Teka Teki Tika

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.

One of Ernest Prakasa's disappointing films. This was Ernest's first time working on a detective-themed film, but unfortunately ended in an identity crisis. The genre is mixed between comedy, thriller, and mystery, there is also action at the last minute. The comedy that is thrown is not funny and doesn't fit the scene that should be serious. The plot that was prepared was also packaged as if it was a very plot twist, but what happened was forced. Too many clues are revealed at the end and don't make sense. The scene after the completion also suddenly jumps to the identity of the main character and then a new case appears without being revealed. But it's a shame that the chosen cast is quite well-known and top-notch, with supporting interiors and properties.

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.

Yes it entertaining, but the film is so not like ernest that who make it, its like, the film lost ernest touch.

I know its the first time, but i am so disappointent and my be if he want to try make another mystery movie. I will not miss and stil try to watch. Cause i know first its always not the best

three word to this film is : ooo just like that, bad fighting scene, and the plot is not really good enought. Especially the plot twist its just badd :( sorry for the bad critic.

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.
