Reviews
Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
Duyung is my favorite film of 2008. Their chemistry between Saiful Apek and Maya Karin was awesome. The underwater scenes look beautiful, the entire village in Sabah look beautiful too. The cinematography looks great as well. This movie is released 10 years ago.
