Penyamun Tarbus

About This Movie

Penyamun Tarbus is this curious blend of comedy and crime that captures the essence of its time. The story unfolds with Tuan Syed, a wealthy businessman who plays by his own rules by hiding his financial records to evade taxes. Enter the trio of thieves—Aziz Satar, Ibrahim Pendek, and Sudin—who, fueled by a mix of desperation and humor, decide to turn the tables on Syed after he dismisses their job applications. The pacing has this almost slapstick quality, made richer by the performances of the actors, especially in their comic timing. The practical effects and the light-hearted atmosphere create a unique charm. It’s not just about theft; it touches on themes of age discrimination and the absurdity of wealth.
