Sumolah

About This Movie

So, 'Sumolah' really throws you into the chaos of Ramlee's life. Afdlin Shauki's performance as this hapless Malay boy is quite compelling, balancing between desperation and humor. The pacing has this interesting rhythm, where it shifts from slow, reflective moments to frantic, comedic action, especially during the sushi challenge. It’s not just about the challenge itself but Ramlee's internal struggles with expectations, particularly from his mother. The film mixes practical effects with some quirky humor, not overdoing the CGI, which gives it a grounded feel. Some scenes might seem a bit over-the-top, but it gives it this distinctive charm that sets it apart from conventional action comedies. You feel for Ramlee as he navigates his misadventures.
