Seems every country with any martial arts history is making a movie nowadays. MERANTAU is from Indonesia and showcases the ancient martial arts of Silat Harimau. Am seeing maybe a common ancestry here with Muay Buran. The story is cultural and modern at the same time and the fight scenes are quite good if not as dramatic as ONG BAK. What makes a good martial arts movie though is having a good villain who can fight and stand up to the hero, here we have two.
Will be nice to see more of Iko Uwais showing off his great and exhausting looking fighting style.
