I think Iko Uwais already resigned from his daytime job when he starred in Merantau


* GunsAreWorthless: The primary appeal of this film is the silat fight. Both sides, though armed with heavy rifles, eventually settle on hand-to-hand combat.

* BloodKnight: Mad Dog, who considered shooting people with guns no different than ordering a take-out and feels that beating people with his fists is the real deal and much more fun.

* GunsAreWorthless: The primary appeal of this film is the silat fight. Both sides, though armed with heavy rifles, eventually settle on hand-to-hand combat. Kinda justified for the good guys, considering they pretty much run out of bullet in the beginning of the movie. The bad guys, not so much, being that this is a drug lord fortress, it's weird if they run out of guns that fast.



* StarMakingRole: After this movie, Iko Uwais resigned from his daytime job as telcom trucker.

Titled originally Serbuan Maut (Deadly Assault), directed by Gareth Evans, and starring martial artist Iko Uwais.

Deep in the heart of Jakarta's slums lies an impenetrable derelict apartment building which became a safe house for the world's most dangerous killers and gangsters. The rundown apartment block has been considered untouchable to even the bravest of police. Cloaked under the cover of pre-dawn darkness and silence, an elite team is tasked with raiding the building in order to take down the notorious drug lord who runs it. But when a chance encounter with a spotter blows their cover and news of their assault reaches the drug lord, the building's lights are cut off and all exits are blocked. Stranded on the 6th floor with no way out, the unit must fight their way through the city's worst criminals to survive their mission.
