Baik Punya Cilok


" eh, best sial Baik Punya Cilok, you gotta watch it dude, its hillarious"

Baik Punya Cilok? I was quietly thinking to myself and wondering the credibility of this statement, i have not been a fan of Malaysian Films, well.. the recent ones like GK1-3 and all this ANak Mami and all that, i mean, there are people who appreciate those films. let me tell you now, i am not one of those people.

SO yes, here we go, before anything, let me introduce you the film's premise.

4 fishing buddies, best friends, each with totally different backgrounds decide to rob a pawn shop in order to "steal back" one of the characters Grandmother's locket that sadly got hit wit some pretty high interest with regards to the debt. So thats the story... kind of

I must say, i wa stold that this is something like Lock Stock, so i wwatched this film with the initial feeling that it could have been a Melayu version of the show in some way. I must say, in my opinion although that this film has elements reminiscent to those caper buddy comedy films such as Lock Stock, Snatch and what not this film posessed some original interesting elements.

The story had some pretty interesting twists, with what i must say full of interesting characters, look out for the "jiwang" hard man of the gang played so well by Awie.

One thing i enjoyed about this film was the humour and the dialogue *which over the past few days have been quoted endlessly among us friends* , it wasnt over the top and the humor was obvious yet somewhat subtle, something which i personally enjoy, There were some brilliant performances as i said by the likes of Awie and some notable cameo appearances by Harith Iskandar and Ida Nerina and many more.

I am running short of time here as i have to get back to my long delayed essay(s) , so this is basically just a shout out to watch this film.

gotta run
