[Coverage] Redemption《守护者》Gala Premiere @ Pavilion Bukit Jalil

Kuala Lumpur, 2025 - The action film 'Redemption', directed by and starring Michael Chuah, held its grand premiere on January 13 at Pavilion Bukit Jalil. One of the film’s key actors, Mimi Chu, flew in from Singapore to join the celebration. Known for her humor, she jokingly remarked at the event, “In the movie, I play a retired professional assassin, but in real life, my ‘fighting skills’ are only for mahjong!” Her witty comment had the audience in laughter.

Michael Chuah: Mimi Chu Brings a Lighthearted Touch to the Film

Director Michael Chuah revealed that he has been a devoted fan of Stephen Chow since childhood, and as Mimi Chu has frequently collaborated with Chow in comedies, he was eager to have her in the film. While 'Redemption' is primarily serious in tone, he wanted to inject a sense of levity into certain moments.

“Mimi Chu is an exceptionally talented actress. Her interpretation of the role exceeded my expectations. Her presence not only added depth to the movie but also infused the entire production team with positive energy.”

Plot: A Mercenary’s Path to Redemption

'Redemption' is an action-packed film that blends traditional martial arts with intense gunfight sequences. It follows Jie (played by Michael Chuah), a former mercenary who seeks to leave his violent past behind and live a peaceful life in a quiet town. However, his tranquility is short-lived as an unexpected event entangles his loved ones with a dangerous criminal syndicate. Forced to confront the world he tried to escape, Jie must fight to protect those he cares about. The film delivers not only thrilling action sequences but also a profound exploration of redemption, humanity, and personal ties.

Star-Studded Cast: Zizan Razak Joins the Lineup

The film boasts a strong cast, featuring Mimi Chu, Michael Chuah, Tian Long, and Malaysian comedy superstar Zizan Razak. Chuah shared that he had been following Zizan’s career for some time and finally approached him last year to collaborate. To his delight, Zizan immediately agreed.

Chuah described Zizan as “a passionate, humble, and dedicated actor”, whose stellar performance made a lasting impression. Although Zizan’s role is limited in screen time, his character—a former ally of Jie—plays a crucial part in the film, stepping in to help the protagonist in life-threatening situations.

Additionally, Tian Long portrays the film’s primary antagonist, the leader of a drug and human trafficking ring, while Cherry Cheng plays Lyn, a young woman whom Jie once vowed to protect but who was tragically caught in the criminal underworld. To atone for his past mistakes, Jie embarks on a high-stakes mission to rescue her.

The movie was filmed across Kuala Lumpur and Port Dickson over a span of two months. As a carefully crafted Chinese New Year action film, 'Redemption' is set to hit Malaysian cinemas on January 29 (First Day of CNY). Zizan expressed his excitement about starring in his first-ever Mandarin CNY film, hoping that Malaysians of all ethnic backgrounds will enjoy this thrilling and heartfelt production.

With its high-octane action sequences, gripping storyline, and outstanding performances, 'Redemption' is not just an action-packed CNY blockbuster but also a deeply moving story about growth and redemption. Whether you are an action movie enthusiast or a fan of lighthearted moments, 'Redemption' promises to be a must-watch film this festive season!

蔡业翰：朱咪咪为电影增添轻松氛围

导演蔡业翰坦言，从小便是周星驰的忠实粉丝，而朱咪咪作为周星驰电影中的常客，其幽默风格早已深入人心。尽管《守护者》的整体基调较为严肃，他仍希望能借朱咪咪的表演，为影片增添一丝轻松氛围。他说道：“朱咪咪的演技炉火纯青，她对角色的诠释总是超出我的预期。她的加入不仅让电影更具层次感，也为整个拍摄团队带来了积极的能量。”
