In this episode of Two Asian Blokes, we’re talking all things Timo Tjahjanto — Indonesia’s master of mayhem and one of the most exciting action directors working today.We kick things off by chatting about the recent announcement that Timo will be directing The Beekeeper 2, starring none other than Jason Statham. What does this pairing mean for the future of Western action cinema, and how might Timo’s brutal, kinetic style translate to a Hollywood sequel?Next, we dive into our review of Nobody 2, Timo’s first big Hollywood directorial outing, starring Bob Odenkirk. Does it live up to the original, and how does his signature flair elevate the genre?Finally, we revisit Timo’s 2018 blood-soaked classic The Night Comes For Us — a film that cemented his reputation for bone-crunching fight choreography and emotional storytelling. We discuss its legacy, its place in Southeast Asian action cinema, and why it still hits as hard as ever.SUBSCRIBE to Two Asian Blokes – https://www.youtube.com/@twoasianblokes?sub_confirmation=1 00:00 – The Start 10:19 – About Timo 14:39 – The Beekeeper 2 19:45 – Nobody 2 Review 46:44 – The Night Comes For Us ReviewWhat's your favourite Timo movie?
