As an Indonesian that anticipated this movie for a very long time since the first information released, I must say I'm quite pleased with the final results. As expected from a movie starred by Iko Uwais, blood and fast paced action scene are the main elements in this movie.
Talking about strong opening, the movie went for a solid middle part and striving for a pretty great ending. Though I must say that the plot looked a little bit similar like Kill Bill with a better way to conclude the story I must say. Still, with a great execution there's some plot hole and questionable actions that the characters made, I mean what's with the Rika character shooting randomly while she can leave unscathed? All in all though, still the good parts made up for the silly scene.
The acting itself is pretty good, although I would like to know more about the "evil" characters like Tejo and Rika. As for Iko's character, like always he played it pretty good, albeit the cringey dizzy scene. And well I must say, Chelsea is shining pretty good in here with her charm that she brought to this action-gore movie. The main antagonist himself portrayed the character pretty good and speaks English very well with no weird accent whatsoever.
All in all I give this movie a 7/10, good overall with some parts that actually can be potential but were neglected.
