Artivels Undescribable Perfection

Wordiezett So much average

Bluebell Alcock Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

toddg-473-289818 So Djimon Hounsou, of Blood Diamond fame, wants to take the lead as both producer and lead actor in film designed to raise awareness about human trafficking in southeast Asia? Unfortunately, this movie misses its mark on several levels. First, it is never made clear until the end of the movie when the closing credits are rolling that we are talking about human trafficking rather than prostitution. Only a couple references to enslavement by drug addiction are given, but what is being fought against is still murky at best. In addition, the closing credits describe "children" as those being trafficked, but none of the victimized girls in this movie looked like children to me. They all looked like young adults, probably late teens to early twenties in age. The producers could have cast younger actresses if they wanted to send a clear message about "children." Second, why would Kevin Bacon lend his name and reputation to this amateurish movie? He plays a self described Brit, but until that declaration, I assumed by his accent that he was playing an Aussie.The only thing this movie got right was how the imaginary girl named Mae described Buddhist culture. Reincarnation is a big part of that culture, and her message of how and why people do things in their current life can affect what happens to them later was accurate. This concept explains something I saw firsthand in Thailand, which is that feral dogs are beaten into submission, but well cared for afterward.All of those points aside, the script is weak, the characters are one dimensional, and this movie isn't worthy of its desire to be taken seriously as a morality tale.

alanflow-595-891565 At last a film with depth , non stop action, brilliant acting and a plausible plot with real meaning.I rarely give a film top marks but this beats most films.This explores the seedy side of Bangkok yet also shows the strength of the human spirit to show kindness to others.This film is deep, not for the superficial minded, but for those who want action with meaning.Spiritual, inspiring, exciting, gripping,what more can any intelligent film viewer want ?.In a word Brilliant.

Daniel Hollis Sometimes a straight to DVD release can slip under the radar and become a highly under-rated and cult hit. 'Elephant White' does not fall under this category. Djimon Hounsou stars as professional hit man Church who is contracted to avenge the murder of his client's daughter. Alongside is Kevin Bacon, an arms dealer known as Jimmy who assists Church while he tracks down the men who committed this terrible act.The horrific abomination that this movie is seeps through from the very start where subject matters are introduced and dealt in truly sleazy ways. One being the a side story revolving around teenage prostitution that puts no effort into showing how revolting it truly is but merely using the dark subject and trivializing it to push the plot forward. The character development barely changes from what they all originally were. Church remains a destructive force, merely dispersing people feeling no remorse or consequence for his actions. It would be understandable if the film was trying to remain a bland action film but it feels as though it's constantly trying to push out some awareness to something but failing in every sense due to terrible direction from director Prachya Pinkaew.All these points are nothing compared to the absolutely stale performances that are woven within this destructively vile film. Notably the worst performancethat Kevin Bacon has done in his career. He brings across his own take of a British accent, which teeters between that of a southern Englishman and an Australian. Accompanied with this is his Keith Richards impersonation he adds to the mix, which brings it to the point that you actually want to avert your eyes. Jirantanin Pitakporntrakul stars in her first role as Mae, a 14-year-old teenage prostitute and after this performance it wouldn't be surprising if it was her last role. She comes across and whiny, annoying and self centered, which could all be down to poor direction but that would not change the fact her character was not believable or easy to relate to.There is absolutely nothing to take from Elephant White, aside from a semi-enjoyable sniper segment but even after that you'll have a sour taste in your mouth just for even thinking there was something enjoyable to take away from this film. It's dripping in filth, un-moral subject matters and bland, annoying characters. Truly one of the worst films in recent memory that nobody should have to endure.

sjdd I usually am not so picky with movies I see, I am not a harsh critic normally. But, this movie Elephant White has to be one of the WORST movies I have seen in my life. It was so embarrassingly AWFUL. How can Kevin Bacon do a movie like this!! First, the movie made ZERO sense, the plot was terrible. And Kevin Bacon had this terrible British accent...I cant believe 2 great actors would agree to do a movie like this.....what a joke and an insult to Hollywood....I don't even know if they got paid for this movie, but if they did it would be a disgrace...What a waste, really if you see it you will think it is a joke! I would give it a 0 out of 100. It was simply that BAD!
