13 Bom di Jakarta

This is my dissapointment about this movie. First, this movie didn't have good introduction at all... And the motivation of the characters are not that strong.

For a 2 hours long, this movie couldn't make a great character development, and I think its because in here there are too many unimportant character, I'm even confused till the end who exactly the main protagonist was...

Sorry, but Angga Dwimas missed the opportunity to make this as good as his previous movie (Stealing Raden Saleh). In this movie Angga is seems to be bound with cryptocurrency message.

If you watch the trailer, you will see how exiting it was in that 2 minutes... But the whole movie? Its the opposite of watching the trailer. I skip many unnecessary dialogues and some moment in here...

The premise of the bad guys is a stretch. The length of the movie is equally a stretch. After a while it looses its interest but if you get ½ in you stay in the hopes it gets better. Maybe streaming this on fast forward would have helped. The good guys in the movie are annoying and distract from this every getting to be worthwhile. If you like shoot the up's and body count you may like this movie. The premises of the bad guys is a major stretch. After suffering through 2 ½ hours you will need to get up and stretch. This is not one movie you will want to see for a second time. Next time, I will read the reviews as there can not be that many that like this. I am being kind with a 5/10 rating.

Sometimes, everyone just needs a mindless action movie, grab a giant bucket of popcorn, and watch things blow up-now is one of those times. 13 Bombs di Jakarta is a huge spectacle with gut-punching excitement. The production value is top-notch, featuring impressive sets, props, costumes, solid special effects, and decent action choreography. The music score is also well done. As for originality in the script? Not so much. The plot doesn't offer anything new; it feels like a mix of Hollywood blockbuster clichés-somewhat ridiculous, mostly eye-popping, and a touch sentimental. The director delivers on action, explosions, wise-cracking heroes, and badass villains. The action scenes are well-executed with good pacing and thrills. If you're willing to check your brain at the door, this movie makes your time and money worthwhile. If you're after tons of explosions, shootouts, fires, and car chases, this film is right up your alley.

I'm a fan of a good, detailed and compelling action movie, this one has hit the mark for me.

1. Indonesian action films has been improved SO MUCH in the last few years, i know it all started from The Raid, which was technically still directed by a western director, but now this movie is directed by a local and the production, set pieces, and environment looks alive, detailed and functional, the props are realistic, the guns looks great (noticed some flashy new SIG MCX Virtuses there)

2. The VFX are nice, much better than previous indo films, so i'm quite impressed with the quality, it doesnt look out of place and is well blended with the environment, noticed some practical effects as well

3. I like the new bitcoin aspect and the two startup founders, it makes the dynamic more unique and add additional tension to the usual Good Cop and Bad Cop shenanigans.

Though i have to say several drawbacks:

1. The sound, the dialogues are nicely mixed with the ambience and music, however the gun sounds leave much to be desired, it lacked the environmental interaction usually heard with gunshots, like indoor and outdoor should sound different, it lacked the tail and echo while indoor, and some of the fighting sounds are not that good

2. Firearms technique, i noticed how Arok reloaded his AR, he tapped the bolt catch and there's a sound of bolt releasing, but i saw the bolt didnt move, rather, it stayed closed the whole time instead of releasing.

3. The camerawork during fighting looks a bit too close, the way we can't see all the details from the fight.

They made a wonderful film.. I actually seen only few Indonesian movies so far especially action genre movies.

Its quite good and few action sequences are feel little bit weird am typically mentioning gun fights scene..its out of sync with each ends other then the movie is so good choice for one time watchable. There actors and actress in the movie good not good as Hollywood but this guys done it well.

Only one twist is in the flim.

Fist fights are good need to improve lot but they made a tough movie.

In few years they become tougher

One time watchable.

Good time pass.

A mass Entertaining.
