I still remember the first time I watch a movie in theater. It's a Malay movie's (Castello,depicting julie's biscuit as main cast), ever since I would say to myself never ever to bother myself to watch any other Malay movies (of course I haven't had chances to watch U-Wei movie's, some say he is maestro). I would never ever waste a single ringgit to watch a full loads of crap. Not that I sense nothing good in Malaysian made movies, it just I had sophisticated taste whenever it comes about my hobies. My officemate for instance always criticize selection of movies I watched. I had a very broad genre of movies I like to watch and I don't really had soft spot for all action movies.
Back to the point, ever since then I seldom watch Malay movies. However, recently a friend suggested me to watch anak halal. Reluctantly, I watched it, despite I thought he was actually exaggerating on how the good the movie was and so on. I kept the movie for a quite a long time. As usual, I'll spend my Saturday and Sunday watching movies. So I took out Papadom by Afdlin Shauki (afdlin movies on other hand was in its own quality, unlike typical malay movies comedy, they weren't slapstick) and anak halal.
To my astonishment, anak halal was in its own par. Nothing to compare with typical Malay movies. Anak halal definitely in my all time best malay movies list. Well, I would definitely suggest my friends who haven't watched this movie yet to try watch it. Though the dialogue is still quite rigid, frankly, as a whole it is still okay. Villain character portrayed by Zul Huzaimy and the other two guys was perfect. The movie flows is equally perfect.
Though there are still enormous void to be filled, overall, anak halal isn't too shabby. For those who craves for Remp-It, Bohsia and Impak maksima, anak halal is way better.
