The existence of law is meant to create justice but what happens when the law itself is controlled by those in power? Is justice still real? Or is it merely a formality meant to cover up human hypocrisy? Does someone who twists justice still deserve to be called human? Perhaps they’re nothing more than a demon, and even a demon wouldn’t want to be compared to them. “Keadilan (The Verdict)” shows the face of a world where justice is toyed with, and how people can be pushed beyond their moral limits just to fight a broken system. Because, at its core, a corrupt system can be fought in three ways: first, by standing with the truth; second, by entering the system; and third, by fighting it the wrong way. I quite like the concept it's sensitive, yet delivered honestly. Although the execution still needs a lot of evaluation. Some parts feel rushed, the uneven quality of the cast creates a noticeable imbalance, and minor issues like stiff, unnatural dialogue make it hard for me to fully connect with the characters. Characters meant to appear sinister and manipulative instead come across more like amateur schoolkids pretending to be villains. Still, this film is highly recommended for those of you who are tired of Indonesian horror films. Once in a while, you should watch something like this a light film that’s executed well and successfully delivers its message along with a sharp social critique of the very idea of justice.
