Don't mess with Rambu!
10 May 2007
The Stabilizer himself, Peter O'Brian (sans the tight perm this time around) pops up here in another pretty wacky Indonesian action epic.

This time around our man is Rambu and yes, you've guessed it, his character isn't exactly a million miles away in resemblance to a certain Hollywood movie icon….

Cue plenty of hilariously sped up, ferocious fight scenes, a rather bizarre motorbike vs Autorickshaw battle(!), an explosion packed finale and atrocious acting, dubbing and voice over work throughout and you end up with this minor bad movie classic.

Certainly it starts off excellently (the opening scene is a classic!) and ends on a high (not to mention explosive!) note but to be honest, the main bulk of the film is a less than engaging affair despite the glowing reviews many other ostensibly easily excitable folk on here are bestowing upon it.

For fellow connoisseurs of cinematic craptaculars, it's certainly worth a look but it has to be said, is nowhere near as much fun as the utterly demented spectacle that marks as Arizal's ultimate masterpiece, namely the hilarious Final Score.
