Thank you for the movie review.
Years from now, when Malaysian cinema has its place in the pantheon of the global kinoscape, many will remember #FlyByNight as one of the turning points when we mustered our courage and stepped into the abyss.
And what a step. Great script (first penned by the late Ivan Yeo), heartfelt performances, wrapped by a swath of bravado. And in a genre you'll not expect from Malaysian filmmakers.
Fly By Night isn't flawless (issues in editing and post-production are quite evident), but cutting through it all is a huge heart and balls to go with it.
There is sophistication and layering, yet down and dirty and visceral. Our pluralistic society at its most primal.
The storytelling has an easy confident air, presenting our polyglot society sans the pretentious. Languages and dialects morph into each other, ethnic languages switch tongues. Yet in all that diversity, everyone, ultimately, is compelled (or trapped?) by the same motivations blind to colour and creed - money, avarice, secrets, vengeance.
Fly By Night is wrapping up in Malaysian cinemas, you've got another week! And there's the inevitable appearance on SVOD and OTT in the near future.
But whatever it is, catch it before it flies.
