Good story, Not enough for a whole film
Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.
This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.
I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
Other people said enough about the language issues, silly story and bad acting. As a fan of good martial arts action those parts are not thaat essential, so let's talk about the action.It's not the pinnacle of martial arts movies but, taking into account how high the bar has been set by Ong Bak and The Raid: Redemption, you can still call it pretty damn good. For the most part there is no shaky cam. When shaky cam is used it's not for making the action look faster and harder but rather as stylistic means for the scene. Every fight scene is different. The style of choreography varies a bit, the stage is never the same (from locations with almost no room to fight to completely open street) and also the directing is never completely the same. For some scenes the latter works, for some it does not so well. But you definitely won't get bored.With a bit of luck the dry comments from the main character might even hit your humor. The emotionless way he delivers a couple of lines made me giggle hard a few times :).
Alright, so it wasn't a triple-a production movie. Throughout the movie I loved the filmography, story, and character development. I'm all about obscure netflix foreign movies, and this was a very entertaining, excellent ending movie.While many give it low ratings, from someone who only watches foreign movies on netflix, it was a blast to watch. Great story, while very typical, but it progressed through the movie and character developments where obviously seen, and felt. The ending was one of the best foreign movie endings iv'e seen, obviously minus the classics, but it is well deserving above a 4.5. I'd say an 8/10 is an adequate rating for this movie.Great action scenes, the main actor obviously has tremendous martial arts skills. Reminded me of a tony jaa or donnie yen martial arts, which are great to watch
This movie kind of surprised me. As an avid fan of all things martial arts , I must say I did not walk away disappointed in this movie. here is my grading for the movie:Acting - 4 out of 10 Writing - 3 out of 10 Plot - 3 out of 10 Atmosphere - 5 out of 10 Directing - 6 out of 10 - mostly because they allow the user to see most of the action, rather than the shaky cam obsession in America. Action - 8 out of 10Yes, 8 out of 10. Sure, Ong Bok, The Protector, The Raid, Ip Man, etc. are way better but this movie tries its hardest to emulate those films as best it can while also distinguishing itself. I found it refreshing that the good guy actually gets hit in this movie and takes a very serious beating at time - something most martial arts movies suffer from; the "no one can touch me even though there are 20 of them" mentality. This guy gets his butt kicked but does manage to dish it out. Jon Foo is an odd one for me. He sounds Australian at times, Irish in others, and looks Asian yet American at the same time. Very odd but it works for him. However, all that aside, he has some serious moves and has great potential. Is he Tony Jaa? No, not many people are. But he is damn good and someone I look forward to keeping an eye on. Definitely watch this movie if you are in the mood for a cheesy movie with some serious fight scenes in them. Jon Foo can dish it out - especially the fight scene on the subway. Overall, a 6 out of 10.
Bankok Revenge, Rebirth or Monkey Ass, whatever it's called, is not a good movie. I'd go as far to say that it's actually terrible. The plot is mostly there just to guide the main character through various events that almost always lead into decent fights. They're not groundbreaking by any means, but the fact that the dude barely breaks a sweat is kind of hilarious. Acting's bad, and the accents are very, very distracting. Especially the girl. What makes it almost worthwhile though, is the main guy. Funny and charming, he breaks limbs as if they're crackers, while spiting cheesy yet awesome pieces of dialogue. It's not Ong Bak, and it's definitely not The Raid, but it makes you wonder just how much can personality impact a movie.
