Straightforward and entertaining.

A woman goes insane but doesn’t take her meds.

One of those head-up-its-ass movies that tries to be smart but only fucks with viewers with constant tense music and not writing.

Going on a road trip to move one of them, three college students take a detour to track down a hacker that almost framed the other two.

Great pace, tone and overall “feel”. Suspenseful, interesting and intriguing. I feel as though this movie doesn’t dumb itself down for its audience, because there really isn’t any opportunity for it to make a choice either way.

Any useful description would be a spoiler; it’s that kind of movie.

It’s indie, experimental, and hits the mark like a wrecking ball. Riveting, stressful, and highly recommended.

This is a strange example that not all martial arts movies are either action or thriller. This is decent bubblegum if you’re into this style of movie. It’s not cheesy, it’s just dated.

  • Trailer
  • It’s actually subtitled as “Lyonheart”.

A poor village is robbed, and a young man sets out to retrieve the village’s most prized possession.

Quite good and holds up well. In context there were very few movies of this grit out at the time, and it really made waves.

Mercenaries mercenary, but not effectively, and survivors band together for revenge.

It’s a solid violence-filled thriller more in the American style than Indonesian, so it’s good but not great.

A guy is hunted by a past he has amnesia from.

A straightforward plot with similar actors playing the similar roles from other movies, making this blend into a multi-movie mood. Highly recommended.

I truly had no fucking clue what was going on most of the way through, it was just gritty insanity.

God fucking damn this is intense. Fuck!
