Yuda (Iko Uwais) is a skilled practitioner of Silat - a very deadly Indonesian martial art. It's now time for him to make the time-honoured pilgrimage from his farming village to the bustling city of Jakarta - a journey known as 'Merantau'. A chance encounter in the city leads Yuda to save Astri and her younger brother from a human trafficking ring. The leader of the gang now seeks bloody retribution. With the gang chasing their every step and with escape seemingly beyond their grasp, Yuda has no choice but to face his attackers in an adrenaline charged, jaw-dropping finale.

Not worth Ong Bak. Found the fight to be quite slow and some of the kicks were looking fake. The storyline was also very weak and the end was dreadful. Ong Bak is a killer next to this.

Great martial arts movie , very simple story, good acting from newcomers to the big screen. Hope the director makes more movies after this.

Great movie. It reminds me of ong-bak.
So if you were a fan of the ong-bak series you will definately like this one. Cool fight scenes and with a decent plot.
Worth watching.

There are some pretty good kung fu sequences in this film but not much else.
The plot is quite simplistic and being, I assume in Indonesian, made it difficult to watch.
