Prior to his film debut, Taslim worked as a model in print ads and commercials. He made his acting debut in the 2008 film Karma.

In 2010, he won the role of Jaka, a sergeant in a special police squad, in the award-winning The Raid, after a series of fight auditions and reading.

Following The Raid, Taslim took part in HBO Asia's first action horror film, Dead Mine, which had a theatrical release in selected Asian territories in September 2012, followed by exclusive television premieres across the HBO Asia network.[5][6][7][8]

Taslim appeared in the feature film Fast & Furious 6 (2013), as the villainous Jah, a mercenary who uses his martial arts to fight two of the film's protagonists, Roman Pearce (Tyrese Gibson) and Han Seoul-Oh (Sung Kang).[9]

In May 2013, it was reported that Taslim would star in the action thriller The Night Comes for Us.[10] In September 2014, pre-production on the film was halted[11] and the script was instead adapted as a graphic novel. The film was eventually released by Netflix on 19 October 2018.[12]

In 2016, he played an antagonist character, Manas, a former first officer of Captain Balthazar Edison (played by Idris Elba), Anderson Le, turned into an alien in Star Trek Beyond.

In 2017, Taslim was cast in the role of Li Yong in the Cinemax action series, Warrior.[13] He played Li Yong, a Long Zii enforcer and secretly Mai Ling's lover. His character serves as a rival to the series' protagonist Ah Sahm.[13] The series premiered on 5 April 2019.[14]

In July 2019, Taslim was cast as Bi-Han / Sub-Zero in the Mortal Kombat reboot.[15] The film premiered in April 2021 in theaters and on HBO Max. Taslim will reprise the role in the sequel Mortal Kombat II, with the character coming back as Noob Saibot.[16]
