I loved The Karate Kid, but the absence of the lead character's mother from most of his affairs didn't let me believe in the story as much as I'd have liked to. In this film, father/daughter interaction, portrayed pretty convincingly, is an important part of the story. This is still a coming-of-age piece, but it has more depth than Kid did, while retaining an excellent sense of humor, as well as showing a mature respect for the subject matter.The filmography is beautiful. The score is uplifting. The acting is compelling. This is truly an amazing debut by many of those involved.There are a few flaws, and they make it hard to follow the sequence of events here and there, but it all makes sense before the end.We watched it with our fourteen-year-old son, who liked it. A good family film for middle schoolers.

Watched it and like it. - Some silat move need to be polished. - Movie a bit too rushing and some scene doesn't have any logic. - Not Original Idea, MORE like Karate Kid. Should watch Ada Apa Dengan Rina, The movie are more original and more Buruneian than Yasmine. - Nothing Fancy - Just as it is - Should use more locals(more local talented Videographer, Local Story writer, Local Screen writer, Local actor, Local actress, local singer for Soundtrack) to be call a BRUNEIAN Movie. - Yasmine can be call as ASEAN Movie NOT Bruneian Movie as most of the crew are Indonesian and Malaysian. - Bahasa ROJAK.Other than this, love the cinematography and NADIAH WAHID IS THE BEST ACTRESS!!!

movie is fine, it impressed me, acceptable, but sometime looks a bit rushing.its not new in term of story style, but its a very good effort. i like the cinematography."the best movie better than Indonesian and Malaysian"? i wouldn't say so. it is the best movie in Brunei produced by Bruneian director. but i will not compare it to neighbors countries like Malaysian and Indonesian. it sounds bias and could sound racist if Bruneian starts to give a maximum compliment on this movie.. plus its irrelevant.because as you can see, a BIG percentage of the actors are not from Brunei. look at the main supporting characters. sufficient enough to make us notice that we didn't produce an awesome movie with only our local actors. so don't be to loud as if this "Bruneian 1st proper Movie" is so awesome and can beat all other's Malay Movies. this movie supported a lot by Indonesian and Malaysian and please remember that before you bark loud.my comment, i like it, yet i would love to watch this with pure Brunei spontaneous slang. not a standard Bruneian slang and not a new "Bruneian mixed slang" which sounds more like Sarawakan and Indonesian. the movie is good. maybe the best in Brunei for now. i wouldn't say its the best in SEA. and i don't think Siti Kamaluddin is the 1st Female Director in SEA. do Google female directors from Malaysia and Indonesia and the rest of SEA. but yes, she maybe the 1st Female director… but thats in Brunei.and yes, its a fine movie. thumbs up.

My initial expectation of the movie weren't that high. But after seeing the movie myself I can't help but feel so wrong! This movie's great! What truly struck me was the movie's videography, drama, comedy (the Bruce Lee-like teacher is funny!), plot, sound, and suspense; I mean it was that amazing and done that professionally.Especially amazing after realizing, from IMDb, that this was Brunei's first ever featured film after more than 50 years! Talking about the ultimate comeback! I may be biased as I am a Bruneian myself but I kid you not, this is truly a great movie! A must watch for ever Bruneians!To Siti Kamaludin and the Yasmine team, I am so proud of you!!!!
