Watch The Intruder For Free

hyped garbage

A Masterpiece!

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Here's an Indonesian rip-off of the RAMBO films, hilarious because it is so incompetently made. Nobody makes films like they do in Indonesia and this is just as crazy in some ways as the horror and fantasy films made in that country. The plot involves an individual named Rambu (yep, he even wears a red bandanna for the finale - how obvious can you get?) who is hired by a shady organisation to fight crime. The big surprise is that his boss is as crooked as the enemy they are fighting, so Rambu basically kills all of the bad guys in the movie at the end of the film in an anti-climatic and poorly-staged action sequence, full of cars exploding for no reason and people dying unconvincing deaths. The film is packed with action throughout, with loud sound effects dubbed in. Most of it is routine hand-to-hand stuff but with some amusing exceptions detailed below.The dubbing is along the lines of "Let's kill that Intruder now!" and "I'm going to kill you!", cheesily overemphasised and the words quite ridiculous. At a model show, one of the girls is ordered to "show him your chest!" by her cruel captor. There are continuity errors galore and the acting is about as laboured as you might expect. The only non-Asian in the cast is the lean and muscular lead Peter O'Brian, who wears a single expression throughout the movie and overacts all the time with much hilarity all round. The film depicts an unpleasant sadistic attitude towards women, with girls being raped and horrifically mutilated and murdered (at least that's the impression I get, as the British print has been heavily cut). To make matters worse the revenge taken on the bad guys who perpetrated the crimes is nowhere near as bad as the violence they commit, instead they die in quick explosive deaths.THE INTRUDER is worth watching for bad movie lovers for the crazy scenes scattered throughout. One is at the beginning when the Intruder gets in a fight with a couple of thugs and uses a BALL to repel them, repeatedly bouncing the rubber missile off their heads and knocking weapons from their hands! The same ball turns up later in the movie to knock off another couple of baddies. The highlight of the film for me comes when the Intruder goes to rescue a captured girl, arriving in a covered tricycle. Soon after his friends, all in identical matching tricycles, turn up and battle the bad guys who ride mopeds. What follows is one of the silliest battles you'll ever see which ends with a man falling onto the front of two bikes and being propelled through a brick wall! There is also plenty of violence with people being machine-gunned by shoddy effects work and a fair amount of sex, which has been recorded over by a prude on the video I saw, with clips of hairdressing and NEIGHBOURS! Which is the more offensive?! Although the unpleasant misogyny leaves a bad taste in the mouth, THE INTRUDER is so poorly made and silly that it's impossible to take seriously, instead watch it for a good laugh!

"You really love to look for trouble, don't you man". These words, spoken by our hero's doomed best friend Bobby, are at the heart of this haunting psychological urban western. Not since the days of John Ford's collaborations with John Wayne has there been such a persuasive portrait of the mental anguish suffered by the men who exist outside of societies remit, forever condemned to stalk the badlands.Men like Alex Tarambuan, or Rambu to his friends. As essayed with skill and clarity by Peter O'Brian, he is a man unable to hold down any job, such is the rage and bitterness inside, which he regularly takes out on the pitiless criminal element, personified in a brilliant opening scene by his nemesis, "Charlie the Hit-man". Totally reliant on his long suffering girlfriend Jenny (a touching, sensitive performance from Yenni Farida), he is absolutely one of the outcasts. This world, located on the outskirts of downtown Jakarta (viewed briefly in one stunning cityscape), has no need for men of honour, dignity and simplicity like Rambu.After the horrendous rape and subsequent murder of Jenny (an sadistically elongated sequence, staged with great skill and precision by director Jopi Burnama in one of many bravura set pieces), Tarambuan turns his grief into unholy anger, and decides to do the impossible – take on single handed outrageously evil crime lord John White (a sinister, glowering Craig Gavin).What follows is nothing short of an existentialist journey into Rambu's psyche, with O'Brian's unflinching performance as a man driven by emotions he barely comprehends himself coming to the fore. At this point, some extremely fine performances emerge from the intense din – the legendary Dana Christina is magnificent as Clara, hard bitten moll to White; Harry Capri, pilling on the sexual ambiguity as Steven, personal assistant to the shady Mr Andre (Kaharudin Syah, on typically fine form, this time blitzing his goody goody "Stabilizer" image).But the stand out is undoubtedly Adang Mansyur, as Rambu's mirror image nemesis Charlie. He's detestable certainly but also rather pathetic (witness him bitch slapped by his superior in one shocking scene), but played with great empathy by Mansyur. He is symbolic of the hierarchal structure of the crime network portrayed. When his grimy villainy is replaced by Craig Gavin's more measured approach as White, the film looses a certain spark. Having said that, Gavin has some choice moments - a scene of wanton intimidation and attempted rape on the daughter of local big cheese Hendrick (curiously never seen) resonates with mania and menace.And despite the emphasis on character through action and a decidedly anarchic, intentionally messy feel, some of the action set pieces are up there with the best. Indeed, a second act rescue competes with the village raid in Coppola's inferior "Apocalypse Now", if you replace helicopters with adapted milk floats, and underlines Burnama and screenwriter Deddy Armand's feel for combining heart stopping action with a sense of the surreal.Burning with intensity and genuine fire, "The Intruder" has enough ideas to fill several movies. Full of twists and turns, unexpected ambiguity (witness the extraordinary homosexual overtones in a scene between O'Brian and Capri, two master's at work ala De Niro & Pacino in Michael Mann's "Heat") and award worthy acting, this is an experience you won't want to miss.

