Joe Taslim Reveals the Different Styles of Three World-Famous Action Directors

The illustrious career of Joe Taslim in the action genre has brought him together with renowned directors who have unique directing styles. From his experiences, he reveals the fundamental differences in the approach to action from three directors he has collaborated with: Gareth Evans, Timo Tjahjanto, and Kenji Tanigaki.

According to Joe, each director has a very strong characteristic in designing a fight scene. Gareth Evans, the director of THE RAID, is known for his very realistic and grounded approach.

"Gareth Evans in THE RAID really tries to make his approach real. His approach is grounded, real. If you watch THE RAID, you don't see a lot of acrobatic movements nowadays," explained Joe Taslim when met in the Kemang area, South Jakarta, on Tuesday (16/10/2025).

Unlike Gareth, Timo Tjahjanto, who directed THE NIGHT COMES FOR US, has a more stylish approach that tends to resemble a comic, with very distinctive character designs and imagery.

"Timo is somewhat similar, but Timo might be more stylish. In the sense that his visuals have more influence, perhaps from Japanese films, very, very stylish," he said.

Meanwhile, Kenji Tanigaki, a Japanese director who worked on THE FURIOUS, brings a very complex action style that focuses on maneuvers.

The movements in his film are heavily influenced by anime, with many intricate spinning movements.

"Japan is more complex in terms of maneuvers. So when we watch Rurouni Kenshin, we see the movements of the samurai swinging their swords, they can run, they can spin, like their legs are really fast," said Joe.

According to him, this Japanese fighting style has a very high level of difficulty because it requires actors to perform unusual body maneuvers.

"There are many spinning movements, complex, and honestly, it's difficult," concluded Joe Taslim.
