Linbeymusol Wonderful character development!

Sienna-Rose Mclaughlin The movie really just wants to entertain people.

Kamila Bell This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Comeuppance Reviews Jack (O'Brian) is a former private detective but now a kickboxer living in Indonesia. Life can take some pretty strange turns. Things get even stranger when an evil criminal mastermind named Foster (Hamel) appears on the scene. Jack, in his spare time, loves nothing more than to spend time with his beloved family - his wife Lily (Pudjiwati), his brother-in-law Leo (Hosada), sister-in-law Linda (Patsy) and especially his blind daughter Fiona (Amir). Because Foster sees how awesome a kickfighter Jack is (and, to a lesser extent, Leo as well), he dreams of a day when he can enlist them in illegal, underground Hong Kong-based boxing tournaments. To achieve this end, Foster has his goons kidnap Fiona. BIG mistake. You've stupidly unleashed the awesome power of JACK. Henceforth, Jack proceeds to annihilate an army of acid-washed antagonists as he fights for truth, justice, and the Indonesian way. But who is the true DOUBLE CROSSER? Find out today! Another amazing collaboration of fan favorites Peter O'Brian and Arizal? Sign us up! Both men are at the top of their game in this, another hugely entertaining team-up. Shootouts, fights, wonderfully implausible situations and wacky dubbing ensue in a film that is never anything less than completely delightful. As we've said before, Arizal was doing this all on his own - no budget, no CGI, no real infrastructure of any kind, and that adds a certain reality and insanity to the proceedings. During car chases, it feels all TOO real - like the stunt people are really risking their own lives to entertain us. Thankfully, it all works magnificently well. The world would be a different place if Arizal's movies got wider distribution; think of the result if they came to American movie theaters at the time and had newspaper ads and eventual VHS releases. As far as we can tell, Double Crosser got a Greek VHS release and not much more. Gope Samtani's Rapi Films never seemed to get much play here in the U.S., and that's a shame. If only his distribution network had a wider reach, people would be wearing Peter O'Brian T-shirts today. Ah well, maybe it's all for the better.Everything here is so great, from the baddies who REALLY know how to cover their tracks, to the disco scene with its Asian variant on "Super Freak", to O'Brian's Martial Arts moves and facial expressions, to the James Bond-style 'suspended over a pit of hungry alligators' suspense-filled finale, to the fact that there's a character named Uncle Leo that will remind you of Seinfeld and will have you saying "HELLO!!!" like Seinfeld's uncle, to the fact that O'Brian fights at a place called Golden Roller Boogie...and so much more. And the ending is so abrupt, it makes Godfrey Ho's endings seem long and drawn-out. Similarly, instead of a Ho-style 'Final Field Fight', there's a 'Final Chicken Coop Fight' where someone gets chicken feed thrown in their eyes. Like we said, another time, another place, another country. Fascinating to watch.For more undeniable Arizal fun, we wholeheartedly recommend Double Crosser.

HaemovoreRex So whines the frankly bloody infuriating blind daughter of all out macho man Jake, (played by Peter *God* O'Brian) after a bad guy has just disembowelled the child's cuddly toy for no apparent reason other than to demonstrate just what a rotten so and so he is.Fear not though, for said stuffed cutie is later avenged by our hero in style who also manages to wipe out seemingly half the population of Indonesia along the way to!Yes, any film directed by the mighty Arizal is always well worth a look and Double Crosser, although far from the prolific directors finest work is no exception. It's a joyous cauldron of crappy acting, bad dubbing, cool stunts, ridiculous plot contrivances, big shoot outs, fist fights, martial arts, explosions and curly mullets. What more could you possibly wish for in a film?!Things to watch out for: The aforementioned blind daughter who as another reviewer quite rightly described walks like she has just wandered onto the wrong set from a zombie flick(!), some truly and hilariously daft plot twists such as when our hero is fooled (incredibly easily!) into believing that his best friend and brother in law is playing away with his new woman, a live chicken being fed to a crocodile(!), some priceless side splitting dialogue and best of all the ending in this............ To call it abrupt would be to put it mildly! - Let's just say that you'll likely be rendered utterly speechless in confusion upon viewing it, but such a ridiculous finale only adds to the movies overall charm.Fellow bad movie lovers, grab yourself a copy of this flick; With the partnership of Peter O'Brian and Arizal, you just know it's going to be fun.

Paulo Sheppardo As with young Donie's comments, hes right, this Peter O'Brian movie is not as good as Rambu or Stabilizer, i think the element thats missing is the punjabi brothers direction, and possibly the involvement of Jopi Burnama.Even so, i still think this is an O'brian masterpiece, the whole hilarity of this movie for me, is the fact the bad dude wants Peter O'Brian and his brother in law Leo to fight whilst being surrounded by cars with headlights on.This could have been achieved within the first 20 minutes of the movie, the first time they kidnapped O'Brians daughter. Then the bad guy could basically say "Fight in front of those cars or ill kill your daughter!". But no, loads of pointless Indonesian stuff happens which makes this film hilarious.The end is a huge explosion and no epilogue, its just the end. No one knows what the hell happened. In essence, the movie could have finished with that explosion at the beginning and the general movie going public would have been none the wiser.Still, its Peter O'Brian and his "eye" acting which make this in the top ten greatest movies of all time.

donie1798 I'll keep this short, because quite honestly i'm not sure what to write. I saw this film on an epic, epic day. After becoming addicted to viewing Peter O'Brian movies, yet only having The Intruder and The Stabilizer, i was yearning for something new. Thanks to an over-charging American, my friends and I were granted the pleasure of watching Double Crosser and Jungle Heat - (not yet listed) in the same day. Favourite line: "The silence is deafening".Things I learnt: 1) If a movie over spends its budget, its likely to end the film with a massive explosion that leaves you with the conclusion, "ah well, i suppose they all died." 2) Little blind girls without walking sticks walk like Zombies and are VERY VERY annoying. 3) In Indonesia in 1990, the toy every little child had always wanted was a stuffed panda. 4)Peter O'Brians fighting techniques significantly improved between the years of 1984 and 1990. 5) If you walk in on your brother in law and your woman hanging a picture together, its clear they must be engaged in an affair. 6) If you're kidnapped once in a Peter O'Brian film, then its highly probable that the bad guys will kidnap you again. 7) Villains DO own crocodiles! but good guys rarely get eaten. 8) a friend called Ruben will ALWAYS be on hand waiting with a one man plane fuelled and ready to take, no questions asked, he'll just sit on the runway and say, "OK". 9) Beware of Theme Parks, you are likely to be attacked as you board a ferris wheel cart.I whole heartedly recommend Double Crosser as an integral part of the Peter O'Brian experience.
