Review of Merantau (2009) by Andrew L — 30 Mar 2012
It's a shame that I waited so long before I finally watch this movie. If not for The Raid that broke my skepticism.
Well it's a great movie. It can satisfy both my thirst for artificial blood and my sentimental side. Compared with The Raid (you know it's inevitable), the action is less mindblowing but it has a real story. I don't know if it's because I've seen Yayan "Mad Dog" in The Raid, but Yayan's lift scene is bloody epic (I got teary eyed dammit).
My biggest complaints: too much cliche especially from climax to ending, and Sisca Jessica didn't perform very well.
