13 Bombs

This is my dissapointment about this movie. First, this movie didn't have good introduction at all... And the motivation of the characters are not that strong.

For a 2 hours long, this movie couldn't make a great character development, and I think its because in here there are too many unimportant character, I'm even confused till the end who exactly the main protagonist was...

Sorry, but Angga Dwimas missed the opportunity to make this as good as his previous movie (Stealing Raden Saleh). In this movie Angga is seems to be bound with cryptocurrency message.

If you watch the trailer, you will see how exiting it was in that 2 minutes... But the whole movie? Its the opposite of watching the trailer. I skip many unnecessary dialogues and some moment in here...

Sometimes, everyone just needs a mindless action movie, grab a giant bucket of popcorn, and watch things blow up-now is one of those times. 13 Bombs di Jakarta is a huge spectacle with gut-punching excitement. The production value is top-notch, featuring impressive sets, props, costumes, solid special effects, and decent action choreography. The music score is also well done. As for originality in the script? Not so much. The plot doesn't offer anything new; it feels like a mix of Hollywood blockbuster clichés-somewhat ridiculous, mostly eye-popping, and a touch sentimental. The director delivers on action, explosions, wise-cracking heroes, and badass villains. The action scenes are well-executed with good pacing and thrills. If you're willing to check your brain at the door, this movie makes your time and money worthwhile. If you're after tons of explosions, shootouts, fires, and car chases, this film is right up your alley.

The premise of the bad guys is a stretch. The length of the movie is equally a stretch. After a while it looses its interest but if you get ½ in you stay in the hopes it gets better. Maybe streaming this on fast forward would have helped. The good guys in the movie are annoying and distract from this every getting to be worthwhile. If you like shoot the up's and body count you may like this movie. The premises of the bad guys is a major stretch. After suffering through 2 ½ hours you will need to get up and stretch. This is not one movie you will want to see for a second time. Next time, I will read the reviews as there can not be that many that like this. I am being kind with a 5/10 rating.

13 Bom di Jakarta is a thriller action film that successfully builds tension from start to finish. With the premise of 13 bombs set to explode every eight hours, the movie delivers heart-pounding action that keeps viewers on edge.

Director Angga Dwimas Sasongko crafts the story with a fast-paced rhythm and intense action sequences. The use of practical effects and dynamic cinematography enhances the suspense. Actors like Rio Dewanto and Ardhito Pramono deliver solid performances, making each character feel real.

Although some plot points are predictable, the film's strong execution and gripping atmosphere keep it engaging. With high-quality action and convincing visuals, 13 Bom di Jakarta is a must-watch for thriller fans.

I originally watched this movie at the cinema and honestly felt disappointed because the overall quality was really poor, from the pacing to the editing. However, once it was finally released on Netflix, I decided to give it another chance and rewatched it. To my surprise, this cut version turned out far better, with improved flow and clarity, and I ended up feeling much more satisfied and entertained compared to my first theater experience.
