Rahim Razali hit his peak in the 80s with movies like the original ABANG and MATINYA SEORANG PATRIOT which depicted the new breed of Malays - modern and yet affected by tradition. This new ABANG (not so much a sequel as a remake) feels superficial and coasts along without saying anything. Azhar can't carry the lead and Deanna becomes annoying. If it's any consolation: The movie Rahim made after this, IMAN ALONE, is far worse.
