      When Zafik (Iedil Dzuhrie Alaudin) first visits the office of Dato Sam Lee (Henley Hii) the book 'Thick Black Theory' is clearly visible on Sam's desk. In it Chinese scholar Li Zongwu describes the ruthless and hypocritical means men use to obtain and hold power. This can be seen as a theme in the movie.

    Crazy fictional revenge flick
    If I can write something in short its simple: an interesting but very violent and blood-y movie with lots crazy fantasy scenes.

    Getting now into some analysis : I know some little malay and could understood around 10% of what told but Greek subtitles greatly helped me. A good way to tst and learn a bit of the language live.

    This is the story of Zafik or Just Fiq as many times noticed in the movie. He was unjustly imprisoned He is a calm but legitimate but poor civilian. After being released he aimed to get revenge against anyone involved to get him imprisoned (for trafficking drugs) His aim is to get informed who and why killed his family. His older close friend a suddenly rich person welcome him in his company to work for him but .. In the mean time Feroz a person with mental disorder helped him to get revenge.

    This is just the first 8 minutes of calm and slow plot with the remain story getting much more interest until in the end

    The story as already noticed is quite brutal. Mot of the movie is gunfire scenes and continuous martial arts most of them rather unnecessary. The movie spoil come to Feroz the person who prefers to play the very strong brutal guy with Rambo powers! (a bit unnatural for his muscle shape).

    Fiq knows his abilities . He is a quite impotent and many times cold not help is family. Also a hesitating man. Yes he is married with one child>many times he could not even have money to feed them and always.

    Feroz (from Fairuz) instead is a crazy man He uses violent methods and is quite if not very smart. Many times you can look at him laughing even if noting happened. He is aso Sam FIqs best fiend keeps the secret of the story

    In the end there are serious secrets that twist the whole story These secrets made me laugh from plot's naivety and will be remain secrets here . The only I can notice we the story steps twice higher into fantasy than reality. As for example we see him getting stabbed to death and after a few seconds he again returns into life! A few mutes after he is fallen frpom the 3rd floor bounce between walls in a narrow road and again after sometime he again risen from the ...floor! Does not sound crazy ?

    There are also some nice fast car scenes with lots of gunfire

    In short even if the movie is good for international audience many foreigners will mostly laugh with it

    Filming is nice and very interesting with HD video quality and some minimal CGI, The main guys play well except Freoz with his ludicrous appearance and overwhelming acting . Lots also of bad mouthing (typical nasty English words )

    I generally know that the Malaysian kind of humor is even worse than the Hindi humor as based on 4 movies seen on early 2k

    2/5.
