Review of Merantau (2009) by Adam L — 16 Mar 2010
Great debut martial arts picture from Indonesia focusing on the Seni Gayong style of Silat Harimau. This kid really is a young Tony Jaa in the making and whilst the action may not quite live up to the very high bar set by Tony Jaa's excessive skills, the fighting on display here feels all the more realistic for it and is very impressive.
One for the martial arts fan for sure and I hope not the last we've seen of young Iko Uwais. Recommended.
