Review : Merantau

In Minangkabau, West Sumatra, Yuda a skilled practitioner of Silat Harimau is in the final preparations to begins his “Merantau” a century’s old rites-of-passage to be carried out by the community’s young men that will be see him leave the comforts of idyllic farming village and make a name for him self in the bustling city of Jakarta.
After a series of setbacks leave Yuda homeless and uncertain about his new future, a chance encounter result in him defending the orphaned Astri from becoming the latest victim a Europan human trafficking ring led by wildy psychotic. Ratger and his right-hand man Luc.
With Ratger injured in the meele and seeking both his “merchandise” and bloody retribution. Yuda’s introduction to this bustling is a baptism of fire as he is forced to go on the run with Astri and his young brother Adit as all pimps and gangsters that inhabit the night hound the street chasing their every step.
With escape seemingly beyond their gasp. Yuda has no choice but to face his attackers in an adrenaline charged. Jaw-dropping finale.
