Refreshing!

OK, so this is Malaysia's first indie movie....not as slick as Hollywood stuff but very different from the normal run-of-the-mill Malaysian drama. The sense of humour is quirky (and maybe startling). Some people might find it a bit over-the-top and self-indulgent, but the situations and dialogue are still very Malaysian even though presented in a semi-surreal and cartoony way. Good effort from those involved, and I hope to see more of such local works. Simply loved those two cops - they should have been given more scenes!
