The Original Gangster is an interesting piece from Syamsul Yusof, blending action, crime, and drama in a way that feels both gritty and grounded. The film captures a certain raw energy, with its pacing that keeps you engaged but doesn’t rush through the character arcs. There's a nice balance of practical effects that add a sense of realism, especially in the action sequences; it’s not overly reliant on CGI, which I think enhances its charm. The performances are quite compelling, with actors really embodying their roles—adding layers to the story that you don’t always see in this genre. It has this distinct flavor, drawing you into the underbelly of its world, making for a watch that lingers in the mind longer than you might expect.
