Headshot

Indonesia has its action star, and Iko Uwais shows that he can handle any film that is written specifically for him. He is good not only in action sequences but also in those where he has to demonstrate a bit more of his acting skills. The film "Zásah" is very bourne-esque, but still has its own style and great action scenes. (26/07/2017)

When two people do the same thing, it's not always the same. Characters lacking depth, a script without substance and the imaginative action scenes of Gareth Evans have been replaced by brutality and mechanics. Headshot is not a downright bad film, but other than the superbly executed action, it has nothing else. The Raid is miles ahead, and even The Night Comes for Us, which is relatively close to Headshot, is at least a head better because it had a better plot, neon lights, and more coherent visuals with a more elaborate and uncharacteristically stylized carnage. Headshot comes out as the least attractive of this trio, but it’s still decent craftsmanship. As a showcase of fights, it’s fine. (01/07/2020)
