Full Plot Details

In Minangkabau, West Sumatera, Yuda a skilled practitioner of Silat Harimau is in the final preparations to begin his "Merantau" a century's old rites-of-passage to be carried out by the community's young men that will see him leave the comforts of his idyllic farming village and make a name for himself in the bustling city of Jakarta. After a series of setbacks leave Yuda homeless and uncertain about his new future, a chance encounter results in him defending the orphaned Astri from becoming the latest victim of a European human trafficking ring led by the wildly psychotic, Ratger and his right-hand man Lars. With Ratger injured in the mêlée and seeking both his "merchandise" and bloody retribution, Yuda's introduction to this bustling city is a baptism of fire as he is forced to go on the run with Astri and her younger brother Adit as all the pimps and gangsters that inhabit the night hound the streets chasing their every step. With escape seemingly beyond their grasp, Yuda has no choice but to face his attackers in an adrenaline charged, jaw-dropping finale.

BrianOrndorf.com - 8/10 by Brian OrndorfIn dire need of a tighter edit and a few smiles, Merantau is a bizarrely lethargic picture, great with violence, but a complete chore to sit through between the punches.

User Review - 10/10 by Tim KJust watched Merantau. Awesome film! If you have seen 'The Raid' then you'll love this! Merantau made a couple of years before 'The Raid' and has a few actors who have appeared in both especially the outstanding Iko Uwais as the lead. A simple story played out by great performances. Fight scenes brilliantly captured. Superbly directed by the director of both films Gareth Evans.
User Review - 10/10 by LJ DIt did a very good job of showcasing the uniqueness of Indonesian marital arts. It had fairly good plot development for an action movie.
User Review - 10/10 by Jeremy BA martial arts movie as brutal as it is a journey through a guy's coming of age.
User Review - 10/10 by Lance SThis movie should of been Ong-Bak II, imo.
User Review - 10/10 by Santosh SSometimes, a movie like this makes me proud to be an asian. The fight scene are brutal and very good. Iko Uwais and Siska Jessica are very good actors and Uwais is also a good fighter and his moves are smooth. Silat harimau at it's best.
User Review - 10/10 by Favio VEn una villa existe cierta costumbre en la que los varones de cada familia deben emprender un viaje para poderse encontrar con su madurez, para poderse probar ante el mundo y poder regresar a su hogar convertidos en hombres, Yuda ha llegado a la edad para iniciar su viaje y se dirige hacia la ciudad Jakarta para poder probar suerte enseñando Pencak Silat el arte marcial indonesio. Pero las cosas se complican y se ve envuelto en un problema con traficantes de mujeres y grupos pandilleros, pero debe enfrentarse a todo si desea ayudar a la joven Asirt y su pequeño hermano. Artes marciales poco vistas y una buena trama, bastante recomendables.
