CommentsXp Best movie ever!

Borserie it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.

Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Glenn I saw most of this film the other night on cable. Lots of guns and shooting and killing. For me the most interesting part was that it was filmed in and around Yogyakarta since I was just there a couple of weeks ago. So it was fun to see locations where I have just been.But frankly I can't understand how they got permission to film at Borobudur - a UNESCO World Heritage site. A place of such peace being used as the backdrop for gun play seems quite strange to me. Mickey Rourke's accent seems to go from French to German back to French. I agree it didn't make sense. The plot is fairly convoluted. But I don't suppose people watch these kinds of films expecting Citizen Kane. Kellan Lutz's nude scene was gratuitous (not that I am complaining...)

Leonardo Liao I feel bad for Kellan Lutz and Mickey Rourke...just for having their name stuck on this title forever. Where do i start? Story is fine, kinds make believe but at least it's something i can swallow as a viewer. But the acting?? And what the heck is up with Indonesian police and even the Javanese royalty using English to communicate among themselves?? And their prep work is dreadful...none of the crew seems to have any idea how to properly handle firearms nor do they know anything about the Marines. But then again they don't seem to know much about Christian burial rites either...i mean a Christian being prepped for burial in a mosque?? And one other thing...the clash of conflicting information about everything is soooo saddening. The tongs?? Really? In some small third rate city like Jogjakarta??? Not even the Hong Kong triad would be caught dead there, let alone a major crime syndicate like the Tongs. All in all, i feel fortunate that i bought the DVD instead of watching it on the cinema, because i have fast forward to help me navigate through the dreadful show. Because well...like i said, so many mistakes in the making.

Herza Suwandaru Java Heat seemed to be the embodiment of slick collaboration between Western and Eastern cultures that try to give a different perspective on Indonesia. The director Conor Allyn want to give an overview to the Hollywood industry that Islam in Indonesia is not as they think, through this film he tried to provide interesting facts about the gentle Javanese culture and harmony among religious people. It was known to have been felt directly by Conor who have experienced the film trilogy Red White and living in Indonesia about 4 years.The involvement of two Hollywood actors in Java Heat is Mickey Rourke and Kellan Lutz, would have no need to doubt. Rather interesting in this film is how the collaboration of actors / actresses from Indonesia to compete acting with Mickey and Kellan. Ario Bayu, Rio Morrow, Atiqah Hasiholan, Mike Muliadro, Tio Pakusadewo, Astri Nurdin, Verdi Solaiman, Frans Tumbuan and Uli Auliani, considered able to work with a very slick and display the best qualities in this film.In addition to showing the class action, the audience will also be invited to see the sights of Yogyakarta and Borobudur Temple is very intriguing. Keep in mind, Java Heat is an international movie that could be a 'vehicle' of the actors / actresses of our national towards Hollywood, as well as introducing Indonesian culture more broadly.Overall, the film, which cost up to Rp 145 billion is very interesting and could be a great spectacle especially for lovers of action movies.

kosmasp I guess I was expecting some really lame b-action movie and I got a pretty exciting one instead. Not complaining mind you. Quite the opposite, the main actor here does fulfill everything a main character of such a movie has to do and/or be. It's not only his physique that is right, but also his presence. His relationship with another character tries to do something and might fail here and there, but it's still accomplishes a lot of things, story-wise.Of course it is not so much the story (or any message, if you want to read one into it), that will make or break the movie, but the action. While I like Rourke, he does seem a bit stale playing this role. It's a shame, a better villain, would have also been a better movie. As it is, it is decent and worth a watch
