BoardChiri Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

alanclarke-78565 I was looking for a couple of hours of switching off my brain but found myself trying to work out why Angel's coffee machine was rigged as a bomb, why they were tied to chairs and one of them shot, how they knew the mad killer would be going to a train station, why an early lead they had didn't tell them that the death was an accident, and then after the end trying to work out why Angel was bound and thrown into the river to make it look like a murder.Not only that I'm still trying to work out why one reviewer here asked "Why would this movie be in English?" - that comment does make some critics who get paid seem quite intelligent and objective.All in all, quite thought provoking...

Stephen Abell Oh dear lord, this really was a waste of talent. I find that on the whole most martial arts experts can be quite wooden when it comes to acting, this is probably because the director is focusing on the fight sequences and not too overly bothered by the story or the acting skills of their cast. This movie has so much wood the DVD player got splinters and was crying out in pain to play me this film.The only good aspect of this film is Gary Daniels who actually proves his acting ability, which isn't too hard.The bad thing is I have great respect for, not only Gary Daniels, but the rest of the cast Dustin Nguyen, Scott Adkins, and Kane Kosugi. So to watch them in something this dire was sad.I'm going to rest the blame for this travesty on the writer and director Wych Kaosayananda, who's story is drawn out, boring, and depressing; filled with one-dimensional characters who nobody can relate to or empathise with. His direction is worse than his storytelling. There is one scene where he shoots upwards at three actors; this means you only see them from the groyne upwards. Eighty percent of the shot is sky and he even burns this. Had this been a blue sky with clouds, a fly-by by a plane or a group of birds might have made it artistic; however, it's lazy and badly planned.It's so bad they even tried a rebranding from Zero Tolerance to leech off the success of the Denzil Washington and Mark Wahlberg film 2 Guns, by adding it to the beginning of their title. But BEWARE this is NOT a sequel or prequel... it has nothing to do with 2 Guns whatsoever. Naughty Naughty!!!If you see this on telly or on a dirt cheap DVD don't be conned into watching it like I was - turn away and run. There's so much better out there to watch than this.

zardoz-13 If you're a Scott Adkins' fan, watching Thai writer & director Wych Kaosayananda's "2 Guns: Zero Tolerance" is going to definitely disappoint you. I enjoy Scott Adkins epics, but this was a total letdown! Basically, Scott appears in something like three scenes, and he plays a slimy villain. This action thriller concerns two tough guys, Johnny (Dustin Nguyen of "Heaven & Earth") and Peter (Sahajak Boonthanakit of "No Escape"), searching whoever killed Johnny's daughter Angel (newcomer Nina Paosut) after her body is discovered in a river. "2 Guns" is really a messed up movie. Initially, it was released as "Angels" in 2012, and then Kaosayananda reedited this crime thriller and added new footage of Scott Adkins. The irony is that Johnny and Peter learn that Angel had become a prostitute and died when she overdosed on cocaine while participating in a threesome. She drowned in the pool where the three of them were frolicking. Now, Johnny and Peter wipe out half of Bangkok in their efforts to determine who killed his daughter. Nobody, it turns out, killed her, but a lot of villains in the Thai underworld suffer the wrath of Johnny and Peter before they learn the truth. The most striking thing about "2 Guns" is the resemblance that Dustin Nguyen bears to late action icon Charles Bronson. He is a dead ringer for Bronson. Don't squander your time on this half-baked actioneer. Let's hope that Scott made some decent dough with his second version. Kaosayananda is known for "Ballistic: Ecks Vs. Sever" and "Tekken 2." Don't be taken in by the deceptive cover photo on this DVD.

quincytheodore You have to commend Scott Adkins' tenacity, he's been churning out movies regularly by the months now, although none as compelling as The Undisputed, one that made him staple action hero. His role here is minimum and seemingly plastered for the draw of his name. The core story is a father sets out for vengeance, its simplicity could work better if not for the awful camera display which often too close or sporadic to be enjoyable.When the news of his daughter's death reaches him, Johnny (Dustin Nguyen) goes on a part investigation and part rampage throughout Thailand. For almost the entire part, this is the main story and the performance is fitting for rough Asian crime drama. The characters seem like the veteran cops that have street smart. However, the screenplay is disjointed, they would interrogate a person, get into a fight, then resume investigation randomly, the continuity is far from smooth.There's an attempt to build intimate sympathy for Angel, the fallen daughter, yet the movie lacks any sophistication to make her beyond plot device or basic motivation. Simple conversation is presented with fast cut editing, changing from one face to another with extreme close-up. This is really distracting since it could've been shot in one continuous framing instead, and these dialogues made the bulk of the movie, yet audience would only see the character staring each other with rigid expression.If the camera is shaky in simple scene, it goes horribly wrong in fighting sequences. People would get punched off screen or someone would fire a barrage and the visual zooms in the wrong way, it barely has any clear focus in the critical fights, which are so few and far between. Despite having decent roster for action, the combat is unsatisfying as it only presents a couple basic fisticuffs. Furthermore, sound effect and the spark effect from gun would be off like dud of firework.It's not all bad though, the cinematography for scenery looks good and the display of nudity is not as hackneyed as one would think, the ambiance would benefit more from these exotic locales. However, there are too many faulty elements for the crime thriller to be appealing, and its expected action draw is disappointing as well.
