Paskal: The Movie

Definitely this movie set a new standard for Malaysian movie scene.

Acting could be better by a bit, and wish more twist and turn for movie plot - on not the based on true story scene.

Anyway, it does leave me feel proud and motivated. Hopefully more movie like this being produced in the future.

This would be 8/10 from me.

A very good action flick based on true events,Didn't go into this thinking of how well made this film was,I was surprise at the level of expertise that went into this particular rescue mission, I focused on the pacing of the film, it moved along quite well, as far as character development or lack there of was unimportant to me, I got what I was looking for an entertaining film, I have a lot of respect to all soldiers who sacrificed their lives to protect us all ,the film displayed a segment of that with this incident, way better than Triple frontier...IMO.

This is a movie that from a military point of view is very, very well done. Yes, some of the characters are a bit wooden and the general characterization was not exactly great - but the film is clearly intended as a propaganda/recruiting piece, so the cheesiness of that part is really no surprise.

Apparently if one is Malay, this movie is a 10. Otherwise it plays out like a 1970 TV movie. At the bowie knife fight I gave up. I cannot recommend if you are used to higher quality fare, it is clear that team Malay voted this way up... yet this is substandard otherwise.

A very high standard for Malaysian action/war movie full with action plus a very touching family drama... A must watch action/war movie for this year 2018...
