About This Movie

Sekolah Api (2017) presents a gritty blend of action and drama, centering around Api—a gangster returning to school to honor his grandmother's dying wish. The narrative keeps a relentless pace, navigating the treacherous waters of adolescence and underworld ties. The film’s atmosphere is thick with tension, particularly as Api’s love for an English teacher adds layers to his character. It’s interesting how that romance evolves against the backdrop of his gangster life, creating a push-and-pull dynamic. The performances, while not Oscar-caliber, carry enough weight to draw you in. Practical effects are minimal, but they serve the story well, grounding the more intense moments. It’s a unique take on the school drama genre, meshing romance and crime in a way that's not often seen.
