REVERSI Trailer: Beto Kusyairy Battles Fate In Adrian Teh’s Newest Time-Travel Thriller

Malaysian filmmaker Adrian Teh is busy making another cinematic memory for us to endulge in the new year these days. In the meantime, his most recent work, Reversi, had made its way through the international festival circuit long enough to garner some publicity in the past year.

The film is now playing in Malaysian cinemas and stars actor Beto Kusyairy who has easily become a favorite to watch in recent memory. Here, Kusyairy plays Akid, a police negotiator whose ability to time-travel unravels a harrowing journey as he battles fate to save his incumbent wife from death at the expense of his own lifespan.

I just caught the trailer as well and couldn’t resist sharing it, along with a little more of Kusyairy on screen – him being one of the most definitive and physically commanding actors I’ve seen on film. Deft at drama as well as action, the Mat Kilau star is also filming Malaysian martial arts drama, Gayong, which is also set to open in 2025, while Reversi is something way more scaled back in spectacle, whilst thriving on intensity amid its lo-fi fantastical allure and modest action. I look forward to this myself once its made available at some point.

Also starring are Shiqin Kamal, Vanida Imran, Zahiril Adzim, Hasnul Rahmat, Qi Razali, and Azhan Rani. Catch the teaser and trailer below!
