Action. Drama. Thriller Uwais plays a young man who washes ashore, an amnesiac with a serious head injury whose past comes back to haunt him shortly after being nursed back to health by a young doctor. Violence ensues. Sweet, sweet violence.

	Author	Review
United States	Dennis Harvey Variety	"Fans of extreme Asian genre action won't care that things eventually grow somewhat predictable and repetitive"	NEU
United Kingdom	Wendy Ide Screendaily	"The plot serves to deliver the main point of the film: the exceptionally visceral action sequences. On that level, the film delivers, unflinchingly and unflaggingly"	POS
United Kingdom	David Parkinson Empire	"What it lacks in finesse, this brutal actioner more than makes up for in bullish bravura and technical slickness (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Kevin Jagernauth The Playlist	"Kinetic momentum is consistently underdone by the film's bland story."	NEG
United States	Justin Lowe The Hollywood Reporter	"Stamboel and Tjahjanto’s nimble approach maintains a compelling perspective on the key set pieces without overstaging scenes or crowding them with too many extras"	POS
