Either there is something wrong with me, or the people genuinely liked the previous installments of Bleeding Tiger. Because this time too, I didn’t like it much. Again, the plot picks up from where it left off. Hakin manages to keep his identity safe and continues his undercover operation, though he does face situations where his identity comes close to being ripped off. This time, however, he faces a drug lord. And that is where the makers play the role: the drug lord is a woman and not a man. Honestly, this was the only thing I liked about the movie so far. They removed stereotypes. Now Hakin has again found himself amidst a bloody battle: he must capture Bleeding Tiger before the drug takes control and makes it her expanded empire. How does Hakin do it? Well, he doesn’t fight alone, and he has other “bad guys” who work for him. So as expected, this “bloody battle” has a lot of bloodshed. And we can still see the dilemma that Hakin has: whether to leave the job or continue. His getting better by the better in each installment is a clear indication that the authority above him won't let him quit the job so easily. And thus, coming back to the battle, the drug lord is no less. She has her own army, and she is very skilled herself as well. Will Hakin and his team survive and save Bleeding Tigers? Or will it go to the drug lord?
So this installment is no different from what we have already seen. Basically, they just mold the story a bit for us, but the main point continues. At this point, this becomes monotonous to watch because how long are you going to watch a battle? How long will you watch the action techniques? For sure, you will get bored, and so did I.
When it comes to acting, as such, we see no change in Luqman Hafidz. He continues just the way we saw in the first installment. Probably that is what the makers wanted us to see: that no matter what, the actors and their acting remain the same. Fine, that is bearable. But what isn’t is that the rest of the cast resort to overacting to prove their points.
Coming to the pacing, that too is slow. The battle scenes go on and on, like there is no end to them. I don’t know why, for some reason, it just won't change. I wish they had reduced the number of battle scenes. There is bloodshed throughout, and people are dying. So this is a clear indication that if you are sensitive, you must avoid watching it because at one point, it gets brutal. Not everyone would like to watch vomit of blood, right?
Even now on the character development front, nothing has changed. I can vouch and say that since the start, the movies show no improvement in the development of character. Hakin’s character had a lot to change, but it is the same old stale, and that is one of the biggest drawbacks. The only thing that has changed so far is the villains he fights. I wish there were more to the plot.
Final Score- [4/10]
