Following a series of films that are quite brutal or horrific (or both), Timo Tjahjanto decided to change his style a bit, by implementing intense comic elements in his narrative in a distinctly comic-book style, retaining, though, the aforementioned aspects. The result is “The Big 4”, which has now started to stream on Netflix.
The intro scene of the movie sets the tone for what is about to follow, as it starts inside an orphanage whose owners use the kids in order to harvest organs. Enter the titular Big 4, leader Topan, sniper Jenggo, tempered Alpha, the only woman of the group, and youngster Pelor, who save the children there while creating mayhem in their path, killing the bad guys in the most brutal, to the point of funny, ways. A bit later on, it is revealed that the group also has a leader, Petrus, who coordinates their efforts, while retaining a father-children relationship with them.

The Big Four is an action/adventure/comedy movie directed by Timo Tjahjanto starring Abimana Aryasatya, Putri Marino, Arie Kriting, Lutesha and Kristo Immanuel.
An entertaining, action-packed movie that has the virtue of not taking itself too seriously. Two hour and half of over-the-top action and comedic moments.
Premise
A by-the-book female detective teams up with four down-on-their-luck assassins to investigate her father’s murder.
About the Movie
In the first scene a child is left in the care of an orphanage, and we will soon find out that it is in fact an organ farm. What follows is a blood-fest of action, with kicking and punching, shooting and heads being blown off. And just like that, the tone is set in this feature about a team of vigilantes trained by the Big Boss, Petrus (the father), who will combat any and all injustices.

"Once we go in, father's dream will be destroyed." Netflix has revealed an official trailer for The Big 4, an Indonesian action comedy from acclaimed Indonesian genre filmmaker Timo Tjahjanto. It's debuting on Netflix in December in just a few more weeks. The film tells the story of an elite assassin targeted by murderous gangsters after sparing a girl's life during a massacre. Four hitmen who have hung up their swords must return to the game when they encounter a virtuous police officer with a mission to catch a heinous villain who always escapes authorities. Starring Putri Marino, Abimana Aryasatya, Lutesha, Kristo Immanuel, and Arie Kriting, with Marthino Lio, Michelle Tahalea, Kho Michael, and Budi Ros. This looks like an intense blast of fun from Indonesia, with plenty of badass action and kooky characters. Maybe not the best trailer but it looks like an entertaining comedy. ›››
