Malik (2021)

In the shadowy underbelly of crime, a youthful outlaw named Freddy is thrust into a chilling chronicle of past misdeeds, death, and despair. His mission, shrouded in familial complexities and moral dilemmas, is to eliminate Sulaiman, a seasoned patriarch with a reputation as formidable as the sea he once ruled as a notorious smuggler and local strongman. Sulaiman is not just any target - he is Freddy's estranged uncle, a relationship that adds a layer of poignant tragedy to this tale of treachery and redemption. As the sands of time trickle down to the looming deadline of 14 days, Freddy finds himself caught in a web of narratives spun by those who know Sulaiman best. Each tale is a puzzle piece, revealing a facet of Sulaiman's life that Freddy must reconcile with his daunting task. Sulaiman's mother, Freddy's own parents, David and Mary, and even Sulaiman himself, each contribute to this tapestry of truth, justifying their actions and arguing why Sulaiman is deserving of his impending doom. Engulfed by the iron bars of his predicament, Freddy must navigate this labyrinth of loyalty, vengeance, and regret. The past is as alive as the present, and as each secret emerges, Freddy is drawn deeper into the labyrinth, where the line between villain and victim blurs. Will Freddy fulfill his mission, or will the revelations unearthed turn the tides of fate? The tale of "Malik" is a stirring saga that entwines the threads of family, crime, and the weighty burden of past actions, leaving viewers in riveting suspense until the very end.
