an unsuccessfully told story of an Iban Warrior

This movie could have been better. Characters in the movie did not have proper introductions. While watching, i didn't know who any of the characters were except for Kanang. Using the likes of Johan Ashari and Adi Putra ( well played by the way ) but never fully utilising their talent or even introducing their characters in the movie is like a slap in the face. Like MOST Malaysian movies, it seems very promising at the beginning then falls flat towards the end.

Nevertheless, It was a good attempt, however i couldn't help but notice all the flaws. Perhaps Malaysian directors should stop "attempting" and start producing results that are worth it. You have so many American war movies that you can follow the footsteps of, they started from scratch and made amazing war movies.. so what is your excuse? Challenge yourselves to be better story tellers. Please.

Real action hero but bad quality movie.

Supposed to be a good movie with all real history, but sadly the director unable to create any quality movie with lack of quality script, bad cinematography and worst movie flow.

I think everyone have high expectations with this movie, especially how Kanang should have always been depicted as true Iban warrior.

The first part in his village was quite ok, but when the novie move to senior Kanang, everything atart to fall apart. The selection of good actor with little script, totally budget waste.

A lot of new actors who just read the script and have sort of delay script response. I found out the communist soldier have bigger impact with good script, natural face reaction, strategy in moving in the jungle; as compared to Malaysian soldier. Totally backwards from our expectations.

Totally Wasted.
