This movie is outstanding. I would have preferred subtitles over dub but I still enjoyed it immensely. The dub detracts from the movie a bit as it doesn't convey emotion well and there are moments when the spoken word feels cheesy because of it. Outside of that, the movie is great, the fight scenes are great, and I really like the cast.

I love this movie, the only reason why I gave it a 3 is because only English dubbed is available. I actually wanted to give a lower rating because I was deeply displeased by this

This movie is an awesome introduction to silat and a fantastic debut for star Iko Uwais and director Gareth Evans. This is the movie they made before making the Raid Redemption. The fight scenes are amazing.
