The Big Four is an action/adventure/comedy movie directed by Timo Tjahjanto starring Abimana Aryasatya, Putri Marino, Arie Kriting, Lutesha and Kristo Immanuel.
An entertaining, action-packed movie that has the virtue of not taking itself too seriously. Two hour and half of over-the-top action and comedic moments.
Premise
A by-the-book female detective teams up with four down-on-their-luck assassins to investigate her father’s murder.
About the Movie
In the first scene a child is left in the care of an orphanage, and we will soon find out that it is in fact an organ farm. What follows is a blood-fest of action, with kicking and punching, shooting and heads being blown off. And just like that, the tone is set in this feature about a team of vigilantes trained by the Big Boss, Petrus (the father), who will combat any and all injustices.

"Once we go in, father's dream will be destroyed." Netflix has revealed an official trailer for The Big 4, an Indonesian action comedy from acclaimed Indonesian genre filmmaker Timo Tjahjanto. It's debuting on Netflix in December in just a few more weeks. The film tells the story of an elite assassin targeted by murderous gangsters after sparing a girl's life during a massacre. Four hitmen who have hung up their swords must return to the game when they encounter a virtuous police officer with a mission to catch a heinous villain who always escapes authorities. Starring Putri Marino, Abimana Aryasatya, Lutesha, Kristo Immanuel, and Arie Kriting, with Marthino Lio, Michelle Tahalea, Kho Michael, and Budi Ros.
