If you ever want to watch a balls to the wall action movie, this is it. An Indonesian movie released in 2012, this movie is like if die hard had a baby with Kung Fu movie. The premise is simple, there is a wanted drug lord at the top level of a hotel and the cops got to get him. The hotel has now become a safe haven for criminals, so that makes the cops job a little bit harder. Their plan is to go up floor by floor and restrain any criminals they find while staying hidden as long as possible. No surprise that eventually get discovered, and sh*t hits the fan. And the next hour or so are nothing but fast paced fight scenes, and it's f*cking awesome. What surprised me about this movie was how professional the movie looks. The budget was only about one million, but the movie looks legit. The acting isn't overly great, but they chose these guys not for their acting but for their stunt skills. And before they started filming all the actors actually went to a police training facility so they knew what to do. So hats off to them for going the extra mile. So at the end of the day the plot might not be the best or most original we've ever seen, but all I can say about this movie is that it is awesome. So if you're on netflix one night and you see this movie, watch it.
