Laikals The greatest movie ever made..!

Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews

Stephanie There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Cissy Évelyne It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

yarrumgiwdul The plot is simple, yet interesting and well developed. Kudos to the writers for taken their profession seriously and making a refreshing action flick. The dialog is riveting, full of intensity energy. At no point was I confused about where we where in the story or what was happening. Scenes were well sequenced and smoothly transitioned. The effects rivaled any big budget masterpiece like Kung Fury or Starship Troopers.Lutz does a terrific job in his portrayal of an emotionally torn marine in search of vengeance. His acting is only rivaled by his tremendous looks. Each of his scenes keeps you exceedingly enthralled with his stage performance only to be surpassed by several tasteful scenes where he shows off his magnificent physique. Rourke plays an excellent villain. His mysterious accent which is a mix of French, Arabic and drug overdose some times warrants random subtitles throughout the movie. His characters motivation is well rooted in the plot which makes every encounter with him that much more meaningful. The supporting actor Bayu delivers a stellar performance of a Muslim that doesn't trust American's but after a couple wacky action scenes together quickly becomes his best friend.The action scenes remain consistently exciting. The lack of real bullet physics, wonderfully outlandish magazine capacities and weapon reloads keeps the action top notch and none stop. I am anxiously awaiting Java Heat 2 as this is easily one of the best action movies out there today. No doubt Conor Allyn has a long and successful directing career ahead. I highly recommend this masterpiece.

Leonardo Liao I feel bad for Kellan Lutz and Mickey Rourke...just for having their name stuck on this title forever. Where do i start? Story is fine, kinds make believe but at least it's something i can swallow as a viewer. But the acting?? And what the heck is up with Indonesian police and even the Javanese royalty using English to communicate among themselves?? And their prep work is dreadful...none of the crew seems to have any idea how to properly handle firearms nor do they know anything about the Marines. But then again they don't seem to know much about Christian burial rites either...i mean a Christian being prepped for burial in a mosque?? And one other thing...the clash of conflicting information about everything is soooo saddening. The tongs?? Really? In some small third rate city like Jogjakarta??? Not even the Hong Kong triad would be caught dead there, let alone a major crime syndicate like the Tongs. All in all, i feel fortunate that i bought the DVD instead of watching it on the cinema, because i have fast forward to help me navigate through the dreadful show. Because well...like i said, so many mistakes in the making.

keojj-22 This film is listed here:http://www.IMDb.com/search/title? keywords=gay&sort=moviemeter,asc&title_type=feature&year=2013,2013As one of the top 50 "GAY" films released in 2013, this film should be ultra LGBT. The only aspect of the film that remotely triggers thoughts of queer cinema are a couple, very subtle, obscure references to child sex abuse of boys by the main villain. I stress THIS IS NOT GAY!! ...this is sexual violence. It really should not be on the list I linked to. I have made my point. Apparently I must make more points. Sexual abuse is not a reason to include this film in a list of queer cinema as this specific film uses it a meager plot point that i not at all commented upon (until the last 15 minutes) nor investigated at all.

Tony Heck "The how I know, the why I haven't figured out yet." After a suicide bomber strikes in Indonesia, American Marine/FBI agent Jake Travers (Lutz) travels there posing as a graduate student to catch the terrorists behind it. Getting help from a Muslim cop Hashim (Bayu) they begin to uncover a hidden truth that could wind up being more dangerous then suicide bombers. I have to start by saying action movies like this don't really rely to much on acting to keep you interested but Lutz's acting is so bad it's almost distracting. Also Mickey Rourke seems miscast in this. Other then that the movie is not too bad but it is a little slow and hard to stay interested in in a few parts. I would still say it's worth watching but be prepared for a movie that feels longer then it is. There have been many movies about terrorist threats like this to come out lately and while this is OK it's not one of the better ones. Overall, worth watching but nothing to rush and see. I give it a C+.
