Well, I'm impressed. Great job to the film makers and everyone involved.
The cinematography, soundtrack, fighting scenes are on Hollywood class. If the actors doesn't speak in Bahasa Indonesia, I wouldn't know that it is an Indonesian movie.
Still, there are a few plot holes, but I'm gonna let it pass :)

Splendid! The story is great, the actor/actress do a very good job, the visual, the sound effect, everything is great. Well done Mike Wiluan!
This movie combine the history of colonialism in Indonesia and the western cowboys. Although this movie is just a fantasy,the look presented is actually realistic.

If you expect action you'll get it in this movie. the storyline ain't that heavy or original but a decent action for ASEAN markets. skip this movie if you don't like indonesian speaking cowboys or don't know where's Indonesia is on a map.
I saw strong influences of Kurosawa in this film, with overtones of Peckinpah. The mix works surprisingly well.
Unfortunately the guys in the lead roles were not really up to the task. I realize that as acting styles vary in other countries, but these guys lacked credibility. Perhaps the echoes of Kurosawa had me looking for a Mifune.
The romantic substory seemed extraneous and forced.

Ok so some of the plot is predictable and I would prefer not to have to read subtitles but this is a very interesting and enjoyable movie. Everyone has an opinion but some of the narrow-minded, ignorant, one star ratings on here are ridiculous. Is it an American movie? No of course not but it is worth watching.
