In essence, Vengeance is an action romance, but what ultimately sets it apart––aside from the brilliant tonal shift and stellar character work––is the very Indonesian context Edwin thrusts into the story.

Ajo Kawir is one of the most ruthless fighters in the Javanese underground. He fears nothing, and is feared by those around him. But behind all of his machismo is a secret: he is impotent. When he falls in love with a tough female boydguard, he is left wrestling with his masculinity like never before.

What are critics saying?
Edwin declines to make a choice between idiosyncrasy and action, and his work winds up feeling like a loosely related assembly of material instead of a finished film.
An adrenaline-pumping action fest that is ironic in many respects, Vengeance Is Mine, All Others Pay Cash swerves towards the mystical and the spiritual in the latter half, becoming a earnest and potent critique on the trappings of masculinity.
Edwin keeps the tone machismo-deflating and goofy, and the film on its feet between fights. Our leads have enough chemistry when they’re throwing down that their characters’ problematic love life together seems immaterial.
