Just finished watching a Malaysian movie (Yeah, not Malay movie) just now. This is one Malaysian movie that I enjoyed after a long time. It was made in the very unusual genre of action comedy. It tells about a Thai assassin who starts terrorising the City of KL. That started the antics and bumbling movements of police and gangsters alike. Unfortunately, we are left wondering why the hitman hits KL in the first place or who hired him. Maybe the producer (David Teo) has plans for a sequel!... The martial arts sequence is quite nicely choreographed. So were the car chase and the comedy involving the 1-Malaysia gangsters which did not fall flat as it usually does in most Malaysian movies. Some of the high rise building stunts, however, could be better. 'Kongsi' is the name of the film. Go, watch it! You would enjoy it better if you appreciate the intricacies of the Kelantanese dialect and the Penang slang as well like I do. Lu Langsi Lu Mati may mean (in colloquial Malay - Bahasa Pasar) you show off, you die!
