Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
bcheng93 ...i think this movie is OK for teenagers and people with low i.q. for once i agree with reviewer "basiclogic". this reviewer just kills all Chinese movies just-about. but....yah...this movie was that bad, i tried to stick it out but had to turn it off after 20 minutes. i was hoping it would be a really good comedy..but in the first 20 minutes i didn't get 1 laugh out of it. the movie is also stereotyping Chinese people but its a Chinese movie...thats low. this movie tries to be a gag a minute but after 20 minutes it wasn't working for me. its good for people who are racist against the Chinese. for all the good movies coming out of China you're going to get some bad ones too. its a shame really..Chinese making fun of Chinese..would be OK if it was funny, but it's not. watch at own risk...be warned.
subxerogravity I thought the movie was very, very funny.It had some very good jokes in it. You get nervous seeing comedies in a different language than your own and wonder if you'll get the jokes, but the jokes were a simplistic base of comedy that everyone can laugh atPlus several of the jokes were visual slap stick that was just universal. In fact the movie all together was visually simulating, which showed Thailand's Chinatown to be a very colorful place.The two main actors in this were an exceptional team as well. The movie is about a young man who fails out of the police academy despite his exceptional skills in observation (he plays the straight man). TY get over his depression he visits an uncle who lives in Thailand (he plays the screw ball) Together they have to solve a murder while looking for a gangster's gold. It was a really fun, entertaining film to watch.
timbermisc I don't speak Mandarin, but I thought it was a quality movie. 100 gags; the audience was laughing lightly through most of the movie. This movie was produced in China and has similarities to a Jackie Chan movie, except that it is slightly better. It has a silly, comedic timing mixed with some serious, violent scenes. The audience was filled. I only speak English, but it had subtitles. They spoke rather fast, so I could not keep up with their words, but the scenes told the story. Basically, two detectives are on a hunt for gold and a murderer. There is everything in this movie: a beauty queen, a tiny amount of sexiness, mobster actors, a straight man comedic partnership, racing scenes, dancing, excellent marital arts fights and beautiful scenes.
BasicLogic Another terrible and ridiculous garbage movie from China, wasted lot of money to shoot it in Thailand. The screenplay was just ridiculous and absurd to the extreme, the casting, Jesus wept, so bad, the acting, I really can't stop my head and neck to shake horizontally. This kind of movies would only be appealed to viewers with low I.Q. and poor education. By keep watching this kind of movies would undoubtedly damage your brain cells, not just your wallet.After the Chinese enjoyed the sudden prosperous wealth in almost every trade you could imagine, lot of people have become so rich, but their tastes simply failed to catch up with their fortune, they just wanted to become 'Investor', or "Movie Producer" and printed such newly added titles on their business cards. They blindly threw their easily earned money once they were approached by some con-artists in the Chinese movie industries before even understood what is what. Therefore, so many media companies jumped into the cesspool to produce movies either trying to release on the big silver screens or on the on-line PC monitors with so many bad screenplays, bad so-called directors and actors. The result is so many barely watchable, so stupid, ridiculous, messy movies were churned out monthly and yearly. The only trick was to sign up certain famous actors, male or female, to be the leading role and put their names on the posters for the selling point. These actors just shamelessly jumped on the money train to make more money while they were still either hot or popular.This god-awful farce is just like what I have pointed out on the above. They signed up a still popular ugly actor to be the main character, an absolutely unbelievable Chinese Thai police detective in Bangkok Chinatown, then with a mix of clowns and jerks to be the supporting characters, adding another young lamer to be the kinfolk of the clown-like Chinatown detective, finally patched up such god-forbidden farce.You have to become a complete idiot to watch this or, you don't have to suffer such transformation since you are already a moron with a complete fried brain, then both of such pathetic beings might enjoy this farce and keep laughing non-stop. Consider this review is a sincere warning with goodwill.
