About Jakarta
A CIA agent roams the streets of New York haunted by the death of the beautiful woman he fell in love with while on assignment in Jakarta. When he is kidnapped and drugged, the destination is Jakarta once again where he tries to unravel the mystery that is the city which broke him three years earlier.
Directed by E.G. Bakker, Charles Kaufman, Jakarta leans on a strong ensemble — Chris Noth, Suzee Pai, Frans Tumbuan — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about thriller titles of 1988.
