The Gang Picked the Wrong Grandfather in Netflix's Never Surrender
Indonesian action film Never Surrender, directed by Sidharta Tata, arrives on Netflix on 12 November.
A grandfather used to living alone suddenly has two grandchildren to look after and a gang of criminals at the door. That's Never Surrender (Serangan Balik in Indonesian), a new Indonesian action film that arrives on Netflix on 12 November.
It's set in a small village in Central Java. The grandfather is caring for two grandchildren he hasn't seen in a long time, and trouble from Jakarta follows them there. A group of ruthless criminals storms the house, and Netflix says the family's options come down to surrender or fighting back. The grandfather draws on his combat skills to protect them.
Netflix sells it as action with a family story underneath, following three generations as they rebuild trust after grief. Netflix promises intense fight sequences and tactical ingenuity. Sidharta Tata directs, in his first collaboration with producers Kimo Stamboel and Edwin Nazir. Lukman Sardi, Callista Arum and Sulthan Hamonangan star, with Derby Romero and Donny Alamsyah also in the cast.
If The Raid is the only Indonesian action film you know, this is a good next stop. The Netflix teaser runs 46 seconds, and Netflix lists the film as TV-MA, so don't let the grandchildren pick family movie night.
