Wira (2019)

Has set a new benchmark for Malaysian movies

I purposely created this IMDB account just for the sole purpose to let everyone know how excited I was with this movie. I am still quite unhappy about the box office being slightly low than the budget spent for this movie. Long story short, all Malaysians should watch this movie because it's offering a whole fresh perspective of what Malaysian film industry can achieve and SHOULD achieve.

Plot is fairly okay, although slightly expected but it's different from what usually Malay movies have to offer. I really despise the low standard of taste of the majority here. For once, there's no stupid, cringy, unfunny nor controversial remarks in this movie. Just subtle chuckle here and there just enough as an added spice to the cooking. I just wanted to write how I appreciated this movie has game up the industry in Malaysia whether it's from art direction perspective, cinematography, the lighting, post VFX, and last but not least, the fighting choreography (although it's done by Yayan; the indonesian martial artist) I can assure you that every cent spent on him is worth it.

Looking forward to the next sequel seeing that the ending is hinting something.
