I watch this movie with optimistic, it got a very exciting premise and quite good reviews, but the direction, writing, and acting is just not able to fulfill my expectation. The character development is quite shallow. I don't have any emotion tied to Jaya, Laras, and character like Dewa should be explored more, you can go on with the story without Dewa because He got a very thin layer. Through things that Jaya've been through should thrill your soul, but I don't feel anything.
I also feel like some shots are taken once and got into the film because of some limitations. The Indonesian language that they use, I can't relate at all, it's like the actors are reading them without truly understand what they're saying. I don't feel any raised tense, It's flat from the beginning to end, I worry about nothing ever happened to the characters. The shots are nothing special, They could've explore the city of Prague more because they have a very beautiful architecture, make us relate more about what kind of city Jaya been living for most of his life.
In conclusion, I definitely will never watch this again, it's a boring one, but among Indonesian films, I think it's quite good. Especially the scene when Jaya waited outside of the embassy. It's just one of few good scenes that somewhat touch you.
