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.
I love westerns, but this was unbearable. Three men just watch as everyone is brutalized, oppressed, raped, killed, beaten, beheaded, hung and tortured. They do everything wrong or just nothing at all. 3/4 of the characters have many chances to end the bad guy yet none even try. Painful to watch. Been watching westerns for over 50 years, this is in my bottom ten. Poor script, poor acting, and predictable.
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 :)

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.

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.
