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 […]
GAYONG: October Martial Arts Biopic Prod Taps ‘Mat Kilau’ Co-Star For Malaysia’s Answer To ‘Ip Man’!
I highly suggest looking into Malaysian actor Beto Kusyairy’s filmography, particularly if you’re a reader of this website and others like it. One quick-to-point title I’ll throw out is Syamsul Yusof’s Mat Kilau, readily available on Netflix and has Kusyairy joining lead actor Adi Putra in the story of a band of warriors rebelling against British colonial rule in the 1890s. Kusyairy has one of my more favorite moments in the movie that really got my action fanboy blood flowing and ultimately put him on the map for me as someone I’d like to see more of. That day finally arrived in recent weeks with Sol Pictures Sdn Bhd putting the word out for director Faisal Ishak’s upcoming production of Gayong, taken from the name of the titular Malaysian fighting style of Silat Gayong. What’s more is Kusyairy will star in the lead role of Silat Gayong grandmaster Datuk Meor […]
Streaming Sleepers: Syamsul Yusof’s MAT KILAU Bolsters With Nationalistic Fervor, Martial Arts Action And Gallantry
I started following niche film sites roughly eighteen years ago, which is eventually how I came to learn about filmmaker Syamsul Yusof upon the release of KL Gangster 2 back in 2013. That film, even though I haven’t seen it to this day, put Malaysia on the map for me as I aspired to keep up a little more with the goings-on of action cinema around the world at the start of FCSyndicate, which makes it all the more interesting now to see streamers like Netflix finally take notice and bring forth more Malaysian action cinema to global audiences, and to their credit, launching Mat Kilau: Kebangkitan Pahlawan following its Malaysia Day rollout in September. Based on a true story, the film is set in the late nineteenth century in the lands of Pahang as the British and its East Indian army look to colonize the country, levying heavy taxes […]
