Skeptical. That's my first feeling when I heard the title and the casts. Because as you know it, Malaysian action films tend to be as tasteless as you could imagine. Try watching "Gangsterock" and you'll see it. The last time I watched a good quality action film from Malaysian Director was Gangster (2005), a film directed by Bade Hj. Azmi. It was so good that I couldn't find any other Malaysian film that can topple it. That was until I watch Polis Evo.
Directed by Ghaz Abu Bakar, I only knew him from his "Cicakman" and some Malaysian artist Music Video. Starring Zizan Razak and Shaheizy Sam, I never could imagine that they would be good pair. I mean really good. What I loved the most about the film was the action scene. Ghaz Abu Bakar was trying so hard to make it as "Hollywood" as it can. Explosives, car chases, shooting scenes, all were shot brilliantly in a very Hollywood manner. Although the budget for the film was quite high, but it certainly paid off with the whopping RM17 millions Box Office.
A certain perfection and quality must be reached for a film to be good, and this time, Ghaz has reached it. I am really hoping that this film would be an "eye-opener" to all of Malaysian film directors out there. Pound some budget, put some work and tremendous effort on it, caress it with quality and perfection, and it will definitely be paid off.
