"It will be the end of a corrupt system!" There's a new Indonesian action thriller arriving to watch soon on VOD in the US titled 13 Bombs in Jakarta, also known as simply 13 Bombs. This intense thriller first premiered and opened in Indonesia last year, and recently played at the 2024 Rotterdam Film Festival a few months ago. A government organization races against time to uncover and stop the mastermind behind the placement of 13 bombs in Jakarta before the city falls into chaos. IFFR adds this intriguing detail: "Loosely inspired by the biggest financial fraud in Indonesian history, Angga Dwimas Sasongko’s smart, taut action thriller 13 Bombs revolves around the promises and treacheries of digital currencies. The narrative weaves together three points of view: those of the entrepreneurs, the bureau, & the militants themselves, who come across not as dramatic abstractions, but full-fledged characters with rational, even humanist motivations." 13 Bombs...

Action blockbusters are not exactly the norm in Asian cinema, particularly outside of China, since the budget usually needed to shoot such a film is definitely a preventative factor. However, when these types of titles do come out, there seem to be from Indonesia, where, along with a number of other Asean countries, is where the epicenter of action/martial arts movies lies. Angga Dwimas Sasongko has come up with a film like that with “13 Bombs”, in a movie that also tries to incorporate some modern elements in the action, namely social commentary, the concept of cryptocurrency and the significant presence of women.

Kellan Lutz ‘The Legend of Hercules’: New Summit release has 0% Rotten Tomatoes approval rating (photo: Gaia Weiss and shirtless Kellan Lutz in ‘The Legend of Hercules’) Starring Kellan Lutz, best known as the hunky and likable vampire Emmett in the Twilight movies, The Legend of Hercules opens today, January 10, 2014, in North America. That’s the good news for Kellan Lutz fans. Now, the bad news: The Legend of Hercules isn’t about to become the next Spartacus — or even the next Gladiator. “The only thing epic about The Legend of Hercules is what a failure it is,” writes Stephanie Merry in the Washington Post, while Newsday‘s Rafer Guzman’s complains that “this painfully feeble version of the strongman story fails on every level, from Lutz’s wooden acting to the styrofoam special effects.” In fact, out of 35 reviews, the Summit Entertainment / Lionsgate Pictures release has a 0% approval rating...

After the suicide bombing of a party in Indonesia, American Marine/FBI agent Jake Travers (Lutz), posing as a grad student, is bent on vengeance but quickly finds that the world’s problems can’t be solved with violence alone. He teams with a Muslim cop Hashim (Bayu) to hunt down a dangerous international jewel thief – with ties to Indonesian terrorists – Malik (Rourke), who has used the explosion as a cover to kidnap a Sultan’s daughter, Sultana (Hasiholan), in a plot to steal the royal treasury.
Following in the footsteps of Taylor Lautner, another Twilight alumni, Kellan Lutz, tries his hand at action movies with Java Heat – a sweat filled thriller that does nothing to stand out from the action movie crowd.

Ritual was originally titled Modus Anomali (Strange Way). This title was filmed in the jungles of Indonesia. And recently, this film was picked up by Screen Media Films for release in North America, this Summer. The film's story does not reveal much.

Kellan Lutz, Mickey Rourke featured in new poster for Java Heat This is actually one of the most popular films we have in our database at the moment and tells of an American in Indonesia who joins forces with a Muslim cop in order to hunt down a terrorist. Connor Allyn, whom I must confess, I've never heard of before, but best of luck to him anyway, directs the film, as well as scripting alongside sibling (I assume) Rob Allyn. Also in the cast are Ario Bayu, Rio Dewanto, Uli Auliani, Mike Duncan and Atiqah Hasiholan. IFC Films distributes the actioner from Margate House, in association with Im Global.

Kellan Lutz (photo), best known for playing Emmett Cullen in the Twilight movies, and Resident Evil actress Spencer Locke, will star in the performance-capture 3D movie Tarzan, adapted from Edgar Rice Burroughs’ classic tale, and to be directed by Animals United’s producers / directors Reinhard Klooss and Holger Tappe. Needless to say, Lutz will bring Tarzan back to life, while Locke will play Jane. The screenplay was written by Klooss, Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs‘ Yoni Brenner and Jessica Postigo, whose sole listed credit on the IMDb is Harald Zwart’s The Mortal Instruments, currently in pre-production. According to The Hollywood Reporter, it updates Burroughs’ story by having Tarzan’s parents killed in a plane crash, the CEO of Greystoke Energies as the film’s chief villain, and Jane as an environmentally conscious heroine. Come to think of it, the first "update" isn’t something really new: Boy’s...

Leading up to the SXSW Film Festival we brought you these two crazy awesome teaser trailers for the Indonesian horror flick Modus Anomali, an English-language thriller from The Forbidden Door filmmaker Joko Anwar. "During a vacation in the woods, a man tries to find his family who mysteriously disappear, while being hunted by a sadistic killer. His only clues are several alarm clocks which seem to tell him about a deadline to something he doesn't know." Rio Dewanto, Hannah Al Rashid, Izziati Amara Isman, Aridh Tritama, Surya Saputra, Marsha Timothy, Sadha Triyudha and Jose Gamo all star in the World Preimere. I was able to catch the film and it was pretty fantastic, featuring a plot twist that'll blow your friggin' mind all over the wall. Sorry to tease, but at least you can enjoy the above new still, alongside the following poster and first clip...

I don’t know what kind of magical mind muddling substances were dissolved into the water coolers during SXSW Festival Programming, but after last night’s World Premiere of Joko Anwar’s Indonesian Horror/Thriller ‘Modus Anomali’, I am beginning to think that perhaps half of the panel just didn’t show up.
Now about this time during a review I would probably go into great detail describing the intricacies of the plot and perhaps the deep seeded sociological issues contained within. The problem is that with Modus Anomali, there was almost no hint of any substantial story. Basically a man wakes up buried alive in the woods, returns to his cabin to discover his wife murdered and children missing, and then proceeds to run around for 80 minutes shouting obscenities in broken English. That’S It! You could plausibly get up after the opening scene, go out and have a nice steak dinner,...
