Theysit in Science Fiction / Thriller territory. If that's the register that drew you to After the Dark, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

Rainy Batavia City nights, neon signs reflected in wet pavement, a waitress's weary feet. A young woman's double life as vigilante sparks intense confrontations. This Indonesian thriller nods to 80s action films.
