Plot
[edit]Internal police investigator Sheriff Hussein and his team are assigned to find the Meth Killer, a vigilante serial killer who has been murdering associates of drug kingpin Tony Ifrit and whose latest victim was the corrupt head of the Narcotics Department. Believing the Meth Killer is himself a member of the Narcotics Department given the killer's inside knowledge of Tony's organisation, Sheriff becomes suspicious of narcotics officer Nazri, who works with his sister Syazlin in the department and whose fiancée, an undercover policewoman, was found out by Tony before being raped and killed by him.
To get Sheriff off his tail, Nazri convinces his informant Firdaus to commit his next murder to provide an alibi for him. Firdaus is soon identified and captured by the police and in the interrogation room Nazri tells him to stay silent using Morse code; however an agitated Firdaus tries to escape and is shot and killed. Nazri becomes haunted by his death and visions of his fiancée and his murder victims, but refuses to turn himself in.
After discovering the high failure rate of the department's operations, Sheriff suspects that Tony has a mole in Narcotics. The mole is revealed to be CID officer Jennifer, who works for Tony to secure a better childhood for her young son, and reveals to him that the Meth Killer is still out there. Frustrated by the killer disrupting his drug operation, Tony kidnaps Sheriff to find out who the Meth Killer is. Sheriff provides him with several leads but also deduces that not only is Jennifer the mole but there are actually two moles in the Narcotics Department before Tony releases him. Jennifer later approaches Nazri, revealing to him that she is Tony's mole and that she knows he is the Meth Killer. Telling him that she supports his actions, Jennifer offers Nazri the chance to get close to Tony, who ends up taking him hostage.
Tony, led to believe by Jennifer that Nazri is not the killer, demands that the police hand over the Meth Killer in exchange for Nazri's life and that of Jennifer, whose kidnapping Tony has faked. Sheriff convinces Syazlin to pose as the Meth Killer while wearing a hidden tracker, and she is taken by Tony's men. Following the tracker, the police raid Tony's hideout but Sheriff's team are ambushed trying to find Jennifer. In the chaos, Jennifer frees Nazri who finds and brutally kills Tony. However, now aware that she was the one who blew his fiancée's cover, Nazri goes after Jennifer next, but Syazlin holds him at gunpoint, having realised that he is the Meth Killer and demanding he surrender. When Jennifer tries to reach for her gun, Nazri shoots at her, leading Syazlin to shoot and kill her brother. Syazlin is then shot by Farouk, Tony's second mole in the department, who Jennifer kills to cover up her involvement before Sheriff's team reaches them.
In the aftermath Jennifer is lauded as a hero; however she discovers that Syazlin has survived her injuries, leaving her the last witness to her betrayal. Jennifer slips into Syazlin's hospital room and poisons her drinking water but is surprised by Sheriff, who confronts her with evidence of her working for Tony. Believing that her son will not be safe if she remains alive knowing what she knows, Jennifer commits suicide. Afterwards, Syazlin recovers from her injuries and resigns from the Narcotics Department to join Sheriff's team.

[edit]Sheriff: Narko Integriti is the third police-themed film directed by Syafiq Yusof after KL Special Force (2018) and Polis Evo 3 (2023). It marks the fourth collaboration between Syafiq and Zul Ariffin after Misteri Dilaila (2019), Penunggang Agama (2021) and Penunggang Agama 2 (2021). The other actors involved in this film are Syafiq Kyle,[1] Azira Shafinaz, Elizabeth Tan, Aaron Aziz, Shaharuddin Thamby, Kodi Rasheed, Esma Daniel, Hazama Azmi and Azri Iskandar.[2] Shaharuddin and Esma previously acted together in KL Special Force, while Elizabeth starred in Misteri Dilaila and Abang Long Fadil 3 (2022), both directed by Syafiq. This film is also a project between Syafiq Kyle and Azira Shafinaz together after they previously appeared in television series, including Married Tapi Benci (2016) and One Cent Thief (2022). Azhan Rani was originally intended to be cast as Tony Ifrit, but was replaced by Aaron Aziz after being dropped from The Original Gangster (2024) due to some friction between Aaron and Syamsul Yusof.[3][4][5] Aaron reveals that Syamsul told him to inject for losing weight at first place.[6]
Syafiq added that he grew up watching police dramas and films, not just Gerak Khas but also Hollywood films such as Lethal Weapon and Die Hard.[2]
"Sheriff is based on real police stories in the West as well as Hong Kong and back home. I made sure that we got a star-studded cast of talented and popular names."
He also reveals that Syerif (Sheriff in Malay) was a working title for production.[2]
The film's principal photography ran for 81 days around Klang Valley from February to May 2023, right after the release of Polis Evo 3, also directed by Syafiq. The film was released in Malaysia, Brunei and Singapore cinema on 18 April 2024, a week after Eid al-Fitr.
Syafiq admitted that his father really liked the film he directed, but did not have the opportunity to show this film to his brother, Syamsul Yusof.[7] Syafiq told Harian Metro that this was the hardest film he ever directed not because of PDRM, but LPF's action on the film once its completed.[8]
In the trailer that uploaded, some people getting angry after shows "a whole" plot of the film, but Syafiq later deny it.[9] He reveal that he decided to reveal the "Meth Killer" (portrayed by Syafiq Kyle) to use reversed concept of "Whodunnit" or "Howcatchem".[9][10][11] He hopes that it can attracted audience to watch the film as it was Syafiq's first experimental with the concept.[12]
Faizal Noar, who previsouly worked with Syafiq Yusof as assistant director for Abang Long Fadil 3 (2022) and Hassan Muthalib were mentioned in the film for "creating" the fictional film for Sheriff, titled Hujan di Kuala Lumpur (Rain in Kuala Lumpur), in which used as a evidence from Nazri for what he do on the night when he was asked by Sheriff.

