Merantau
is
the first feature film from the director of The
Raid: Redemption. It is not quite as brutal or snappy as The Raid, but the film has an enjoyable
kinetic energy. The movie is feels like a late 80's/early 90's VHS import
kung-fu movie, due to the low budget and hammy acting. The fight choreography
is definitely on par with the fight scenes in both of the Raid films. The movie is nice-looking given the budget. There are
lots of striking neon colors that remind me of Punisher: War Zone. If you like martial arts movies, this is definitely
worth checking out.
