Finding new and inventively cruel ways to shuffle henchmen off this mortal coil, the director levels up his trademark use of the silat style of martial arts, overkilling the concept of overkill.

7.5/10

In terms of action movies, The Shadow Strays has it all. Enough story to keep you engaged, some of the best fight sequences you will see all year, and a protagonist who you can root for, even when you know next to nothing about her.

For action cinephiles, it really doesn’t get better than a film like this. Tjahjanto continues to elevate the genre, while softly refining his craft with each outing.

7.5/10

The Shadow Strays uses this simplistic story as a vehicle for creative action sequences, a great lead character, and more than a few kick-ass moments. It pushes the brutality to its limits, and maintains its momentum through a rather lengthy run-time.
