This is a really low budget movie. Like really really low, so don't expect groundbreaking cgi. There is a car chase scene that I found laughable thanks to the low quality cgi. I wasn't invested in the story, at one point they completely let go of one of the storylines and I just had to go with it. I really liked the main villain, until they ruined it for me by showing us who was behind the mask. Like, COME ON you can't be serious. The other villains did not even speak once in the whole movie so they were just like minions. One thing that I enjoyed during all movie was the fighting scenes, good job on that one.
This Indonesian film was their attempt at a superhero film, and although it had some good qualities, it wasn't even close to achieving its goal.
It felt like a teeny-bopper film with over-the top acting on the 'fashion' dude, and stale performances that struggled to convince. Add ridiculous long fight scenes poorly choreographed and a silly story to match. The directing and cinematography were decent - for a B grade film, but the writing/screenplay was terrible with cliches, plot issues and dragged out scenes.
By the quarter way mark, I had to fast forward scenes as I was getting bored, then midpoint into the movie I just gave up.
It's a very generous 5/10 from me, only taking into account it's a no-name actors Indo B-grade film that had some decent qualities.

Very cutely done but not perfect. Dubbed into English which I think was a plus here. Valentine herself did a great job in her moves. All in all I did find it entertaining. Worth to see if you do not expect anything.
Ths is an indonesian take on the ''homebrewed'' superhero -genre, like batman and kickass consepts, but with a more modest financial budget.
the film is pretty good, it has just a little bit of vfx and cgi, so the majority of the act are real, and merely well coreographed action, and fights on bare hands alla muytai style. the actors are doing a good job, and makes this movie a better story than the script would have done ,without. the screenplay cant be more than 4 A4 sized pages, so its easy to phatom the point of the story.
if you are a superfanatic on the genre, dont bother watch this, for the rest of us curious gangsters of the sofaseat, can have a view, because the grumpy old man found this refreshing and well acted.

As comic book films go, this was "okay", but not impressive. So-so super hero flick about a female Batman-type vigilante. Good story but unbelievable because virtually no weapons were used by criminals-- all marial arts fight scenes. Valentine's costume looked like something out of amateur cosplay. She goes into heavy physical battle with virtually no body armor to speak of... and not a scratch during the entire film.
The storyline is cliche but decent and the characters aren't bad. But that costume along with the "I just love martial arts!" fight scenes made this a wiener of a film. That, followed by two incomprehensible "credit flicks" made this a somewhat underwhelming effort. Better than Batman & Robin, and there have been worse superhero films, but this could have used better costuming, better choreography, and a whole lot more "What does she do if someone pulls out a shotgun or a sword?" Seriously, the loon didn't even carry a taser. That's just goofy, unrealistic writing.
And while I did like the main actress... about 30 to 40 more pounds of muscle would have made her character more believable. Why do they always portray female "fighter type" super heroes like frail supermodels? C'mon industry, get some wits.

- GoofsTerrible editing on the big chase scene starting around 50mminutes. The minibus is variably ahead of and behind police cars in the sequence with no consistency. They take a fork different from Shadow's without losing ground moments later. Police are left in the dust for one shot but right behind Shadow in the next.
