Production

One Two Jaga first appeared when the movie concept trailer was released on YouTube in 2014.[3] The film was directed by Namron who previously directed Gedebe (2013) and Psiko: Pencuri Hati (2013). Ron wrote the script with Ayam Fared, Pitt Hanif, Amri Rohayat, and Muhammad Syafiq. Bront Palarae[4] and his wife, Rozi Isma, served as producers for Pixel Play.[5][6]

Namron chose to highlight bribery as the main subject of the film.[7][8] The cast is made up of actors from Malaysia, Philippines and Indonesia, including Timothy Castillo, Amerul Affendi, Ario Bayu,[9] and Asmara Abigail.[10][11] Nam Ron also mentioned that this film is not "anti-cops" or "anti-police", instead he called it as "anti-graft" film.[12] The film script was rejected twice by former inspector-general of police Khalid Abu Bakar before it got the green light to be filmed.[13] Zahiril Adzim tells the media that the film didn't want to hurt police image, instead the film is all about action of police being greedy.[14] Same statement pulls out from the director himself to the media.[15][16]

Reception

Show

One Two Jaga was initially planned to be screened at various foreign film festivals. However, the producer decided that the film should also be screened at Malaysian cinemas. The film was officially released on 6 September 2018.[17]

The first screening of One Two Jaga was on opening night of the Far East Film Festival in Udine, Italy on 29 April 2018.[18][19][20] On 29 June 2018, One Two Jaga represented Malaysia at the 17th New York Asian Film Festival in New York.[21] One Two Jaga was a commercial failure and Namron later expressed his disappointment on Twitter about the reaction to the film.[22][23][24]

Critical reviews

Shazryn Mohd Faizal from mStar Online described One Two Jaga as "a precious work of Nam Ron and his colleagues although One Two Jaga is certainly not able to record tens of millions of dollars but aesthetics, exclusives, and souls which is precious is what makes One Two Jaga worth honored and respected."[25][whose translation?]

Future

Namron reveals that he want to direct minister bribery in the future[26] while Bront set to direct his directional debut by the genre of thriller.[27]

Novel adaptation

The film was adapted into a 283-page novel of the same name by Sahidzan Salleh. The novel was published by Buku FIXI and released in May 2018.[28]
