Currently on Netflix, this Indonesian martial arts epic has a lot of people who worked on The Raid movies. The whole film feels like they watched the films they have made up to now and decided there wasn't enough violence. As a result we get a film that's part martial arts flick and part splatter movie with levels of violence on display that would make the story of ricky feel restrained. People lose limbs, get limbs carved off, repeatedly stabbed, shot and inventively mutilated in bone crunching fight scenes. The violence is dialled up to 11 and then some.This films strength lays in the fact its probably the most hardcore, no nonsense martial arts flick you will see this year (possibly of the last decade or so in fact) and best of all if you have netflix you can watch it right now.
Do that.
Seriously its incredible. | Noted then!!
