Polis Evo 2 (2018)
Polis Evo 2: New flavor, entertaining with remarkable cinematography & editing
I am a strong advocate for supporting local films, however, I must admit that I approached local film with a certain level of skepticism regarding the overall quality of production.
Fortunately, Polis Evo 2 exceeded my expectations & showcased the capabilities of our local filmmakers.
I must say, it was a fantastic cinematic experience. One aspect that stood out to me was the remarkable showmanship displayed by Shaheizy Sam. His performance in "Evo 2" showed significant improvement & added depth to the movie. Zizan Razak, as always, delivered an entertaining performance that kept the audience engaged throughout.
Polis Evo 2 deserves a well-earned rating of 9 out of 10. The film excelled in various aspects, including its cinematography, engaging storyline, & editing. The fighting action scenes, particularly the bombing sequences, were executed with realism & had a powerful impact on the audience. It was truly captivating to watch.
Compared to its predecessor, Polis Evo 1, Polis Evo 2 managed to maintain an equally high standard while incorporating new flavors & sentiments. The infusion of these elements added a fresh & unique dynamic to the film. However, there are areas that could be improved upon, such as paying closer attention to detail & maintaining continuity throughout the storyline.
I must also commend Erra Fazira & Hasnul Rahmat for their outstanding performances in the movie. They brought depth and authenticity to their respective roles. However, I do wish that Erra's character, as the lead terrorist negotiator, had been portrayed as more intelligent & proactive. This would have added an extra layer of intrigue & complexity to the overall storyline.
Overall, Polis Evo 2 provided a remarkable cinematic experience, particularly in terms of its cinematography. While the storyline of Polis Evo 1 may have been stronger, both movies are of equally high quality. I highly recommend watching both installments for their unique qualities and engaging narratives.
Polis Evo 3 (2023)
Polis Evo 3: Average Film, Disappointed with Editing and Cinematography
It was an okay experience. However, I couldn't help but feel a little disappointed with the editing & cinematography. In comparison to its predecessors, Polis Evo 1 & 2, this installment falls short. I have immense respect for the outstanding performances by Zizan and Shaheizy, who displayed great showmanship once again. Their acting skills truly elevated the movie. However, I sincerely hope that if there is a "Polis Evo 4" in the future, the production team (especially the Camera work & editing) remains consistent with the ones behind Polis Evo 1 & especially my favorite -- Polis Evo 2. The editing in the first two films was exceptional (kudos to Nazim Shah), but unfortunately, it didn't live up to the same standard in Evo 3. The action scenes in #1 & #2 were more realistic & engaging while #3 felt less impactful. I wonder if budget constraints affected the overall quality of the film, particularly in terms of its artistic outcome.
My 5 out 10 rating is primarily due to the great showmanship displayed by Zizan, Shaheizy Sam, and Sharnaz. Their performances brought a spark to the movie and kept it engaging. However, the film fell short in terms of editing, cinematography, and action realism (this reminds me of KL Gangster, haha).
In conclusion, "Polis Evo 3" had its flaws but was still an enjoyable watch. I appreciate the efforts of the cast & hope to see improvements in the areas that were lacking in future installments.
