Well directed and acted but the script is unrealistic and naive. Passable if you like violent entertainment.

Not since "Rush Hour" has there been two more mismatched investigators. Jake Wilde (Kellan Lutz- Matt Damon light) teams up with an Indonesian policeman, Lieutenant Hashim (Ario Bayu) to go after the killer of the Sultana (Atiqah Hasiholan). She was the Princess Di of Indonesia. Malik (Mickey Rourke) soon appears as the bad guy who uses reluctant Jihadists to steal art and jewels. The plot doesn't have any real twists, although the identity of Jake changes from scene to scene. This is a "me too" crime action drama that never grabs you because the characters are written so bland. I felt like I was watching a serious Bollywood production without the dance numbers. The film has some interesting scenes, but for the most part is not worth a rental. Parental Guide: No F-bombs. Brief male nudity (Kellan Lutz glute)

This film is listed here: http://www.IMDb.com/search/title? keywords=gay&sort=moviemeter,asc&title_type=feature&year=2013,2013 As one of the top 50 "GAY" films released in 2013, this film should be ultra LGBT. The only aspect of the film that remotely triggers thoughts of queer cinema are a couple, very subtle, obscure references to child sex abuse of boys by the main villain. I stress THIS IS NOT GAY!! ...this is sexual violence. It really should not be on the list I linked to. I have made my point. Apparently I must make more points. Sexual abuse is not a reason to include this film in a list of queer cinema as this specific film uses it a meager plot point that i not at all commented upon (until the last 15 minutes) nor investigated at all.

After Mickey Rourke gave his deservedly highly praised performance in "The Wrestler", I thought that from that point on, his career would be in a permanent rebound. But just a few years later, Rourke is back making straight to DVD movies, "Java Heat" being one of them. In fairness, this particular straight to DVD movie is nowhere as bad as some of Rourke's past efforts in the genre. Some of the action sequences aren't bad, and we are given an interesting look in many corners of Indonesia. However, the movie is both too long and too slow for the most part - it should have been tightened during the scripting stage. And Rourke doesn't come across very well, with his puffy face and his dialogue often spoken in a mumble that makes it hard to understand what he's saying at times. From this movie, I now think that the remainder of Rourke's career will be stuck in the direct to DVD market and that no one will give him another chance at something better. Too bad.

Another movie from far east, Indonesia. Clearly this is an action movie, if you like action, this movie could be your weekend options. Quite entertaining. A lot of action in there. Tells the story of a special forces anti-terrorism cooperation with an American citizen solving terrorism cases. Speaking of the actors may not be so well known, but their acting is quite good. In the end, the film is worth watching. presents the story from the largest Muslim country in the world. Where many terrorists were arrested and prosecuted. From 1 to 10 I give 6.5

To start with, a very well sorted plot, story and good screenplay. The movie keeps getting you interested even in some dull scenes. Overall a very well written script and screenplay….good acting by Ario Bayu…I thought he did an excellent job in this movie. Yeah…action is missing in some scenes but there is enough to enjoy !!… would have been a great movie if there were some more action packed scenes. I don't want to take away the credit from the director….he did a nice job but he could have done better with all the ingredients he had (plot, story, actors and locations)….nevertheless decent action flick. Recommended from my side :-)
