Teka Teki Tika

The title of the movie is tika's riddle, but the build up of the mystery is all over the place and the conclusion is a betrayal of expectation.

While the 1st act is great, everything falls down afterwards.

The plot twist doesn't add anything to the story, the unfolding of the plot and the uncovering of the mystery depend too much on the exposition, and the other characters' arc beside Tika and mr budiman is somewhat irrelevant to the main plot.

And the audacity to spend 1/5 duration at the end of the movie just to tease a spy-action-sequel tease... Oh my...

It would be better to expect/advertise this movie as drama comedy than thriller.

Once the trailer came out, I was hyped because finally Indonesia made this kind of genre. But when I watched this movie, I felt like everything was so half-assed. The mystery, the comedy, like, I had no idea what kind of movie was this supposed to be. The comedy was cringe af, I couldn't enjoy it. And they put it in the wrong times that resulted in ruining the thrilling vibes. The twists were forced. The actors played like they read the whole script.

I kinda loved the scoring, though. It's pretty good. The building too.

I think it's a nice movie to watch, even a little bit boring at first... but i think i understand about this movie message, Ernest wanted to tell about political problems and they corruption in our country. Also I think it's more enjoyable if they create a series with its main character "Tika". The end of the film, maybe it will more make people curious if Ernest create a trailer for the next episode (not the long one and show unnessecary scene.

Looking for something to watch for lunch and stumbled upon this one. As i remember how ernest 'advertised' this title in pandji? If im not mistaken? Anyway. To not hoping too much as im clicking this movie on d+ is definitely a sure thing to do.

Technicality? Super nice.

Plot wise? So-so.

Overall? Uh......?

I enjoyed the quality of the production. Super nice to watch. But overall, not really surprised or amazed me. First, the tika character, was hoping she can be more versatile with her tone throughout the movie. The playful wicked character in her not really stand out, imo. Second, is it just me or the pace of the movie feels slow? Something was stretched out or unnecessary to put. The comedy, the action at the epilogue, jane's character esp. I feel like she supposed to be refreshing yet she is not.

Gave 7 mostly for appreciate the production of this movie. Try again, ernest.

Not twisting, predictable, characters all boring, even Sheila Dara's role is very unnatural. But it's a good start since crime genre is still rare in Indonesia.
