Review of Foxtrot Six

Foxtrot Six (2019)
2/10
Missed opportunity

I was hoping this movie will open up its doors to new era for Indonesian action movies.

Boy I was so wrong.

The incoherent storytelling continuously distract viewers from immersing into the narrative. There were so many scenes which I didnt understand the reason its happening or some scenes are just way too incoherent that made me laugh due to script's absurdity.

At the same time the horrendous dialogues and one liners, seems it was written by a 7th grade action movie fanatic who just copied and pasted all those cliched dialogues from 80s action movies.

At one point one character expresses his emption in three random words 'How?' 'Why?' and 'Nevermind!'. That terrible line made the actor to perform worst acting in his career.

At least I was expecting some decent action set pieces. But then again what I got was uninspired action set pieces one after another. Just few scenes with anime wanna be actions with terrible stunt choreographies.

And then there is this SOUND MIXING...

The sound in this movie is just unbearable for your ears. From awkward dialogues I mentioned earlier to terrible voice over. The worst part of sound mixing is during action scenes where sound engineers just amped up the volume so high as if the pistol is firing a canon. The sound effects just scream in your ear over and over again til your eardrum gets numb.

If this movie was released on Youtube instead, as "Fan Made Call of Duty Movie! " it might've caught high school fanboys' attention.

Sorry Indonesia, this is not the future of your cinema
