5/10
Messy movie.
28 August 2024
The plot was quite intricate and layered. Set in a dystopian world with very minimal world-building, the film features sci-fi elements that are mostly limited to a few gadgets and references. It's a multi-genre film (six genres!) and includes comedy as well. Interestingly, the movie begins and ends with philosophical undertones and includes several contemplative segments throughout. I found the structure a bit confusing, especially at the beginning, and it felt longer and more demanding than necessary. The frequent use of flashbacks was well-executed, though.

I didn't find Reza Rahadian's performance or his character particularly engaging. On the other hand, Shenina Cinnamon, despite her role being more of a caricature, stood out with her striking "revealing" outfit. Laura Basuki also made an impression in a supporting role.

The soundtrack, much like the film's genre mix, is eclectic and includes some Western-style tracks, which could be seen as a highlight. The film also boasts some impressive visuals. However, some of the dialogue felt repetitive and lacked inspiration. Towards the end, there's an interesting development related to a subplot, though it's almost imperceptible. The 24-hour deadline in the movie lacked any real sense of urgency or tension.
