Made very much in the splashy Hollywood style, even going so far as being in English, this Indonesian actioner tells a familiar tale of a man leading a revolt, pitted against a ruthless dictatorial government, and the insurmountable odds therein. Set in the near future, but not being too far from the headlines on the current evening news. A big deal is made in the promotional materials of Mario Kassar on board, who produced T2, Rambo and Total Recall, among others, and this does have the same macho appeal, and a rather bleak outlook on humanity. All of the cast appear comfortable speaking English, and it's possible you might even forget this is not an American feature. If it tends to follow formula, it's a good one, and it hits the right notes on cue. If you enjoy action, and especially Kasser's earlier productions, this comes recommended.
