Laikals The greatest movie ever made..!

Holstra Boring, long, and too preachy.

Catangro After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

Adeel Hail Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

Geri71 I was reading the reviews and decided to watch this movie. I won't give you the details as I don't wish to spoil it for you viewers. This movie exceeded my expectation and more. What a great story line along with all the actions and violence. I must say, you must have the stomach to watch this movie. I love these Asians films as they are so much more extreme than the American films. The movie was awesome with a twist of an ending.

Paul Magne Haakonsen The synopsis of this Japanese and Indonesian collaboration did have my interest grabbed, and I was somewhat excited to sit down and watch the movie. However, I had set the movie up on a pedestal of sorts, because it didn't impress me one bit, and I found it to be just a very mundane and mediocre movie at best.The story is about two very different men, one in Japan and one in Indonesia, whom meet on a disturbing site that posts real videos depicting the moments of death of mutilated victims. While far apart, the two men have something in common; they are both killers. One kills simply out of sadistic pleasure and the other kills for a perverted sense of justice.Right, well the story was good at certain aspects, but at other aspects it was just a muddled mess which made very little logic or sense.What worked out for the movie was the acting, as the two main talents Kazuki Kitamura (playing Nomura) and Oka Antara (playing Bayu) really pulled their weight throughout the movie with their individual performances.The effects were also working well in favor of the movie. And there is a fair amount of brutality and gruesomeness throughout the movie, so take that into consideration if you are easily offended by visual violence.However, the movie just had very little entertainment value, aside from showing some brutal and deranged murder scenes. The storyline was just not functioning on a grander level. It was as if I was watching two different movies; one taking place in Japan and one in Indonesia. And directors Kimo Stamboel and Timo Tjahjanto (known as The Mo Brothers) were not really successful in trying to intermingle and merge the two story lines into a coherent and fulfilling movie.I found the overall result of the movie to be a tepid and mediocre one, and as such then I am rating it five out of ten stars.

Bugs_Bundy ----------------------- NO SPOILERS AT ALL ----------------------I've just finished watching. Surely, at the very first, i have to admit, that i am stunned in every way possible. Although i expected not that much of it at all. But, that was swayed by all the fuc**d up reviews i read. They said, the movie is slow, hard to watch, absolutely predictable, bla bla bla and especially etc. The best for this film to be loved by you, is to have that special interest for ALL kinds of Psycho - Movies, in any kind, and especially that sweet special interest for stunning character-developments. (i would name a few of the many examples, that it refers to as tribute, but, sadly, it would spoil too much of the story-line) Everything is told, through two truly extraordinary actors. Both of them are taking everything of their act to the maximum .... Without taking the reality felt, away from it. Different, realistic, bad spirited and still.... with a real good piece of heart. And if it comes down to the perfectly paced soundtrack, also, all my wishes were fulfilled. So, for me, i really can not agree with these reviews i have read quite recently.But, and this is for sure, i can not recommend this movie to anyone. It is quite violent indeed. Definitely not soothing to the softly-minded or -hearted. So please, anyone that got that hard stomach to take this kind of film......HERE IS OUR NEW MASTERPIECE--- Which is, honestly, the best Homage, to so many great movies i love, movies that are done by people, loving what they are doing, loving the source of their drive. And out of that, combine them, and make something new with it. While through this, repeated said, it is a good movie for someone, but a Masterpiece for the right ones.Thank you for reading this very subjective Review.Sincerely your'sBugs Bundy

merryhockway this is not a bad movie at all,but it has too much flaws to be a great movie. when i first see the movie backdrop,it sounds very bloody and macabre-ish,but it turns out wrong. this movie is too violent and bloody for mainstream audiences,but too soft for slasher hardcore fan. its like somewhere in the middle. i think mo brothers wanted to disturb the audience by its story rather than the killing scene itself. to me its like a drama movie with serial murder spice in it. don't get it wrong,its good and refreshing since I've never seen things like this in local box office and pretty rare in Hollywood,but Mo Brother failed to hold the tension,this movie gives you a good chills and fun discussion after watching it but obviously far less powerful than Snowtown, (an Australian serial-murder drama,most disturbing movie I've ever seen). i think k.kitamura and o antara saved this movie,their acting skill is top notch and the major high light in this movie!,and im glad im gonna watch this duo again in the raid 2! :D
