A young man was seriously injured in the head and lost his memory for the injury. The young man began to adapt to a new life, but there was a past he remembered nothing. A doctor tries to help this young man return his lost memory after the accident. Soon after, the young man recovered from the injury and began to discover the violent and painful past. It seems that the young man will encounter a violent and painful past that resurfaces.
Fans of extreme Asian genre action won't care that things eventually grow somewhat predictable and repetitive: In terms of sheer, punchy physical vigor, "Headshot" is a knockout.
This lethally brutal exercise in Indonesian martial-arts mayhem - featuring the charismatic Iko Uwais ("The Raid" franchise), a living, breathing action figure - is definitely not for the squeamish nor anyone who has just eaten lunch.
Despite Headshot's flaws, it does have a mesmerizing quality in its illustration of humanity's dark side, social and spiritual. It's a film that coaxes into its world rather than drags.
the story can't sustain the bloated running time and the ongoing, gratuitous violence. It's not the best showcase for Uwais' skills when he's bringing his fists to a gunfight.
