Let’s go!! Netflix has launched a totally badass first look teaser trailer for the next awesome action film from Indonesian filmmaker Timo Tjahjanto titled The Shadow Strays. This is premiering in the Midnight Madness section at the 2024 Toronto Film Festival this fall. It will be on Netflix in October as well – not long of a wait at all. Codename 13, a 17-year-old assassin, is suspended due to a sloppy mission in Japan. But she meets 11-year-old Monji, who loses his mother, and sets out to rescue him. Aurora Ribero stars as 13 – an assassin determined to save a child from a crime syndicate, even if it means going against her own mentor and her organization. TIFF adds: “Not since The Night Comes for Us has Indonesia’s preeminent architect of ultra-violent action, Timo Tjahjanto, conducted such a meticulous martial arts massacre. Opening with a bravura set piece that lays waste to dozens of yakuza, his latest proceeds as a kind of taxonomy of the action genre with a string of sword fights, shoot-em-ups, and old-fashioned fisticuffs…” Hell yes!! This also stars Hana Pitrashata Malasan and Taskya Namya. So far so good, I’ll be watching this film the day it drops. // Continue Reading ›
