Foxtrot Six

I was hoping this movie will open up its doors to new era for Indonesian action movies.

Boy I was so wrong.

The incoherent storytelling continuously distract viewers from immersing into the narrative. There were so many scenes which I didnt understand the reason its happening or some scenes are just way too incoherent that made me laugh due to script's absurdity.

At the same time the horrendous dialogues and one liners, seems it was written by a 7th grade action movie fanatic who just copied and pasted all those cliched dialogues from 80s action movies.

At one point one character expresses his emption in three random words 'How?' 'Why?' and 'Nevermind!'. That terrible line made the actor to perform worst acting in his career.

At least I was expecting some decent action set pieces. But then again what I got was uninspired action set pieces one after another. Just few scenes with anime wanna be actions with terrible stunt choreographies.

And then there is this SOUND MIXING...

The sound in this movie is just unbearable for your ears. From awkward dialogues I mentioned earlier to terrible voice over. The worst part of sound mixing is during action scenes where sound engineers just amped up the volume so high as if the pistol is firing a canon. The sound effects just scream in your ear over and over again til your eardrum gets numb.

If this movie was released on Youtube instead, as "Fan Made Call of Duty Movie! " it might've caught high school fanboys' attention.

Sorry Indonesia, this is not the future of your cinema

There is a global food shortage. Indonesian president Indra vows to solve the problem. A secret cabal intends to launch a coup. Angga learns the true ruthlessness of the plan while discovering his ex has founded an underground group.

This is a mess. I don't know anything about writer/director Randy Korompis but he seems to be a newbie. It shows. I was hoping for Raid. Maybe it could be Netflix level action. The story telling is jagged. Suddenly, an invisible cloak turns this into a superhero movie for a minute. It tries to be a thriller but the writing is a muddle. I am willing to give this points for looking pretty good. The camera work actually looks competent. Obviously, this is trying to get into the English market. Korompis jams a lot of different Hollywood movies together. I would suggest that he gets some help to write his next movie.

The storyline is solid but somewhat predictable and convoluted. The dialogue is a bit tacky and forced. The characters could have been more developed, and the film gets over-dramatic at times. But the visual and special effects are surprisingly decent, the invisible cloak and the ironman-like suit are amazing, the futuristic sets/props are fantastic as well. The acting is good, the score is all right but overbearing at times, the cinematography is a standout. Not bad for an Indonesian action-adventure flick.

...this is amateur/newb producer, writer and director Randy Korompis' first film ever! Stellar production with outstanding cinematography, and directing better than some seasoned pro filmmakers films I've seen lately. Excellent casting and performances, and I'm happy it was made in English. The S/VFX were Hollywood blockbuster quality. Film length and pacing were spot on. The score was a little overbearing in some scenes, and the writing had some plot and technical issues, but nevertheless, shocked at how great this film was coming from a new filmmaker! Mad props and respect to Randy Korompis. A well deserved 8/10 from me

I don't even understand why ppl can rate this high score. For me, the storyline is good, the acting is good except the cutting is too flashy and some scene just doesn't make sense and look like a mess
