E1 Entertainment have announced the UK DVD release of 'Merantau Warrior' for the 26th April 2010. Written and directed by Gareth Evans, the film is an adrenaline-fuelled action flick that delves into the world of Indonesian martial arts. The cast includes Iko Uwais, Sisca Jessica and Mads Koudal.
Synopsis
Teenage Yuda (Iko Uwais) travels to the big city of Jakarta for his merantau, a centuries-old Sumatran custom wherein adolescent males must leave their rural villages and prove their manhood abroad before being allowed to return home. However, he soon finds himself in trouble when he helps a young stripper named Astri (Sisca Jessica) escape the clutches of a human trafficker, Ratger (Mads Koudal). Luckily for Yuda, he's skilled in the martial art of silat, leading to plenty of high-kicking action.
Artwork and trailer are below, and you can preorder the DVD now from Amazon.co.uk.
