One Two Jaga

Corruption as it finest. The sruggle between what is good and what is wrong is so intense and can lead to any possibilities.

Or is it or? Well whatever the case this is a nice little independent movie, that deals with small town (village?) criminals. The movie has a lot of characters and if you are not used to watching movies from Asia in general, you may get confused. A lot of story, a lot of people, so a second viewing may have to take place for you to get all of it.

Don't feel bad about that, try to cherish it rather. The movie is short and goes by quite quickly. More than decent with enough action to keep you on the edge of your seat too. If you have a heart for small budget movies that seem to have filmmakers with passion at the helm you could do worse

This gritty and honest depiction of immigrants and police corruption is new to me, at least for Malaysian cinema standards.

Most importantly, the movie is honest since it covers what was happening in Malaysia and it still happens until now.

Good acting. Good storyline. I love the realness of the atmosphere in this movie.

Good try for Malaysian film. Hope more to come.

I watched this movie last night and found it a surprisingly very honest portrayal of things that are not highlighted in Malaysia. Things that normally are quickly swept under the carpet like police corruption, illegal bodies disposal, fights where the authorities are not heroic and lose and daily money issues that compromise the work done by law enforcers as they eke out their living. This movie does not go too far in it's realism with annoying and highly obvious bleeping of some dialogue and blurring of certain visuals showing the heavy hand of the official censorship board marring the quality throughout. Aside from the off line censoring it was also clear that the bad cops were not allowed to don their official uniforms and the audience only saw cops in uniform at the very end when the good guys went into action nabbing their corrupt colleagues. The action was good and the storyline kept my rapt attention throughout without a moment of checking the time. A very positive sign of better things to come and certainly worth the admission price.
