Mat Kilau

Mat Kilau is a Malaysian patriotic movie based on the rebellion of the hero with the same name, but has it swayed away from facts because of entertainment?

Altogether, this is an entertainer with historical figures that also sways away from facts for the sake of the movie. But because of certain elements like the Sikh soldiers and messed up historical facts, it will also be spoken against. However, it is not a must-watch movie. And I have to say that the scenes consisting of Malaysian martial arts were quite impressive and a pleasure to watch. So while this movie is catering to the Malay audience, it may not be doing the same for others. An English officer with a gun who is ruthless with his ways, and soldiers surrounding him follow every single order given by him.
