This kind of film embodies the extreme lack of taste that is widespread in the Malaysian film industry. Action packed, but all meaningless and cringe The writing is awful. If anyone remembers KL Gangster (Also directed by the woeful Syamsul Yusof), this film is basically the historic version of it. Almost zero meaningful story. It seemed like the great casts flocked only for the idea of making a Mat Kilau film, not a film about Mat Kilau.
It's a great shame when a notable hero in history is used as a main character in a cheap watermelon action movie just to ramp up marketing and drive up sales. But who to blame again? It's the lack of taste among Malaysians, more so malays, that glorify this film as if it has any story telling of the actual history behind Mat Kilau. Anyone who has zero idea who Mat Kilau was, will learn absolutely nothing after watching this film.
The cinemas all over Malaysia were packed for over a month just for this film. Endless showtimes of Mat Kilau conquered it. Thor was cancelled and barely anyone complained.
It's good that the film is celebrated like no other. But it's bad that it's for this tasteless film. Wake up la Malays, This film is awful and crap. Nothing to bangga about. It's dark times in Malaysian film industry and FINAS is a big blame for it.
Last but not least, screw Syamsul Yusof, Zero talent and apparently he had the nerve to compare himself to Quentin Tarantino. With your budget, that guy would stomp your project inside a week. Go get your rempit girl you left your wife for. Your art is a great shame of this country.
