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."

Mama and I sat on our stairwell taking selfies waiting for Nelly to pick us up. She’s working on a new smile. 😁

Meanwhile my brudder and I are cracking jokes like we’re kids again, except we’re not anymore… 🫠🫠

Canucks vs Blackhawks and we won 5-2!! Thanks @by_19 and @brandobeware for the catch up. It always feels like we’re coming back from Scallywags after a game and enroute to Bay/St Joseph. Ha! D-I-G…. 😂
