Jakarta Audience Reviews

InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
Abbigail Bush what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
haildevilman Great foundation. The execution? Toss-up.The Nothster plays an ex CIA agent with a recurring romantic nightmare.The agency wants him back, but he keeps running away so...they force him back to Jakarta.Jakarta was mostly used for scenery and atmosphere here. Any city would have given a similar result with this plot.Noth has a girl in his past that he thinks has been nixed. Has she? We head for 'nesia to see. Chase scenes commence. And of course he has an old buddy there. For words from said buddy? "Make it Johnny Walker Black...on me." Hey, he just happened to be in that bar.The acting wasn't bad really. The cast did their best and created some pretty tense moments.The chase into the XXX theater was funny. ("Look at the size of that...PIPE.") And the Indonesian puppet shows lent a bit of flair as well. Even if it had little to do with the story.For fans of Asian based actioners only.
sacchidanand jadye noth shown as ex-CIA agent who run away from Jakarta as he investigate narcotics drug dealers in south east Asia. he live hidden life back in new york. he has always dreams of suzee who she get killed in car accident in Jakarta during drug mafia gun shootout, but he believes that she is not killed it is drama. one day again he thrown back in Jakarta forcefully by CIA again. with his old partners he again start his work to find her & he finds her at last. I had seen this movie on Laser Disc. the producers are Indian & Indian origins. shows real life séances, rainy season, clubs, small lanes, houses in Jakarta. colorful enjoyable movie. good car, human chasing, good action scenes, story plot is some how weak. but over all time pass movie
binkygirl I only watch this film to catch some great glimpses of Chris Noth (aka Mr Big) in an undressed and trim state. He was hot when he was younger, with a great chest and even better looking behind.As for the film, it is poorly written and badly edited. In fact, I've seen student films with better editing. There is literally no character development and in the middle of the film there's an interminably stupid chase scene that caters to the dumbest of Asian stereotypes.
Al-148 An interesting story on an apparently limited budget. Though filmed in an exotic local, the film was riddled with bad cuts. For example, a character is bare headed during a struggle and then appears with a hat a split second later. However, as B-movies go it was better than most. Though it features a token, drop-dead gorgeous femme fatale (Sue Francis Pai), she had an intelligent role and was actually one of the better actors in the film. If you want an entertaining but not mentally taxing action-adventure flick, this is it.
