Watch Only God Forgives For Free

hyped garbage

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

This movie is pure art, as behind beautiful cinematography and deep symbolism, is a disturbing story of emotionless, empty people, committing acts beyond what we would think of doing. This will definitely be a classic one day!

It is difficult to fathom why a star actor like Ryan Gosling would act in a low budget, Thailand based B grade movie like this one...But after watching the movie for a few minutes one gets sucked into the underbelly of a Tourist hub like Bangkok..Special mention to the performance of the lady playing Ryan's mother...Class act..

Beautifully (deceptively) quiet, shockingly violent, ultimately captivating. I can't remember when last I felt (in a good way) the director's presence in a movie so much. Still, a lot of it is style over substance. Never got emotionally involved with the characters or carried away with the plot. Like the girls in the club, I had to close my eyes when the violence got too bloody. (viewed 9/16)

This is as good if not better than Violent Cop (1989) by Beat Kitano. When I saw the shorts I thought the Thai cop was evil. Now I know better...heh-heh. But hey, what about the scene before last? Was that just a dream? Or did he really make the final cut?
