The Big Four

Solid movie with action, gore CGI, good humor, but it doesn't have gun recoil whatsoever in the movie. Everyone knows that when you fire a gun, it will kick back, it is called recoil, but this movie fails to show that simple detail, even when the skinny girl fires the bazooka, no kick back whatsoever, it is a freaking bazooka!!

Sometimes, good attention to details will make it a great movie, I dont know why am I so bothered about this "receh" detail. But overall this is a good movie, story is simple, comedy is good, cinematography is top notch. Putri Marino character is angry all the time I dont know why tho...

Nice film, with good actor.. for indonesian movies, is very amazing and awesome,. The way director took a film so coll and cinemart..

That's what i kept on saying when watching the movie.

It was a thrilling watch, that's for sure. The action was solidly well choregraphed; the filmatography was briliant. The movie somehow balanced the gore and comedy seemlessly; and CGI showed some high quality work. The story was well told; the plot was straight to the point, without any unnecessary scenes (don't you hate it when they tend to drag it out? I mean, just get to the point!). The cast was great! They really delivered. I've been following Kristo Immanuel for a while, and I was really glad to see him in bigger projects like this one (and really nailed it!).

I thoroughly enjoyed the movie. I was laughing and biting my nails at the same time. Indonesian movies have come a long way -- I mean, the talent 💯

I'd count the director's THE NIGHT COMES FOR US as one of my all-time favourite movies, an absolutely blistering attack on the senses and all-out martial arts hit. This follow-up adopts an action comedy template and has more of that top action direction, but at the same time it somehow misses the mark. At two and a half hours in length, the action hits but only occupies a third of that running time. The rest is made up of inane comedy and no story. The characters are very limited here, the actors unknown and lacking gravitas, and some of them cross over into being annoying. The gory FX and fight choreography are as great as ever, but I wish the rest wasn't such a drag.

At the beginning of the film, I thought, "this might be interesting", but as the film went on, I lost my interest. The story isn't really good and I couldn't get used to the humor either (exept for a few times). However, the action in this movie is very good. This is also the reason why I kept watching the film as I was always waiting for the next good action scene. There are 1-2 scenes that don't really look good and don't really make sense either but all in all, the action is well done and it's a lot of fun to watch.

If you are in the mood for good action, you can watch the film, but expect that you may be bored until the next action scene and that the story won't really catch you.

The Big 4 are the adopted children of Petrus, who has trained them to be perfect assassins well atleast 3 of them as the youngest one mostly is a bait. Petrus is murdered leading to the big 4 to go on hiding while his actual daughter becomes a police officer and is obsessed to solve his murder. How the daughter teams up with the 4 to take revenge on their father's killer, forms rest of the story.

The tone never gets serious with constant funny lines thrown around. Many jokes don't land correctly, but the loud comedy somehow carries the story forward while the bloody action set pieces take care of the rest. Much of the jokes fall under the silly category but the action set pieces gets more fun whenever they get silly which should be credited for the innovativeness. The story is built up for a sequel so the main reason for the conflict is still kept unrevealed.
