The Shadow Strays Netflix Movie Review

[@blackdragon6]

Timo wants to direct Blade for Marvel. He definitely can do both action and horror well.

[@tahnadana5435]

maybe he could direct league of extraordinary gentlemen 2 and retire soon after

[@redcloud2716]

The fact he already made those two genre is making it more perfect

[@szewei85]

Dude is master of both horror x action now🎉🎊

[@salindasa]

Too bad Blade is more or less cancelled.

[@blackdragon6]

@@salindasa they would have never hired him in the first place. They tend to hire little known indie directors with no "baggage" in terms of expectations. So Meh 🤷🏾‍♂️.

[@800Ms-k6n]

As Marvel is still searching for a director of the Blade reboot, can they get Timo Tjahjanto, the director of The Shadows Strays and The Night Comes For Us? I mean, it fits him very well and who knows if he's interested. A few weeks ago, he tweeted a pic of Wesley Snipes' Blade so who knows he might be interested for the job 😊

[@tahnadana5435]

maybe he could direct league of extraordinary gentlemen 2 and retire soon after

[@redcloud2716]

Ikr. Since the night comes for us. Especially with character like the operator. I can see she could be a black widow agent in asia

[@szewei85]

Haha nice

[@Awan_Olya]

i watched it, one of the best action movie in 2024

[@Trektech1980]

Hell yes!

[@Trektech1980]

The Shadow Strays is superb!!!!!!! Top notch action movie.

[@redcloud2716]

I think it would be much more sense if they kinda show us that 13 and monji has more connection way back even before the event happend. I mean shes an assassin. I know they alrady show us since the beginning that she care about something or someone else who has nothing to do with their mission. Like with the geisha girl. But still as an assassin u cant just going on rampage for someone she barely knows. Maybe if they could just lil bit a reason why monji deserve that much effort from her to rescue him. Maybe monji help her in minor stuff or else. Just my opinion

[@ChelloCat]

13 doesn't need a special reason why she cares so much about a boy she just met, she's just a teenage girl who has so much energy and needs to just blow it off at the right person and at the right time....:):)

[@Shawn.bettafish]

I also think the same, why 13 is willing to risk his life just for the sake of a small child he has only met for 2 days. Maybe there is another reason in the next movie. but overall I really like this movie!

[@NoCopyrightMusicNCMOfficial]

​@@Shawn.bettafishDude, if you realize that every 13 sleeps and dreams, she sees his mother's face and deeply misses mom, even though her memories are being erased by the pills she takes daily. So, naturally, this brings up feelings she's unaware of, and she wants to help the boy because they share a similar past.

[@tahnadana5435]

i love that people coming up with all these psychological reasoning to cope on how shitty this movie really is

[@oscarhutahaean]

I still dont know what has to mean by numbering them. Are they hitchers? Is Umbra a 13's stepmom and much question to explain ​@@NoCopyrightMusicNCMOfficial

[@ESFDragxnFistEntertainment]

In the movie it explains this very well. She's a stone cold killer assassin's who is gaining remorefulness from her sins. We see in the movie she takes pills to block her emotions & memories of her past.

[@DhananjayVenuri]

Truly my first indonesian movie and what a high octane and had to close my eyes for few brutal scenes..

[@jadapandy]

Great, gory action film. Very fun. Needs a sequel.

[@szewei85]

Coming soon with Mad Dog as the Grand Master😄😆Based on end credit scene

[@mr.want_oo55]

But storyline so weak

​@@mr.want_oo55 who cares we're here for entertainment and the action

I’m just happy this guy is doing nobody 2 .

[@blackdragon6]

He wants to do Blade for marvel, naturally he's not going to get it.

[@AustinBurke]

Heck yeah

[@Anthonycheesman33]

@@blackdragon6 it’s a good idea so of course they won’t do that lol.

[@blackdragon6]

@@Anthonycheesman33 right 😂

[@CD-bn7el]

Really loved the 1st

[@SuccessforLifester]

I was confused during the scene in Cambodia as i thought the characters are the same and also the ending, which i don't understand and need to research it on the internet

[@jjmanning8621]

This movie was pretty badass

[@LiangHuBBB]

This movie is on the same lvl like Tyler Rake or John Wick movies, but just more brutal and with more violence. It has some of the best action scenes you will see this year, just alone the opening fight scene vs Yakuza ( gives you hella Mortal Kombat vibes ) is one of the sickest fight scenes Ive seen since The Raid. This movie comes from the same director who made The Night Comes For Us. Too bad not many ppl know about this movie.

