10/10
Quite simply the greatest B-Movie of all time.

Warning: Spoilers
This is possibly the most daunting task I have ever undertaken. My unbridled love for this film urges me to write a review, yet as a mere mortal with only an A-Level B in English, I fear my poorly worded ramblings will not do this work of art justice. The Intruder, known simply to its admirers as "Rambu" follows the exploits of "Alex Termabuan, aka Rambu", an "unemployed bum" who "loves justice and hates crime". If one were to have a criticism of this film, it could be that possibly the best scene is the opening one, but such arguments could go on for days, nay, weeks, and would be quite fruitless. I think i'll avoid going into massive detail on the film, or i'll be here all day. Know this, this film affected not only myself, but my friends/co-appreciators so much that recently, we took the liberty of actually calling Parkit Films in Indonesia, in the hope of speaking with legendary director Yopi Burnama. Unfortunately, after being patched through to the "English speaker", it emerged that she could say only "yes" and "ok". But fear not, we have been thwarted only temporarily, and the logistics of a trip to Indonesia in search of Cast, Crew and Memorabilia are being examined. Not only does this film make me laugh out loud every time I watch it, my conversations are littered with quotes from the film, and it's a great hangover cure. As described by a fellow fan Bob, Rambu is "a hard-hitting,action packed, psychological thriller." Anyone interested in viewing this film will find it almost impossible to find, so please do not hesitate to contact me. Also, legendary fans Shep and Bob actually produced a theme tune to the film, containing the backing music and a plethora of the best quotes from the film. Other reviews will hark back to classic scenes, such as the "tennis ball projectile", or the battle of the Tuk-tuk's versus the motorcycle's. I simply don't have the time to go into detail on my favourite scenes. This review is merely to pay homage to what is the greatest film I have ever seen. Thankyou for reading, I'm off to watch it again.
