Exactly! You can’t even imagine what that looks like and that’s why you must watch this.

It’s the perfect fusion of Silat and gunplay.

That said, like every Indonesian action movie, the action is pitch-perfect. But if you aren’t, you might take some time to warm up to it. If you’re a fan of Westerns, I am pretty sure that you’re going to love it. So, without further ado, let’s begin the list. And there’s no better way to do so than watching the mind-blowing movies coming out of the country. But none of them, except maybe John Wick, have done justice to the immense potential in Indonesian action. Even Vasan Bala, director of Mard Ko Dard Nahi Hota, tipped his hat to Hammer Girl (from The Raid 2) via Radhika Madan’s costume design. You must’ve seen names like Iko Uwais, Joe Taslim, Cecep Arif Rahman, and Yayan Ruhian pop up in movies like Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Fast and Furious 6, Star Trek: Beyond, J ohn Wick: Chapter 3, Stuber and Mile 22. In my recent interview with Sam Hargrave, director of Extraction, he lauded the action scene in Indonesia and what Gareth Evans is doing. And, in my opinion, Indonesian action and Silat (a martial art form) are going to be the next big thing.

However, there are many more, especially from Indonesia, who deserve an equal share of the spotlight due to their talent. But when you ask the general public about their favourite action stars, they’ll come up with the same popular names: Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan, Jet Li, Michelle Yeoh, Sammo Kam-Bo Hung, Donnie Yen etc. Hence, when they migrated to the international platform, their stardom spread far and wide. Asian action has always been better than Hollywood action given the budget in which they operate.
