Matcollis This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.
AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks
Stellead Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful
Stephanie There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
zetes Four Europeans vacationing in Bangkok get indebted to the mob. To pay that debt they decide to kidnap the teenage daughter of a rich man. That backfires when they find out the rich man was going to kill his daughter anyway. Now he intends to pin it on them. This movie is pretty freaking awful. The plot makes little sense, the four heroes are just complete douchebags (they're only the tiniest bit less evil than the picture's villain), and not a single performer in the film can act worth a damn. However, it has one pretty big advantage that raises it above what would otherwise have been one of the worst movies ever made: good action sequences. Not great ones, mind you (they're edited a bit too rapidly, although for the most part you can tell what's happening), but they're fun and exciting. About the whole last third of the movie is made up of action, and it becomes quite watchable for a good half hour. Certainly not much to recommend, but I've seen worse.
andell Okay, so lets sum up the plot pretty quickly: four Europeans get into gambling problems in Thailand, and decide to kidnap the daughter of a wealthy man in order to collect the money and solve their problems.That pretty much sums it up, and although there are some minor variances, that's it. Indeed, at some points the film descends into obnoxiousness, apparently for no other reason than because it's depraved sense of humour swings that way.For instance, the useless dread locked crack head (I still am not sure if he's French, German or English...at various times, his accent seemed to swing back an forth), watching a debtor having his fingers broken for not paying his debt as a warning, pipes in to remind the gangster that he hasn't broken enough of the debtor's fingers. I mean, WTF??? Yes, there's action...but the problem with martial arts films of this day is that they try so hard to look groundbreaking that at the end of the day, they look overdone.So much energy expended to rotate ten times more than is necessary to kick the tar out of anonymous henchmen...kinda defeats the purpose of martial arts that were designed to maximize defensive technique with minimal energy expended! After a time, it gets so redundant that it's tiresome! I guess there are a few very pretty guys in the film, and so there is some eye candy...but not enough to save this dreck from being a stinker you should avoid!
Joost Staaks To start with, this isn't a super great title, but still one to watch! The acting is really bad for some of the characters. The mafia boss who's the dad of the kidnapped girl fails in every way of acting for example and the very bad pronunciation of the Asian people kinda ruins it as well. The story is also very very bad.Still i gave this movie 6 out of 10, here's why: The fights, moves, and choreography are awesome, i haven't seen a movie with this much, and this exciting moves in a while. It's good that there's a lot of this in the movie because it really takes it up a lot of points. Just incredible to watch. Also there are some funny moments, although not all of them work as well as they should.This movie really reminds me of titles like: B13 and The Great Challenge. I hope that this movie brings people like Daniel O'Neill and Gwion Jacob Miles to bigger titles, they do act good, and are really stars when it comes to great choreography and fights.
ichocolat Four friends, who came to visit Thailand had run afoul with gangsters who demanded their money back, in which the four friends had lost in gambling.The gangsters had come so close in chopping off their hands when they suggested that they'd pay back the money in a week's time. The leader surprisingly agreed.They'd tried many things to get the money, but none seem to work. One member even resort to teaching teakwondo to schoolchildren! And another member had to be in fights but after deductions on his collections, the money was not that much.So after exhausting all possible ways of collecting money, they decided to kidnap a daughter of a rich conglomerate.Fun ensued! They'd have to ward off bodyguards, escaped from police detections. And worst of all, they have to take care of the girl they kidnapped! There a a lot of action scenes, lots of jokes, but sans storyline. Well, just the perfect recipe for a film suitable to be watched on a lazy weekend!
