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.

Aurora Ribero has the potential to be a HUGE star. She is the full package - 5 star action talent and WOW can she hold a scene. Timo Tjahjanto gives her an EPIC to chew on. The Shadow Dogs is breathtaking

Action packed scenes with worthwhile choreography, an assassin spin on crime thriller genre, taking place in a corrupt jakarta. 13 and jeki have an interesting alliance, and the cinematography was also well-done.

Indonesian action film! Great story, lots of action, lots of karate, and lots of blood… Worth a look if you’re into that sort of thing. Highly recommended. Should be available dubbed and or subtitled, don’t let the foreign language put you off, this movie is awesome.
