Zahir Omar’s directorial debut feature “Fly by Night” takes us to a familiar territory of a genre cinema, but in a less threadbare setting of Kuala Lumpur’s underworld. Visually engaging, with a good job of the ensemble cast, it puts the viewer in a proper mood straightaway: catchy blues tunes flow, and the camera gives us a dynamic ride through the nighttime streets of the city, illuminated by the neon lights of the opening credits.
“Fly By Night” is screening atUdine Far East Film Festival
Tailo is the head of a low-key extortion gang. He drives a taxi and, along with his fellow cabbies: younger brother Sailo (Fabian Loo) and his best pal Gwailo, he fishes for potential targets. Kuala Lumpur airport is their hunting ground. Michelle (Ruby Yap), Sailo’s wife, who works at a taxi booking counter, filters potential well-off victims, and Gwailo takes them to the right vehicle.
