Tjahjanto’s enthusiasm and dedication to conceptual novelty continue to match Irfan’s creativity and accomplished work with his stunt teams.

Globe and Mail

Finding new and inventively cruel ways to shuffle henchmen off this mortal coil, the director levels up his trademark use of the silat style of martial arts, overkilling the concept of overkill.

Creative methods of killing and maiming are Tjahjanto's specialty, and they fly at the viewer at a furious pace.

Austin Burke/Flick Fan Nation

The Shadow Strays uses this simplistic story as a vehicle for creative action sequences, a great lead character, and more than a few kick-ass moments. It pushes the brutality to its limits, and maintains its momentum through a rather lengthy run-time.

Rated: 7.5/10

The action, fighting, and brutality are all incredibly creative and vicious in this bloody action film.

I understand the frustration of losing cryptocurrency. Lose it to individuals you have given your time, trust, and personal information to. It's certainly a tough situation to be in. I have lost hundreds of thousands of USD, and I fear what these impostors would do with my details. It was months of fear and trauma for me before coming in contact with CyberGenie HackPro. Their success rate is impressive, and they have helped numerous individuals and businesses retrieve their funds via various means lost to scammers running from BEC Fraud and pig butchering fraud. Remember, it's essential to choose a legitimate company with a proven track record and positive reviews, CyberGenie HackPro is the DEAL.

Maybe, the most absurd movie I have ever seen. The action is good, but a teenage girl kicking the crap out of 500 die hard criminals....LOL. Nah!

The Shadow strays - slightly tongue in cheek? Some interesting (and interesting wobbly) camera work. Is it strange to have a certain expectation of a particular type of filum? Do the bits of wood have a meaning outside in the snow? Probs a good theme b.utt got a bit bored, read me book b.utt and played games. Sure it was ok, b.utt got bored. 1 16 left and dint see the point of continuing. Got bored b.utt. unfinished ... for the mo. Gave me headache. Appreciate it must have taken much time and effort to do so many action scenes, b.utt, got bored and again with a headache. 2/3.11.24 6.5/0. D.B.

Una pelicula cargada de accion y un buen lore pero que se ve opacada por un camino que te hace sentir que no valió la pena ya que la protagonista no logra salvar a ninguno de los que quería lo cual tal vez es un buen giro pero al final se introducen cosas que no habían sido importantes en la trama como si fuera a continuar y no se pero en general la accion es muy buena y te la puedes pasar bien.

The high quality hand-to-hand combat along with gory visual effects make this movie a refreshing title to remember. Ribero does a great job acting the beautiful choreography with power. While some gun scenes were lacking in realism (guys taking no cover from automatic rifles being shot by 5+ enemies, somehow not getting hit, movie-level low reaction time etc.), the hand-to-hand combat was intense, novel, and alive.
