Modus Anomali (2012)

A man claws his way out of a shallow grave and finds himself in the middle of a jungle. He can't remember anything, not even his name but uncovers evidence of a stunningly brutal murder and all sorts of grisly little clues start to pop up.

This is a nice little brutal thriller from Indonesia that at times reminded me of the Spanish sci-fi thriller Timecrimes or even to some extent, of Memento! For some trend in recent years, I guess Indonesia is trying hard to put their name convincingly on global genre-map and as an Indo-flick I must say it's clearly an impressive effort but not above few flaws. They shot the film in English language and though the actor on the lead did his best but the cast overall somewhat failed to deliver a satisfying job. There was a big 'twist' at the 3rd or final act but that truth behind the mystery didn't surprised me much.
