The triplets and how i end up watching indon movie..

When was the last time i watch an indonesion movie? Very long long time ago...during the days of Barry Prima...i bet majority of the readers here never heard that name before...he is a like the chuck norris of indonesia...ok...maybe readers here still have no idea who's this dude either...maybe i should mention Jason Statham just to set the right tone...

So why i end up watching this movie? I was going to office today and saw a short clip of the movie in the bus...yes i ride bus...i'm a tree hugger...gonna write an entry about my bus riding thing..but that has nothing to do with LDR...so defeat the purpose of using the same opening title 'the triplets and how. ......."

Anywayss...the title of the movie what intrigue me...The Raid Redemption...hehehehe....get it? No???...oh welll....so i  quickly pull up my trusty IMDB app in my phone and check out the rating. I have a rule in movie watching..always watch IMDB rating above 7.0 points...lower than that score usually sucks big time...dun waste ur bandwidth downloading it. I usually just search 8.0 and above movies just to cover my basic movie needs..i think i have covered those range except for oldies movies like Casablanca or Gone with the winds...i cannot stand those kind of movies...

So after reading the synopsis and user review...i was impressed...its an indonesian movie with unknown cast and director...i dun read those professional movie reviewer..i feel they just being paid to like or hate movies...being pretentious about the plot, character development and other BS ..i would love to have their job though...

After coming back from office...i straight away search the movie...and found a copy..dun ask me how i got it...that will constitute as admission of guilt. Pls be advise, get a version with subtitles. I didn't have it...so i have to do alot of guesswork on the plot..my indonesian vocab is quite limited...compared to tok umi and LDR recently. They've been watching alot of afternoon sinetron  together with bibik...so the movie dun have much plot...just small talk...but alot of action..really2 awesome fight scene. This is like OngBak with Tony Jaa...indon version. I won't write a movie review coz IMDB have a bunch of them and it is nicely written...

I wish Malaysia can do something like this...a good action movie portraying silat...like what this movie did..we had enough of romance direct to astro movies by david teo...or horror movies with different variant of local malay ghosts and the occasional action rempit cum drift movie by the haslam clan..

So there you have it..a movie worth watching...i have to wait till R is 15yrs old to watch his movie...its brutally majestic...
