Crossroads: One Two Jaga

Don't wanna say to much.. very close to reality of malaysian.. u want to know black dirty secret of malaysia.. watch this

Or is it or? Well whatever the case this is a nice little independent movie, that deals with small town (village?) criminals. The movie has a lot of characters and if you are not used to watching movies from Asia in general, you may get confused. A lot of story, a lot of people, so a second viewing may have to take place for you to get all of it.

Don't feel bad about that, try to cherish it rather. The movie is short and goes by quite quickly. More than decent with enough action to keep you on the edge of your seat too. If you have a heart for small budget movies that seem to have filmmakers with passion at the helm you could do worse

Corruption as it finest. The sruggle between what is good and what is wrong is so intense and can lead to any possibilities.

Good acting. Good storyline. I love the realness of the atmosphere in this movie.

Good try for Malaysian film. Hope more to come.

The good cop/bad cop theme is the most overused theme in Hollywood in the past but it is kind of refreshing to see it in Malaysian film. If you had already saw Training Day played by Denzel Washington and Ethan Hawke then this movie has some similar plot in it.

In respond to realism depiction of the story, I don't think you should treat this movie as a medium to promote stereotype towards the authority. Just enjoy it like any other films and learn something good from it.

From technical point of view, one obvious weakness of the movie is bad color grading which is in my opinion too much green. But overall I was impressed by solid performance of the actors. If you are Malaysian, do yourself a favor and go see this movie.
