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.

The excess action and violence, is compensated by a coherent narrative, and some humorous scenes.

The array of characters is amusing, counting on rather good performances in this introduction to Indonesian cinema. A movie that is beyond any criticism. It is not an artistic endeavor, does not strive to be, nor is it a bucolic conceptualization about destiny. This action in its purest form, punctuated with comedy in its simplest form (still funny, though).