“I cannot say that I expect a certain (box office) collection, but looking at the film's (Sheriff) momentum from day to day as well as from what netizens have to say, we can say that there is confidence...but we cannot know how far it can go in terms of is collections,"

Controversies
[edit]Fake news about defamation of the Royal Malaysian Police
[edit]Syafiq debunked fake news alleging PDRM's investigation of Yusof for tarnishing their image, affirming on Twitter that the police granted permission for the film's production.[59]
Failure in Indonesian theatres and internet debate between Malaysians and Indonesians
[edit]The film sparked an online debate when a viral video published on 2 June, by a Malaysian TikTok personality named Thaqib Shaker argued that Sheriff's failure to reach box office success in Indonesia is caused by a deep-rooted Indonesian nationalism that dislikes anything about Malaysia.[60] Another TikTok video made on 3 June, by Syerleena Abdul Rashid, a Malaysian member of parliament (MP) from Bukit Bendera also went viral, said that the film's failure in Indonesia is "unfair" due to the dominance of Indonesian pop culture and creative industry in Malaysia without an "equal reciprocity" and promised to bring a motion to the Malaysian Parliament to limit the influx of Indonesian and foreign media.[61] To the press, Syafiq accepted the fact that Sheriff did not make a significant success in the Indonesian theatres after being released back on 23 April and screened via CGV Cinemas Indonesia and has since been pulled down from screens earlier than the expected target.[62]
The debate originally surfaced from X (formerly Twitter). On 31 May and 1 June, Syafiq published a series of posts on his official X account.
Syafiq Yusof @syafiqyusofMalay: Filem Sheriff tidak mendapat sambutan di Indonesia. Jadi, banyak tayangan telah diturunkan secara drastik. Apa-apa pun, saya berterima kasih kepada CGV Cinemas kerana membuka pintu dan memberi peluang untuk filem Malaysia ditayangkan di sana 🙏. Terima Kasih Indonesia 🇲🇾❤️🇮🇩
31 May 2024[63]
In the post, Syafiq said that Sheriff did not get a reception in Indonesia and the screening was pulled drastically. Malaysian netizens surged the comment section and scrutinised the cause of the film's general low reception in Indonesia. Malaysian netizens alleged that Indonesians were being unsupportive to Malaysia, overly nationalistic, or inherently disliked Malaysian films. The comment section became controversial when Malaysian netizens started to dehumanising Indonesian people, ranging from using various ethnic slurs, i.e. indon/indog, IQ 78/IQ gorilla (equating Indonesian average IQ to primates), konoha (a derogatory term of Indonesia, from a village mentioned in Naruto), babu (slave or servant), kuli Jawa (Javanese enslaved labour) etc.; insinuated that the film's low viewership was caused by poverty and lack of theatres; to disparaging Indonesian film industry to be of cheap, monotone, low quality, and inferior compared to Malaysia.
Both Syafiq posts on 31 May and 1 June were deleted due to the increasing amount of concerning comments from Malaysian netizens. The former post capture is still available from a Malaysian news report,[64] while the latter detail is unavailable from internet history. To address the issue, on 1 June, Syafiq stated in his post that: "Forced to delete the previous tweet that blew up in such a harmful way. Too many comments causing hostility. Please be safe everyone."[65]
Later, a post from an Indonesian X film forum that discussed the incident went viral.[66] Indonesian netizens were enraged after knowing that Malaysian netizens accused Indonesians for being prejudiced and having hatred towards Malaysia, who blamed the film's failure due to various reasons, such as close-mindedness and assertion of poorer Indonesian film industry quality compared to Malaysia. Furthermore, Malaysian netizens accused the Indonesian people for being ultranationalist because of Soekarno's legacy of Indonesia-Malaysia confrontation, then throwing racist and ethnic slurs toward the Indonesian people (and Javanese people, the largest ethnic group in Indonesia), accused that Indonesians (and Javanese) hated Malays and having the so-called Jakarta-centric or Java-centric mindset, and assuming that Indonesians are of lower intelligence than Malaysians,[66] which are stemmed from staunch anti-Indonesian sentiment. In the comment section of the post, Indonesians commented that the accusations and insults are ridiculous, irrelevant, hyperbolic, false, provocative, and racist towards the Indonesian and Javanese people.
