Fly by Night

a Film by Zahir Omar

Synopsis

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.
REVIEW by THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER

YEAR
2018
"A modicum of success for first-time director Zahir Omar’s Fly by Night, a bloody, vivid, polished crime thriller with style to burn and a grim, fatalistic heart, and which adheres to its genre conventions while managing to make them seem fresh and unpredictable."

    Have you met Soufflé? I’ve been taking this baby for a spin cuz I got dibs to try out the #RenaultSubscription with #MyCaptur first! Having this freedom and not worrying our servicing issues is so ideal for those who don’t want to take a crazy loan to purchase a car, it’s a monthly fee which allows you more freedom in the choices you make. #RenaultMalaysia ...

    Throwback to @womenwill when I was asked what kind of impact I wanted to have and what was my message to Asian women. I simply replied, we need to ask more questions. We need to connect deeper with ourselves and each other because questions will help us understand things more. @supparetreat helps you ask the right questions in life and the more honest you are with yourself, the closer you will be in seeking your truth. #womenwill #Google ...
