4 Mantan

A diligent thriller from Indonesia featuring a dead boyfriend, four ex-girlfriends and a mysterious letter claiming that one of the ex-girlfriends is the killer. The visuals are passable, the actors are not bad and the film surprises with brutality at times (there is one severed head and a couple of slit throats). However, the twist in the last quarter didn't sit too well with me, I believe it sounded good on paper but in the film it felt both a bit redundant and didn't really fit the original context. On the plus side, the short running time of 80 minutes passes fairly quickly, so as a one-off no problem, but nothing I haven't seen before. 6/10. (2021.02.27)
