The Assistant

Not ideal to watch with family. I was thinking to watch this movie together with family as a reason to watch local movie but the content of this movie are quite surprising. I know the rates for this movie is 18+ however as i watch the cast are mostly malaysian, i was thinking it's not as bad as western movie sexual content. Sexy characters, zoom in into butt, and few others. I didn't expect the movie having these scenes since they have quite popular Malay cast. Overall not really a good movie.

No need to rehash the plot details. It's a revenge flick starring a wrongly-jailed guy whose wife and son were killed while he was in the slammer. Classic setup.

The dude seems pretty helpless until a psycho joins the effort to handle the essential mayhem. All the visceral kicks viewers seek from these flicks come from his gleefully sadistic dispatching of thugs as they move up the food chain to the next level of authority. Standard, gory plotline for such guilty-pleasure fare from any continent until a pretty unique, well-executed plot twist. The good sort of mayhem escalates until they jump the shark in the climactic battle.

Once they go too far with the psychological element, we're stuck with an adults-only spin on Looney Toons. Too bad they couldn't figure out a better way to wrap up this otherwise solid action offering.

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.

So it starts off okay, you realise what the twist is, but the movie is basically 30 mins longer than it should be, some fight scenes are tedious and unrealistic. Gunfire doesn't sound right. Seem to be some ripped off scenes from other movies I have watched. The fight with Mr Unfinished Tattoo at the end is just plain stoopid. The car chase yeah maybe. The falling fight no I don't think so. CGI half assed. Some people died unnecessarily I think. And the main actor who just got out of jail, well he certainly doesn't seem like someone who's spent serious time in a hellish jail. Also I saw PASKAL not long ago and that is a far superior film, it got me interested in Malaysian films.

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.
