The Courier - Not Even Olga Kurylenko's Awesome Action Performance could Help this Movie Due to its Terrible Writing

I saw the poster of this movie in the Coming Soon section of several cinemas I've been to in the past few months. But only yesterday the movie had its wide release (albeit only in 1 cinema chain). Once again for this type of movie which was unclear of the quality, I opted to see it by myself without the company of my wife. I would let her know later on if it is worth seeing. Anyway, we should go to the movie details now.

Brief Story Line

A mysterious woman with unknown background simply called Courier (Olga Kurylenko - Johnny English Strikes Again, Oblivion etc) was hired to deliver a package. However, what she did not know was her latest assignment would get her entangled with an assassination attempt on a key witness Nick (Amit Shah - Final Score etc) who was guarded by FBI and Interpol led by agent Simmonds (Alicia Agneson).

Akhir Kisah Cinta si Doel - A Review by Yennymakanmulu

Few weeks ago, I saw the various advertisements and trailer to this third movie in Si Doel's trilogy which I had seen the first and second movie with my wife. It was said to be released on 23rd January 2020 but we only got the chance to see it on Sunday. Unlike in the previous two movies, this time I would leave the writing to my wife who had done a fabulous job in giving her review of this final movie (in Bahasa) which I would share below.

[MOVIE] Akhir Kisah Cinta Si Doel

Sejak Kamis 23 Januari 2020, Akhir Kisah Cinta Si Doel udah nongol di bioskop2 kesayangan. Tapi berhubung gw ada special screening film lain di hari yang sama, jadi baru hari Minggu 26 Januari 2020 gw tonton itu film. Sebetulnya hubby udah suruh gw nonton Kamis itu siang2. Tapi kan dari pelem nomor 1 ke pelem nomor 2, nontonnya selalu bareng hubby. Jadi gw tunggu bisa barengan deh. Yuk buruan ditonton finale dari trilogi ini yang disutradarai dan ditulis sendiri oleh Rano Karno, biar kejawab gituuuuu semua tanda tanyanya.

Kalo Si Doel The Movie kisahnya seputar pertemuan kembali Doel (Rano Karno) dengan Sarah (Cornelia Agatha) dan anak mereka Dul (Rey Bong), SDTM2 seputar kegelisahan Zaenab (Maudy Koesnaedi), naaaah di AKCSD ini udah harus banget deh mengakhiri kegalauan semua pemainnya. LOL. Dari awal, perasaan kita ikut diajak naik turun bak rollercoaster, sekarang selayaknya lah kita dikasi akhir dari kisah cinta mereka. Bang Doel HARUS memilih.

Start Up - A Nice Enough Drama Movie about Growing Up

My wife and I were not really aware about this movie as it did not get the hype and huge advertisement by the cinemas that showed the film. I only realized it when I saw the tweet from one of the twitter account about movies in Indonesia that I followed and when we were looking for movies we could see in CGV. So off we went to see the film yesterday noon. OK let's go straight to it then.

Brief Story Line

Two best friends Go Taek-Il (Park Jung-min - Tazza: One Eyed Jack etc) and Woo Sang-pil (Jung Hae-In - While You Were Sleeping TV series etc) were struggling to make something out of their young lives. Taek-Il was living with his authoritative mother (Yum Jung-ah - A Tale of Two Sisters, Sky Castle TV series) who was a former volleyball athlete, while Sang-pil was living with his grandmother.
