Paskal

It's actually really good compared to other local movies that usually runs among gangsterism and dumb comedies. Malaysians are their own worst critic unfortunately. It's actually a huge quality jump from the normal flicks we have. Yes, it felt like an old HK police movie, and that my friend, is already better than anything so far. keep it up.

Definitely this movie set a new standard for Malaysian movie scene.

Acting could be better by a bit, and wish more twist and turn for movie plot - on not the based on true story scene.

Anyway, it does leave me feel proud and motivated. Hopefully more movie like this being produced in the future.

This would be 8/10 from me.

So, best Malayan movie I have ever seen, but in comparison to the world of Military action flicks, it is definitely only in the Top 100. The character development is not really distinctive and the characters' motivation does not reach beyond honour, believe, tradition and greed. Nonetheless, if you are a fan of the display of military equipment and apparently kind of realistic combat scenarios of elite military units, I can definitely recommend this movie - but the knife fight at the end was not really necessary to be honest. But I always enjoy military action movies where the soldiers do not act like Rambo and stay calm and composed during fire fights - and use their vast variety of awesome equipment. So definitely worth a watch - simply do not expect a breathtaking experience!

Putting aside the main actors and their ability to act; this unique gem of a Malaysian movie stands out as one of the best to break the generic genres plaging Malaysia cinema.

The strength of this movie lies squarely on their faithful interpretation of military tactics and deployment. Which was beautifully done.

It started strong showing a glimpse of how PASKAL operates and its internal culture. However, I suppose it may be their undoing to introduce personal vendettas making it look like an 80's B rate action movie that would make Jan Micheal Vincent blush. That is the weak link in this movie and killed off a great momentum.

Apparently if one is Malay, this movie is a 10. Otherwise it plays out like a 1970 TV movie. At the bowie knife fight I gave up. I cannot recommend if you are used to higher quality fare, it is clear that team Malay voted this way up... yet this is substandard otherwise.
