Joko Anwar, one of the most prominent filmmakers in Indonesia, delivers luwarm blockbuster that is full of cliches and unnecessary setups for its doomed universe.
Incoherent storytelling and series of action set pieces that serve no purpose in the plot except to showcase some fine stunt work. Its mash of random scenes. For example there is a scene of protagonist fighting the thugs then at the end of fight the scene switches to different group discussing. Then again, the scene switches to protagonist fighting a different group of thigs at different location. The film does not explain why or how the protagonist got there and why is he fighting.
Again because producers want to build "universe" they insert several random scenes that average audience will say "What just happened?"
Some production designs and cinematographies are quite decent. The vibe of the 1st act had mixed horror vibe with Dark Knight-ish tone. However, overall horrible script with terrible pacing combined with choppy edits made this film to become Daredevil instead of the Dark Knight.
I mean Ben Affleck's Daredevil
