Plot Summary
In Minangkabau, West Sumatera, Yuda a skilled practitioner of Silat Harimau is in the final preparations to begin his "Merantau" a century's old rites-of-passage to be carried out by the community's young men that will see him leave the comforts of his idyllic farming village and make a name for himself in the bustling city of Jakarta. After a series of setbacks leave Yuda homeless and uncertain about his new future, a chance encounter results in him defending the orphaned Astri from becoming the latest victim of a European human trafficking ring led by the wildly psychotic, Ratger and his right-hand man Lars. With Ratger injured in the mêlée and seeking both his "merchandise" and bloody retribution, Yuda's introduction to this bustling city is a baptism of fire as he is forced to go on the run with Astri and her younger brother Adit as all the pimps and gangsters that inhabit the night hound the streets chasing their every step. With escape seemingly beyond their grasp, Yuda has no choice but to face his attackers in an adrenaline charged, jaw-dropping finale.Watch online Movie Trailer free MERANTAU WARRIOR Indonesia Hollywood Indian film.The film Directed by G.H.

Reviews
In Indonesian culture, a merantau is a rite of passage, the journey that every young man must experience before he can be considered a man. Think of it as an Indonesian Bar Mitzvah. And you can think of the film Merantau as an Indonesian Bar Mitzvah with loads of impressive ass kicking and a fantastic story that engages every second its on screen.
Yuda (Iko Uwais) is a skilled Silat fighter who is heading from his family farm to the big city to try to make his way in the tradition of merantau. Instead of getting a job there, he saves a young girl named Astri (Sisca Jessica) from ruthless thugs and becomes her guardian as a pair of mob bosses attempt to kidnap her to sell her into sex slavery.
It’s movies like these that put me in an awkward position. As some of you may realize, my very first review here on FSR was for Ong Bak and I gave it an "A." After all, it deserves it. It’s a fantastic movie that’s fun and displays some incredible martial arts. But considering that Merantau is much, much better than Ong Bak, I find myself searching for a grade above "A."
That may seem like a bold claim, but it’s obvious to anyone who’s seen both films. Merantau is a brilliant display of a complex martial art where the fighting is organic to the characters and the camera picks it up exactly how it needs to be. There are no repeated shots here for effect – just good old-fashioned cinematography that keeps a keen focus on the two (or the thirty) fighters that are going at each other. It adds to the scene while allowing the fight to naturally show off its intensity without the aid of fancy edits or camera tricks.
