The Assistant

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.

Storytelling, acting, action, visual, cinematography, plot twist, everything about this movie are great. Again, thumbs up to Adrian Teh for making this mesmerizing action film. It's so intense. Adrian Teh as a director on a new level.

If I can write something in short its simple: an interesting but very violent and blood-y movie with lots crazy fantasy scenes.

Getting now into some analysis : I know some little malay and could understood around 10% of what told but Greek subtitles greatly helped me. A good way to tst and learn a bit of the language live.

This is the story of Zafik or Just Fiq as many times noticed in the movie. He was unjustly imprisoned He is a calm but legitimate but poor civilian. After being released he aimed to get revenge against anyone involved to get him imprisoned (for trafficking drugs) His aim is to get informed who and why killed his family. His older close friend a suddenly rich person welcome him in his company to work for him but .. In the mean time Feroz a person with mental disorder helped him to get revenge.

This is just the first 8 minutes of calm and slow plot with the remain story getting much more interest until in the end

The story as already noticed is quite brutal. Mot of the movie is gunfire scenes and continuous martial arts most of them rather unnecessary. The movie spoil come to Feroz the person who prefers to play the very strong brutal guy with Rambo powers! (a bit unnatural for his muscle shape).

Fiq knows his abilities . He is a quite impotent and many times cold not help is family. Also a hesitating man. Yes he is married with one child>many times he could not even have money to feed them and always.

Feroz (from Fairuz) instead is a crazy man He uses violent methods and is quite if not very smart. Many times you can look at him laughing even if noting happened. He is aso Sam FIqs best fiend keeps the secret of the story

In the end there are serious secrets that twist the whole story These secrets made me laugh from plot's naivety and will be remain secrets here . The only I can notice we the story steps twice higher into fantasy than reality. As for example we see him getting stabbed to death and after a few seconds he again returns into life! A few mutes after he is fallen frpom the 3rd floor bounce between walls in a narrow road and again after sometime he again risen from the ...floor! Does not sound crazy ?

There are also some nice fast car scenes with lots of gunfire

In short even if the movie is good for international audience many foreigners will mostly laugh with it

Filming is nice and very interesting with HD video quality and some minimal CGI, The main guys play well except Freoz with his ludicrous appearance and overwhelming acting . Lots also of bad mouthing (typical nasty English words )

I generally know that the Malaysian kind of humor is even worse than the Hindi humor as based on 4 movies seen on early 2k

2/5.

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.
