Malaysian review

The film is a highly compelling, emotional and intense drama of character complexities, moral dilemmas, compassion and family issues with suspenseful narratives, thriller-like scenes and a gripping sense that something or someone's going to explode at any time.

Instead of going for the obvious approach of gaining sympathy by focusing on a death-row prisoner, the perspectives on the subject are from a prison officer who sincerely wishes to help convicts that want to change, and a hangman who has been doing his job for 30 years — engagingly performed by Firdaus and Wan Hanafi respectively.
