Final Target

A terrible ,poorly made movie not Kung Fu, I wouldn't dare disgrace the genre. an action thriller perhaps ?if it was I wouldn't have half slept through it ..state of the standard of movies to come ?no ..please . I hope not ..

The version I saw of this movie was dubbed in Hindi with no English subtitles so I'm not really sure what it's about. I think the leading lady works for the CIA in Bangkok ? Anyhow it's got some pretty women in it. And if you stick with it the ending is pretty good with a lot of swordplay and fire.

I lasted 19 minutes and 14 seconds. That was all I could take. And I watched all of Ishtar, so I've seen some garbage.

The action has potential but doesn't come close to reaching it.

On the acting, think William Shatner's stilted, halting speech pattern but greatly and grossly exaggerated at times.

There were several plot lines introduced in the short time I watched. I am clueless about the direction it was going, so I gave up.

All in all, this just really wasn't a good movie.

THE VANQUISHER is possibly the worst Thai film I've ever watched, and I've sat through some of their dodgy horror and ghost flicks in my time. This low budget action film is basically the Thai version of THE BOURNE IDENTITY. It stars Sophita Sriban (wooden) as a member of an assassin squad, working for the CIA, who is betrayed and left for dead by her own team leader (the equally wooden Jacqui A. Thananon).

Years later, the hunt for Middle Eastern terrorist Wajib sees the two cross paths once more as they become caught up in a needlessly complicated storyline involving the CIA, a crusading police squad, hired mercenaries, and a gang of evil Japanese ninjas. The plotting is completely confusing and doesn't seem to make much sense, leading me to scratch my head for the most part.

If you thought the writing was bad, check out the action sequences. They're hideously conceived and directed in the most awful way imaginable. Occasionally a scene of gob-smacking awfulness comes along (the CGI train, for instance) to distract you from the general inanity of it all for a few minutes, but only for a few minutes. But then you're back in the B-movie universe of Thai cinema, where the actresses struggle to speak their English lines phonetically and have zero inflection in their voices. It does pick up slightly - very slightly - in the last half an hour, but this is never anything less than a complete dud.

Everything about this movie is bad , from the cinematic's to the bad acting to the apparent low budget, other than the experience I do not understand why anybody would make a movie like this.

I would honestly not even waste 2 hours of my time to watch this.
