Stealing Raden Saleh

This feels weird to me because I can seperates the reviews of this movie into two parts with different impressions. The first part of the movie was very awkward, the actors were overacting, and the catchphrases were very cringe. The personality of actors seems forced that make it looks like they were acting rather than a natural act. It makes me feels like watching a soap opera rather than an action movie. They were very bad at explaining that it feels like they were reading a textbook. The good first part was when the protagonist angry out of stress after done making the art. After that the movie back again with a cringe moment where they create a plan and explaining it. It just very bad in that sense so I score it around 4 only for the first part.

But after the first heist done, somehow the movie feels very different and become more interesting. The acting more fluid and more natural. The heist become really-really good, and the action said the same. The only awkward thing was when they added a new character out of nowhere, who was good at fighting, but there was no explanation who he was. And the other bad thing was about the ending where the movie just ends abruptly, even though there still so many thing that need to be questioned and answered.

Overall for the entire length of the movie, the second part contrastly different than the first part, make it just like a different movie mashed up together, that's how awkward is this. For the second part I give 8.5.

Next is music. The music (or OST) in this movie is very horrible and out of place. It just like an ost out of a comedy sketch. This should be not implemented in this kind of movie. Even if it is, it should not be placed in the entire of movie. It was very unbearable, especially for someone that enjoy atmospheric music in movie like myself.

The Cinematography of this film is superb. That's the only thing I constantly enjoyable from start to finish. If there was no noticable CG, I score it 10 for cinematography alone. But because there were a minor imperfect CG, I score it 9.

Looking at the after ending, my expectation there will be a second movie. I hope the producer learn from mistakes and create more enjoyable movie in the future.

This movie was a lot better than I expected. At first I thought it would be a bit cheesy especially looking at the cast that consisted of young actors and actresses. But as I continued watching, it was surprisingly good with some smooth transition between one plot to another and a wonderful story telling with some excitement throughout the movie.

It obviously had high production value with the awesome setting, amazing fight choreography, some cool enough action sequence and especially the heist itself. There was even a trademark plot twist of such genre that was brilliantly inserted in here. With such ending, I would not mind to see a sequel should they chose to do so, even if this time the duration was probably a bit too long.

Great job from the cast and crew, in particular Angga Dwimas Sasongko as the writer and director who I believed had put in so much effort into making this as good as it is.

This film is about a male student whose father is imprisoned. This student has an excellent talent for painting, he has a close friend who is a hacker and a girlfriend who is an judo- athlete. One day Piko (the main character) was given an offer to replicate the painting of the kidnapping of Diponegoro by a famous painter, Raden Saleh for a fee of 2 M. Piko agreed, assisted by his friend Ucup, they carried out the action, on the day they gave the replica painting to the person who order it turns out that the person asked for another request which they could not refuse. Moreover, these individuals threaten the safety of Piko's father who is in prison. Piko, who was trapped, finally accepted the person's terrible request. So far this is the best indonesian movie in 2022, i didn't expect this movie will be so lit. All the actors played very well, there were no cringe scenes and the plot was really really cool. There are many plot twists, being tense, sad, laughing all those feelings got mixed up while watching this movie Although the plot seems kinda fast but I really enjoy this movie. 9/10 !!

This is the new face of indonesian movies! Actually i am not really fans of indonesian movies, but this movie really make me questions myself. The actings is really good, i love the effort from the actors doing some action and make it really cool, their expression seem so natural and make me impressed. The storyline is good, is not perfect but it's still good, there still some plothole in this movies and i hope the scriptwriter can fill it in the sequel, but it's really good, it's so rare i see some good storyline in indonesian action movies. The CGV is really amazing, it's good and felt so natural. The make up artis, they did a perfect job, but For make up after fighting, you have to add more bruises. It's really worth my 2,5 hours watched this movie. Keep the good work guys, and i hope i can hear a good news about the sequel.

This film is very good, the cast is slick and can bring us into the film by Angga Dwimas Sasongko, the action is cool but there are still many shortcomings in this film , there are lots of less important supporting characters like the guy who suddenly comes to help Sarah. Sarah's character is a tomboy but even less romantic than a piko character. But okay, I like the painting part which is really realistic and good with comedy seasoning which is enough to make me laugh it's just that sponsoring brands here is very rude and somewhat exaggerated rather annoying. It's just that smooth acting and CGI help this film

Rate: 8/10.