[@mr.want_oo55]

Before the john wick movie was born, asians have been doing it for a long time

[@szewei85]

The Night got iko vs joe with cecep. Then yayan is coming in future shadow sequel soon.😄😆🫠🫠

[@800Ms-k6n]

Hey Austin, i'm from Indonesia and have been a huge fan of yours for years. Whether we agree or disagree, i'm still interested to see your take especially for this movie that has been under the radar for so many people including the movie critic space on youtube, i'd love to give you an insight on who Aurora Ribero is. She's a young actress who is mostly known for comedy and drama movies (frankly, those two genres including horror are the most popular in Indonesia, we're still lacking in action because we don't have that much of a director who can make as competent as Timo Tjahjanto, there's a thing called horror fatigue here 😅). The reason why Timo cast her is after she saw her in the Indonesian drama, "Like & Share", as the acclaim director said in a press conference a few days ago that I attend and it was so much fun "When it comes to action, anybody who has the will and spirit to train can eventually execute it but you don’t see this humanity in every performer, Aurora has a certain innocence in her eyes that’s one in a million" It's her innocence eyes that convince Timo to cast her. She also trained for 4 months ahead of filming for her action choreography. So yeah, happy for Timo, happy for Aurora, congratulations to everyone who worked on The Shadows Strays. I hope the Indonesian film industry could be recognised more for their amazing stuff. Timo is batshit crazy and i just adore him for that, no one in Indonesia does a huge risk like he does. Timo does has had script problems lately but as for the action stuff, he does not hold back at all, blood and violence is his toys really 😅 And it's a cool coincidence that Aurora started her film debut at 13 years old and here she is playing a character named "13" 😂 Also, i don't know if you know this Austin, but i highly recommend the Indonesian action comedy "The Big 4" also on Netflix, also directed by the guy who made this movie, i really hope you liked it if you get around to watch it someday

[@Art_The_Clownnn]

Bro sampe disni😂😂

[@Pakun-q1v]

Film the Raid mendunia bukan karena peminat film dari Indonesia itu fakta nya... kebanyakan fans the Raid dr negara2 barat bukan dari Indonesia.. jadi pendapat orang Indonesia tentang flm action tu gak penting

[@800Ms-k6n]

@@Pakun-q1v Okay so? Atleast it gave Indonesia a chance to finally made a competent action movie that everybody can appreciate, we don't have to go back to making generic horror roots forever and started to make movies from genres that are very anti mainstream in Indonesia 🤷

[@philipposgeorgantas3236]

It really kept me on for more than two hours ..very nice fighting scenes I loved the in between scenes emotional moments Only I didn’t like that the boy eventually died because I felt that the story doesn’t have a meaning anymore Instead she kept fighting even when the boy died and it was like she didn’t even care about him dying I think this evolution was something I didn’t like and also the fact that president and his son are just getting killed like they are normal thieves is something that really lowers the quality of the story In general I would certainly watch it again for sure

[@MasOne88]

cool! it definitely caught my eye, but i still wasn't sure. now i am

[@nithinbhaskar9023]

Expecting reviews of Uprising Sector 36 Heartstopper S3

[@800Ms-k6n]

Every time Timo Tjahjanto makes an insane action movie, I'm there to see it even if it's just for Netflix. As an Indonesian myself, I couldn't have been more proud of him. He is one of the best Indonesian filmmakers currently working today. There's a reason why Hollywood recruited him to direct the Nobody sequel. Yes, you heard me, remember that Bob Odenkirk action movie? The guy who directed The Shadows Strays and The Night Comes For Us is directing the sequel, they just wrapped filming a few weeks ago and it's slated for an August 2025 release date, so excited! 🙌

[@thePowerPlant]

Timo and Joko Anwar are criminally underrated in the West. Timo has so much skill in both action and horror. You are spot on at him needing something like BLADE where he can flex both his action direction and horror themes. He would also do great at something like Predator, Spawn, or Van Helsing.

[@Si_nengatcha]

Hopefully, he also help in the editing too. Because beautifully shot scenes can look bad because if editing. And American just love to cut - zoom in things, hiding the details

[@szewei85]

Haha nice

[@ChelloCat]

No need gg=ood story just good action....:) its like mortal combat game version

[@sp33d0o]

Badass movie ngl, fuck the haters

13 is like the real Monji's older sister because her face is similar what's conspiracy film

[@Tapavandame]

The first time i saw John Wick,i was hooked by the Wick , but this movie is just action

[@georgehriata]

The graphic is quite good, but the acting is bad, or its because of the script.

[@tutukun]

Awesome movie, one of the best action movies this year

To me the shadow's is somewhat like Black Widow!

Too much CG VFX (blood &gore) in action sequences took me out of the movie, it's a DNF for me unfortunately.

I watched this dubbed and the dialogue is terrible. This feels like a copy from man from nowhere. Watch it subbed or scratch your ears out from the bad dialogue.

@austin burke...i like yours eye....diamond

[@nathanaelwong491]

The thing about Timo's direction, stunning choreography and cinematography but comical over the top set pieces and acting. It was so in Night Comes for Us but it steps up with this one. I kind of understand what the director is going for but I still prefer Night Comes for Us. There's one particular action scene supposed to look cool but I straight up LOL as it's borderline Bollywood over the top in a bad way for me.

[@tommyancharuk9941]

So hard for me to watch a movie not in English… i literally get bored so quick when i have to read the whole time

[@Anthonycheesman33]

It’s dubbed

[@charliebrouun6510]

Lack of practice, bro. The awesome thing is there are such great stories you can discover when you step out of the Hollywood bubble.

[@pareshdalbe]

Try to change your mindsets. English is not the whole world. Nothing is permanent; we are all equally humans, but only language barriers don't mean priority is only English in the world; there are lots of millions of languages you should explore more; otherwise, you are going to live whole pot in your English life.

[@360.Tapestry]

stop it, y'all. i prefer it when people choose to be worse

[@800Ms-k6n]

Yeah that's your problem for not knowing that English language movies isnt the center of the world. I actually learned english by watching movies 🤷
