ChanBot i must have seen a different film!!

Senteur As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

Salubfoto It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

Janis One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

gr8fyl Ditto what everyone else said.Call me a glutton for punishment, but I think I've figured out what's so G-D awful about this complete waste of celluloid.Unless I'm wrong I think this entire mess was filmed in Hong Kong. The American actors had their lines dubbed into Chinese (or possibly French, who the F--- cares), and then re-over-dubbed back into English, which explains why reviewer placebotonic says the audio sounds like it's trying to be a Sergio Leone soundtrack.Ting Wo Kwong is trying too hard to be Jack Wu.Either Caubet or Lemaitre must have the stereotypes in mind of these 5 "typical" Americans, and the supporting bad-cop characters. One of them thought Paul Sorvino could pull off playing a Jewish lawyer. Everyone involved in this fiasco, including the actors who accepted the job, seem to agree. And maybe the unsophisticated Pacific Rim agrees, but I doubt it.If there's a story somewhere in this mess, it's not worth trying to follow.I can maybe, maybe, understand Madsen and Carradine and DMX being tempted by some foreign producer's lure of a week-long shoot in an exotic locale, all expenses paid, and maybe above-scale pay. And the poor actors do what they can with this fish-wrapper of a screenplay. One gets the sense that they are mumbling their lines at the same time they are thinking to themselves, "Think of the money. Thank goodness this will never be released in the States." But Sorvino? Sorvino?! What's he doing in this?? Picture Paul Sorvino in 'Goodfellas'. Then picture him as the baseball manager in 'Mr 3000' where he out-acts everyone in the movie without delivering a single line for the first 90 minutes, then argues with an umpire, then sits silent for the rest of the film. 'Romeo & Juliet'. 'Law & Order'. 'Cruising.' Heck, he played Bruce Willis' dad on 'Moonlighting'. He should KNOW A PIECE OF CRAP when he reads one. He should have an agent who should have a script reader who should know a piece of crap when he reads one. Think of Sorvino in all those roles. Now picture his fat face wearing a China cap, smiling at what's supposed to be his daughter(?)in the rice field in the end of this movie. Then picture him smiling and crying when his real daughter Mira won the Oscar for a Woody Allen movie. Then back to the China cap scene. Painful.The only thing I can think of that remotely makes sense is that this movie is really a Quentin Tarantino film in disguise, and that the horrible story, dreadful acting, abysmal editing and impossible audio are all part of the design, like the motif in 'Deathproof'. Either way, the producers have gotten one over on us.

SullW730 I've never seen this movie but i felt obligated to comment on yhayasaka's remark that "carradine, madsen and dmx aren't exactly A-grade actors". With the exception of dmx i find those comments to be a complete disgrace. How dare you insult two of the most dominating actors of our time with such filth, if David Carradine and Michael Madsen aren't A-Grade actors than i don't know what is. In case you forgot David Carradine was Kwai Chang Caine in Kung Fu, one of the greatest TV show of all-time, that alone absolves him from criticism and Michael Madsen's performance as Mr. Blonde in Reservoir Dogs is also something that deserves immense respect. Yhayasaka is clearly a fool to say such things about Carradine and Madsen's acting skills.

ZheMole I could not believe my eyes-or my ears! This film, if that's what you choose to call it, is by far one of the biggest wastes of time known to man. I, luckily, was smart enough not to finish this junk as I could not take it anymore. It just baffles me how DMX, Madsen and Carrdine would have even agreed to show up to the set, much less agreed to be in this junk. The audio sounds like a third grade theater arts class did the editing and possible gave suggestions to the video editing department too! The only thing I call tell you is that if you feel like you have too much time left on this earth and you can't think of anything constructive to do...watch this.

rahul raul This is my first review. The moment i saw the film i wanted to send an emergency warning to all, the movie is unbelievably bad. I couldn't see at a stretch so i kind of split it into three halves and each time i just wished i hadn't started this one.I have seen hundreds of Movies but very few with such Bad acting, The performances were amateurish, the story with the plot could have been so much better, this one seemed liked it was stitched from different different movies, bad movies of course. The whole crew looked like such wannabes that one could pity them, in fact i should pity myself and all for bearing such an awful movie.All i can say is avoid at any cost. Trust me you are not going to like this one.
