafinaz as ASP Syazlin, a women narco police officer and sister of Nazri, who brings depth to her portrayal as she grapples with her loyalty to her family and her duty as a law enforcement officer.

Elizabeth Tan shines as Jennifer Wong, a special force in the integrity department and assistant to Sheriff. However, suspicions arise as her allegiance seems to waver, potentially acting as an informant to Tony, adding another layer of intrigue to the storyline.

Yusof's direction keeps the tension taut throughout, expertly weaving elements of suspense, action, and drama to keep audiences on the edge of their seats. Each twist and turn in the plot propels the narrative forward, building towards a gripping climax that will leave viewers breathless.

The ensemble cast delivers standout performances, breathing life into the complex characters, adding layers of nuance to their motivations and struggles.

In the end, "Sheriff Narko Integriti" transcends the confines of the crime thriller genre, offering a thought-provoking exploration of justice, redemption, and the human condition. As Sheriff navigates the challenges before him, he stands as a beacon of integrity in a world shrouded in darkness.

Just managed to catch this yesterday on Netflix. 20 minutes into the movie and I noticed something familiar. Serial killer and his sister works for the police force. He kills only bad guys, in this case drug related ones, a police colleague suspects him as the killer and desperately looking for evidence and waiting for him to slip up and......plastic sheets. One of the props Dexter uses for his kills.

But this Malay Dexter is hot tempered and Sheriff is the cool one instead. All in all, this movie has a good production value. Good acting by leads. I would recommend this movie if you like Polis Evo minus the comic relief.
