This is a first for me. Can’t say that I’ve ever seen a Malaysian movie, let alone a Malaysian action comedy, but I’m immediately intrigued by this unique proposition. Malaysia isn’t well known for its cinema, and I didn’t get the impression that it was when I visited the country a few years ago, but I’m open to anything and this trailer for Kongsi has substantially piqued my interest in the film.
The movie is about a couple of guys, a hitman and a sheriff (Fizo Omar and Shaheizy Sam), who happen to get caught in the middle of a gang war. It features some very comical bits that you would expect to see in an action comedy but rarely ever do, in addition to the traditional action sequences, explorsions, etc. I tip my hat to you, Mr. Farid Kami (the director), for a job well done.
I doubt this film will ever reach America but it does come out in Malaysia on May 12th, for those of you who happen to be in that area of the world over the next few weeks.
Synopsis:
Kongsi focuses on the investigation done by ASP Shariff (Fizo Omar) towards the killing of triad members in Kuala Lumpur. Various triad members are in shambles when they discover the presence of a hired killer Tumulak (Shaheizy Sam), who committed the killings to settle his debt. Asps Shariff is unable to pinpoint who’s to be blame since the cunning Tumulak works alone. In truth, the crimes are masterminded by Kimpedu (Zul Handyblack), who hired Tumulak to stir the nest of the triads as Kimpedu plans to take control of all of Kuala Lumpur.
