I liked beginning how Iko(Hero) practiced Silat and leaved home.I liked the very first fight too.

So what's bad about this movie-- 1).Probably there are 6 or 7 fight scenes. All of them weren't well choreographed. Sometimes Iko barely hit or push a bad guy which knocked guy down. Sometimes it seems bad guy leaved his guard down on purpose to get a punch or kick.

2).Movie lacks amazing stunt. I saw this movie because it was being compared to Ong-Bak, But I didn't find that epicness here. I could have done all those stunts *sigh*, many of them.

3).There is no fight like 1 on 4, or 1 on 3. They were coming 1 by 1. sometimes there was 1 on 2.

4).They were keep sending bad guys to kill or seize Iko. No bad guy were carrying gun, only sword, knife and an iron rod. They killed their own guy from a gun. Why the hell did anyone use the gun at him. Finally two bosses ended up dead, but they didn't use gun.(mm)

After movie,I was feeling, if I were in this movie as a bad guy, Iko couldn't have done anything. There are many jackie chan's good movies out there of rating 5.2 or 5.5 and those sure are better than this 6.5 rating movie. Watch if I am wrong
