In spite of its Malaysian origins "Blood Brothers: Bara Naga" offers up the kind of action fare you can find anywhere. That's not to say this is a bad film. The action/exposition formula at the core of this film is done extremely well. Its creative, plentiful, well paced and reasonably polished. Where Blood Brothers falls a little short, is in the storytelling department. The out of control, mad bull behaviour, of main character is at odds with the wise, considered leader, presented early on in the film. Its all written down to grief but it still feels a little over cooked and awkward. In summary, an inherently watchable if imperfect action film, from Malaysia. Worth a look.

Absolute garbage 2/10. I have never seen such terrible pacing, shallow characters and nonsensical plot since the last time I watched a Steven Seagal direct-to-video movie back in 2009. The 25 minute intro of this abhorrent piece of mess is just the equivalent of the director just jerking off his member to your face about how badass and alpha the protagonist is. The sequence of the 'blood brother' being framed is underdeveloped and short at best and the plot twist was alright but still made no sense. The lighting and camera work is good but man the dialogue, acting and plot is like watching to homeless people arguing about who's stronger than the other. I have no idea what compelled people in the industry to greenlit this piece of tahi and present it to my face and waste my time. Even the action is so subpar lol, you're better off watch Raid: Redemption and that was released bloody 14 years ago and is still MILES AHEAD better than whatever the hell I just witnessed.