Indonesian netizens responded to the accusation by telling that Sheriff's producer team did not even put an effort of marketing strategy at all to promote the film to the Indonesian mass and social media, thus caused the film to become unpopular to the public.[67] Netizens complained that they did not even know the existence of the film, only after the discourse went viral, which made Indonesians confused about why they became the subject of slander that came rather unsolicited from Malaysian netizens when the film itself was unknown prior to the incident.[68] They also denied the accusation of Indonesians' hatred towards Malaysia, claiming that Indonesians have always been open and supportive of Malaysian film industry, especially the cult following of Upin & Ipin and BoBoiBoy, two successful Malaysian animated film in Indonesia, since the debut.[64] Additionally, netizens were also disgusted to the allegation that Indonesians were being ultranationalist or xenophobic, when in fact Indonesian reception to foreign media is more liberal, free, and open than Malaysian conservative Islamic society,[69] which then Indonesian netizens argued that Malaysia was just projecting their own racism mentality that is deeply entrenched by Malay supremacy concept against "inferior" Indonesians. To beat the allegation, netizens commented by giving proof that a Thai film How To Make Millions Before Grandma Dies, another Southeast Asian film that is screened concurrently with Sheriff in Indonesia, received a remarkable success in Indonesian theatres, even to the point that the director appreciated the Indonesian public,[70] concluding that it has nothing to do with excessive national pride.
Netizens explained that Indonesia has since experienced progress in film industry and advises Malaysia to introspect and upgrade theirs to match the Indonesian film industry's evergrowing quality and prominence in international stage, by comparing the worldwide success of The Raid, an Indonesian film with similar premise which was released far earlier in 2011, also other Indonesian action films that received global acknowledgements like The Big 4, The Night Comes for Us, 13 Bombs in Jakarta, Stealing Raden Saleh, and requested Malaysians to compete fairly and adhere to the principle of free market.[67] People also added that Indonesians have no obligation to fulfill Malaysian expectation because a film reception is merely a matter of personal taste.
After the chaos, in an X thread, Syafiq released an apology statement to the dispute and to hold responsibility to his previously deleted posts that initially caused the blunder.

In the first post, he said that "the sentiments that said Sheriff didn't hit success in Indonesia because Indonesians didn't support Malaysian films are wrong". He admitted that the failure is caused purely by his own. In the second post, he stated that the Indonesian public is in a rightful way to choose films to watch freely and admitted that Sheriff did not yet satisfy the high Indonesian film industry standard, especially Indonesian action films, thus a films' failure is ought not to be blamed to the audience, but the filmmaker instead. In the final post, he concluded with a statement that he is responsible for the box office miss, promised to upgrade his prospective films, and thanked the Indonesian public for the opportunity to screen Sheriff there.

Filem Sheriff pasal korupsi dalam PDRM, truthful, realistic, kualiti audio & visual dalam filem bertaraf Hollywood! Sepanjang filem hati aku tak henti berdebar2, ending puas hati, fighting scene dan aksi tembak menembak kemas dan epic, lakonan 110% drpd semua cast especially Zul Arifin & Syafiq Kyle. Sebuah anjakan paradigma bagi industri perfileman Malaysia, dah lama aku tak berdebar camni tonton filem tempatan.