This sets the standard for all other B-Movies and contains everything: great action, amazingly funny dubbing, dubious script continuity, characters who influence the plot but don't actually appear in the film, an outstanding soundtrack and super evil villains. Rather than attempt to sum up this Herculean effort by the likes of Peter O'Brian and Craig Gavin, I've listed the main 10 things that this film has taught me:1) The best way to pressure people is to kidnap their young and beautiful daughter. 2) Random Australian soap stars may appear during battle scenes. 3) You shouldn't store the only things you own in a basket, they will be destroyed. 4) Lead pipes are often supplied at dinner evenings should you wish to destroy the tables. 5) If you're the hero, it's fine to allow the villain to shoot at you from point blank range before whistling for assistance as it's likely the gun will be unloaded. 6) Don't be alarmed, the sound of footsteps may continue even after you sit down. 7) "Why?" is a perfectly reasonable response to questions regarding your constant involvement in other people's problems. 8) In the space of 24hrs following the brutal murder of your wife, it is fine to start pulling other woman and also 24 hours is about the time it takes between meeting someone and declaring that they're "like a father" to you. 9) If your name is Bobby and you have a very minor role as the Hero's friend, there's a very good chance you'll die. 10) Always inform people that they've cut you when they attack you with a knife, this may not be clear to them. Watch this! You won't be disappointed!!

This is possibly the most daunting task I have ever undertaken. My unbridled love for this film urges me to write a review, yet as a mere mortal with only an A-Level B in English, I fear my poorly worded ramblings will not do this work of art justice. The Intruder, known simply to its admirers as "Rambu" follows the exploits of "Alex Termabuan, aka Rambu", an "unemployed bum" who "loves justice and hates crime". If one were to have a criticism of this film, it could be that possibly the best scene is the opening one, but such arguments could go on for days, nay, weeks, and would be quite fruitless. I think i'll avoid going into massive detail on the film, or i'll be here all day. Know this, this film affected not only myself, but my friends/co-appreciators so much that recently, we took the liberty of actually calling Parkit Films in Indonesia, in the hope of speaking with legendary director Yopi Burnama. Unfortunately, after being patched through to the "English speaker", it emerged that she could say only "yes" and "ok". But fear not, we have been thwarted only temporarily, and the logistics of a trip to Indonesia in search of Cast, Crew and Memorabilia are being examined. Not only does this film make me laugh out loud every time I watch it, my conversations are littered with quotes from the film, and it's a great hangover cure. As described by a fellow fan Bob, Rambu is "a hard-hitting,action packed, psychological thriller." Anyone interested in viewing this film will find it almost impossible to find, so please do not hesitate to contact me. Also, legendary fans Shep and Bob actually produced a theme tune to the film, containing the backing music and a plethora of the best quotes from the film. Other reviews will hark back to classic scenes, such as the "tennis ball projectile", or the battle of the Tuk-tuk's versus the motorcycle's. I simply don't have the time to go into detail on my favourite scenes. This review is merely to pay homage to what is the greatest film I have ever seen. Thankyou for reading, I'm off to watch it again.
