Louis Mandylor is a seasoned actor with a lot of films under his belt but, has mainly played support roles throughout his career. You get some fine views of the city and a well choreographed bunch of action scenes; the best, as 1 reviewer has remarked, being the rooftop battle.

I enjoyed watching it even though it did have a few scenes that seemed to be idea's running low. When the pace was not slow (there are only 3 or 4 of these moments) it is a sharp well paced unfurling of events. The support actors all do a good job and make it a film that lies somewhere between an A and B film. Camera work throughout is well done and you will like the city views.

I would say that it lacked tension and tense moments but, this may be different for other viewers.

It's not a terrible B-movie for sure, but it is definitely one, because of the presence of these many B-movie actors, that just dont cut it.

But the biggest problem with this movie is the fact that despite their lack of charisma and talent these B-movie actors still do try to act seriously in a dramatic way, which totally fails!

Not terrible for sure, because they honestly tried to make a serious crime drama, but there simply is nothing much worse than trying to aim for the highest when one has zero talents for achieving that goal.

This movie could have been okay (ish) as a B-movie, if it had only been a straight forward shootout gangster movie with lots of fights, but that's the mistake they made, they wanted it be a serious crime drama, with LOTS of seriouis dialogue, which ended up being a big failure.

The is a "B" film with a very weak story and many weal elements, including the script and the overly complicated nature of how the story is told. The saving grace of the film is the screen presence of Lousi Mandylor. Mandylor has established himself as the most solid and consistent presence in "B" action and tough guy films. He has had some great ones, most notable the two Debt Collector films, but this one falls short of those. Regardless, he s good here. So is the action. The fights and settings are fun. I happen to watch this on the day after the big Earthquake in Myanmar and Thailand, which was by coincidence, but made it a little different to watch.

This for me, a strange watch. I remember the main actor, was in a movie with Scott Adkins. 2 good fun movies. Debt Collectors.

So, this movie, a very strange video aspect, it appears that if you look at the screen, about one quarter of the movie if missing on the left side.... But, it is what it is.

So, the story, I get it, maybe some subtitles for the Thai language would be helpful, but an enjoyable movie, action as expected.

So a bit of vengeance in this but not fully explained in the original synopsis.

Moving forward, I thought it was enjoyable, having no idea what the thai language parts meant, but did not spoil the movie at all.

As far as an action movie, all good, enjoy the watch. If you happen to see with full english subs, would be useful.

An interesting take on the issue of kidnappings and killings in the Southeast Asian region, this action thriller failed to attract audiences around the world. For me it was not only slow-paced but anticlimactic. The performances, not only by the supporting characters but by the protagonist as well, were bland and so stereotypical of action movies wherein the dramatic performances were slowly diminishing in quality and depth. The storyline, however, was solid and interesting. The amount of violence and gory scenes were just sufficient for me. It would have been a more thrilling ride if it was longer.
