The Assistant

The storyline are interesting with major couple of plot twists. Some CGI still need improvement but okay meh. Love the camera angle. Very² dramatic and unique transition.

This movie also teaches us about mental disorders. Which is not really educated enough in our country these days. For that I'm giving a high rating. It is a good movie.

Packed with info needed no time wasted. Slight adult jokes & normal jokes also included. These kinda movies are absolutely better than those boring endless love stories. Malaysia need more movies like this.

At first, it was interesting to me buat after 30 minutes, it's obvious where the story is heading. The premise of someone coming out of prison and his identity is shrouded in mystery is good for me but what comes after that is so stupid.

You can spot the twist coming from miles away, what a letdown. The twist was so obvious that you might as well explain the secret of a magic show to your audience. It was that obvious.

I'm not sure why the script always need to follow obviously a certain western film. Like you cannot think for yourselves to make a movie for yourself? Always need to be like Hollywood movie.

Finally, an action thriller film rated R from Malaysia. I always wanted Malaysia action movie like this. Thank you so much to the great visionary director, Adrian Teh for making this come true. Hairul Azreen as always great action actor. Everything about this movie are great. The action, plot twist, storytelling, visual all great. Can't wait for Adrian upcoming movie.

The storyline is interesting, with a twist and turn at last. BUT it's NOT 'wow' or surprising enough, as we have seen many better than this kind of movies before. Also, as an audience, we know what the director is heading for! BUT somehow.. it's just NOT well depicted or there enough to get the right 'feeling'.

The pace is ok, slow and steady, with things going on to keep you entertained.

Well, it is the very first time, I found so many vulgar words (e.g. Fxxk, Fxxk-U, CB, LJ, S*hai..) in a Malaysian movie! It's really surprising and I love it! Haha!!

The actions are alright. BUT the director could be over-greedy, having too much in the movie, making it a poor one. Or certain part was meant to be super-cool, yet it was not well delivered, e.g. The gun-shooting scenes of the TWO cars at the U-TURN junction. We know how it shall look like, but it's just up to the Hollywood level to show the BEST of it!

Besides, the jumping-off KLCC scene is poorly presented by the CGI. OR I shall say, it is rather unnecessary, as it doesn't add much value to the movie, in fact, it leads to confusion.

The actors and actresses are all good, BUT the side-roles and others are a bit off and NOT professional enough. Their acting skills are quite stiff and not natural. BUT, overall.. it's ok for a local production.

Being a lenient reviewer, I gave 5.5 out of 1.0 for a local movie. There are plenty of rooms for improvement, especially for a psycho movie like this. Focusing on the main-topic with appropriate depth could be the key to success for such a movie, instead of being over-greedy to have too much on the plate, making it a mixture of nothing but just some empty actions.

If I can write something in short its simple: an interesting but very violent and blood-y movie with lots crazy fantasy scenes.

Getting now into some analysis : I know some little malay and could understood around 10% of what told but Greek subtitles greatly helped me. A good way to tst and learn a bit of the language live.

This is the story of Zafik or Just Fiq as many times noticed in the movie. He was unjustly imprisoned He is a calm but legitimate but poor civilian. After being released he aimed to get revenge against anyone involved to get him imprisoned (for trafficking drugs) His aim is to get informed who and why killed his family. His older close friend a suddenly rich person welcome him in his company to work for him but .. In the mean time Feroz a person with mental disorder helped him to get revenge.

This is just the first 8 minutes of calm and slow plot with the remain story getting much more interest until in the end

The story as already noticed is quite brutal. Mot of the movie is gunfire scenes and continuous martial arts most of them rather unnecessary. The movie spoil come to Feroz the person who prefers to play the very strong brutal guy with Rambo powers! (a bit unnatural for his muscle shape).

Fiq knows his abilities . He is a quite impotent and many times cold not help is family. Also a hesitating man. Yes he is married with one child>many times he could not even have money to feed them and always.

Feroz (from Fairuz) instead is a crazy man He uses violent methods and is quite if not very smart. Many times you can look at him laughing even if noting happened. He is aso Sam FIqs best fiend keeps the secret of the story

In the end there are serious secrets that twist the whole story These secrets made me laugh from plot's naivety and will be remain secrets here . The only I can notice we the story steps twice higher into fantasy than reality. As for example we see him getting stabbed to death and after a few seconds he again returns into life! A few mutes after he is fallen frpom the 3rd floor bounce between walls in a narrow road and again after sometime he again risen from the ...floor! Does not sound crazy ?

There are also some nice fast car scenes with lots of gunfire

In short even if the movie is good for international audience many foreigners will mostly laugh with it

Filming is nice and very interesting with HD video quality and some minimal CGI, The main guys play well except Freoz with his ludicrous appearance and overwhelming acting . Lots also of bad mouthing (typical nasty English words )

I generally know that the Malaysian kind of humor is even worse than the Hindi humor as based on 4 movies seen on early 2k

2/5.
