yesh, it is a local production a.k.a Malay movie. Im not being racist, but i think everyone will assume that only Malay will watch Malay movies. but hey, if it is a nice movie, we shouldn't classify it under the racial category right?
like i said, it is an entertaining show, that made me laughed all night long in the cinema. so to say, it is definitely better than some Hollywood romance comedy.
just in case u don't know about the story, here's the synopsis i copied from a website. i didn't watch the first movie "Evolusi KL Drift", but the story is simple and kinda easy to be understood. not much of confusion.
Racing life between Zack and Sham has not ended yet. Zack, an illegal racer before, now is a professional drifter. After the accident, Sham no longer drifts because of his broken leg and has to walk with the help of crutches. Then comes a female professional drifter named Aleeya. Joe, who managed to escape from death from the accident, wants revenge on Zack. Joe's assistant Ery too wants revenge on Zack because his best friend Karl got locked up in jail because of him. Joe wants to monopolise the whole drug business syndicate in KL, where Inspector Kamal suspects him for crimes that involve deaths.
they started the movie with a catchy theme song, although i don't really like Malay songs, but that song was really catchy. and a little bit of "sing-along" song. haha, guess we got a new song in karaoke!
the things i like about the movie:
1. Sham is a good actor. i don't know how to define a good or a bad actor. but from i see, he is obviously better than Zack, the main character. oh ya btw, did i say that the main character in the movie is also the director of the film?
2. the racing scene was quite professional. racing on a street. racing in a factory near Port Klang. (haha, we recognize some familiar places in the movie!). it surprise me that the way they choreographed the racing scene are actually as good as those we watch in Hollywood films!
3. i think my BM improved a little bit. brings back some of the BM words which i have long forgotten. ex: didakwa = accused. and many more!
yet, some ridiculous/doesn't make sense part in the movie:
1. there's one character with long hair, looks like a mixture of Malay and Chinese. he is freaking weird. he speaks Malay with a typical Chinese accent. (lu jangan tipu gua). then when he speak Cantonese, he speak with a Malay accent! wth? a very random character i would say.
2. despite of their professional editing in the racing scene, when comes to lovey dovey romance scene, the director/scriptwriter was still a amateur. there was no chemistry between Zack and Aleeya though they were supposed to be a couple. they looked damn awkward together.
of course again, all those are my humble opinions. not everybody thinks the same as me. but i do appreciate the effort of the production team. i heard that in order to produce a real accident scene, they actually burnt down a couple numbers of cars!
and many people thought that local racing films must be staring Proton Wira, Saga, Waja etc. but....the impressive list of cars deployed in this film include a Nissan 350z, Nissan Skyline R34, Toyota Supra MkIV, Mazda RX7 FD3S, Nissan Silvia S13, Nissan Silvia S14 and a BMW e39 5 series!
so who says Malaysia not Boleh? who knows few years later we have Evolusi KL Drift 3 in 3D!
6/10.
ps: although it was really funny, i didn't dare to laugh loudly in the cinema, plainly because i was surrounded by all Malays and if i offended them, oppppsssss....
