At Stake

Krishto D. Alam's 2017 Indonesian film follows four brothers trying to raise money for their father's medical bills. When they cannot find it, they take a dangerous route. The film brings the differences between the brothers forward. One wants a quick solution, another says stop; the narrative does not soften the consequences of the decision and makes the fights part of the plot. Adipati Dolken and Aliando Syarief appear. The tone is fast and the violence hard. The production is mid-scale. Who it's for: those who like Indonesian action drama. Who it's not for: viewers troubled by violence shown in detail.
