So today I watched Iko Uwais' Merantau (think of it as in the spiritual predecessor of The Raid movies).
The fighting sequences have some great coreohraphy, as well as really good intensity and pacing. The cast did a good job, specially Iko Uwais despite this was his first time acting. The technical side (lighting, sound effects and music) was spot on . The story itself has a balanced combination of action and drama, sometimes feeeling like a drama where the protagonist happens to be a martial artist. This movie also introduces a lesser know fighting style to international audiences which is always a plus.
