Why watch this film?
PASKAL, or Pasukan Khas Laut, is an elite unit in the Royal Malaysian Navy. The movie follows the true events of PASKAL's Lieutenant Commander Arman Anwar and his team's mission to rescue a tanker, MV Bunga Laurel, that was hijacked by Somalian Pirates in 2011.
"As a true triumph in the eyes of critics, 'Paskal' became the third highest-grossing film in Malaysia of all time. It is a simple story, inspired by some successful missions of PASKAL, which is one of Malaysia's main elite forces, reusing military initiatives meticulously planned."
