True action and martial arts movie fans are constantly on the lookout for the “next big thing”, or at least some competently captured cinematic clashes.

I don’t know if young Indonesian cyclone Iko Uwais is the new Jackie Chan or Tony Jaa, but he can certainly bounce through environments and crack foes’ faces with fists, kicks and random objects.

Twitch has a clip of the kid’s breakout flick MERANTAU, due to hit Cannes this month. Whether it’ll be the next ONG BAK remains to be seen, but you can click below to check out the sick stunts and brutality!
