Amir, Thomas, Dayan, and Marius return in the most expensive movie project Indonesia's ever seen.
After the successful raid on Dutch Army's Supply Convoy, Amir, Thomas, Dayan, and Marius immediately found the General Soedirman's Headquarter deep in the forest. And with the experienced the got, they've been recruited into the elite unit under command of the explosive yet wise soldier, Sergeant Yanto (Ario Bayu). Captain Amir then replace Yanto's position as the unit leader. Their first mission, to crippled the the dutch army's airfield construction. Whatever the cost, whatever the risk. sounds pretty Hollywood to me.
and indeed the dialogue are still the same, still influenced by 'hollywood', and therefore, failed to impressed me. acting aren't so good either, only Rudy Wowor acted so good as Major Van Gaartner, other actor/actress seems not doing their best.
the plot in this movie are much better than the prequel. so does the character development. in term of story, the film are good enough. looks like every character has its own problem, its own story, and they have to work it out together to solved their problem. but it doesn't mean the story are good though, its not. still looks like a B class storywrite for me.
the action scene are perform well and better than the first film, we can see a larger portion of action scene here, building blew up, bullets flying arround, blood splattering all over, people shot over, guns fire endlessly, knives stabbing into the body, the action are much BETTER than the first one. I can say that in this movie, the budget threw in a good hands. it is an expensive movies.
well it has rejuvenated my excitement to the trilogy, with still many flaws, i find this movie entertained enough. i'm not satisfied, but i'm looking forward for the finale.
7 out of 10 is an adequate score.
sorry for my English.
