In the end it resorts to slow-motion violence, confirming its mediocrity.

Not too bad, though a little plodding.

Empire Magazine

Sub-standard battle scenes and ropey characterisation drain this powerful story of its impact. Less history than histrionic.

The historical events may be little known but everything else from the swelling score to the cardboard characters feels all too familiar.

The subject is fascinating, but the approach is flawed.

Total Film

With the score swelling ludicrously every time the leads so much as scratch their heads, this would-be creation myth falls flat on its face.

of course it's 3 and a half of the Indonesian movie scale. at the beginning i can enjoy this actually. but then the plot is so slow. technically, it's quiet good. the night scene especially. but not with the action. it's still so lame. no suspension whatsoever.

This movie is good... as a superhero movie. Seriously, this movie has superhero complex and cliche problem. Every Indonesian is right and all dutch is wrong. They should make Justice League, not war movies. But, since this movie has my favorite scene, so I give it bonus 0.5

a interesting background to story, but it comes off dull at times, with uninspired action and acting

Film tentang perjuangan bangsa ini melawan agresi militer Belanda, disajikan dengan apik. Trilogi toh ternyata, sayangnya vcd yg gw sewa tidak bejalan mulus :(

kalo dr actionnya boleh lah,tp dr segi cerita ama aktingnya biasa2 aja.dan yg paling penting dr sebuah film perjuangan bisa menumbuhkan rasa nasionalisme bagi penontonnya dan hal itu sama sekali yg gak ane rasakan waktu setelah kelar nonton nih pelem..
