Paskal: The Movie

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.

It has a lot to offer, but the roller coaster ride between heavy rough action to mediocre family atmosphere makes the mind dizzy and your body screams for more to maintain the 10 stars you have on hand in the start of every movie.

the cast are too tough and rough according to my perfect military action hero, and the somalian pirates armed like a battle ship, flies up and around and shoots like duracel-rabbits on khat or some other steroids. the music though nourish the excitement , and i realized that i could close my eyes waiting for the big drums entering the scenes of action and suspence and thereafter close the till next round of hefty rythms starts again.

by all means, do watch the movie , its good considering being made on a 2.5 mill $ budget.

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.

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...
