Lucybespro It is a performances centric movie

Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

Salubfoto It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

Takeshi-K This feels more like the post modernist classic that American critics claim Pulp Fiction was. Fah talai jone is a bravura technicolor clash of colors and vibrant energy. Imagine Andy Warhol and Takashi Miike collaborating on making a 1950s popcorn counter postcard come alive and you get some sense of what its all about.The themes and motifs though are very archetypal and familiar. Cowboy and Western motifs abound in what is decidedly an Eastern film, and the plot structure is the stuff of pure romantic formula - a boy meets girl, boy loses girl, boy gets girl in the end.But its this movie's style that invigorates. Its a romp in the good old fashioned sense, where the frenetic use of color, editing and in your face acting is what makes it so unique.Another example that Thailand punches above its weight.

Scars_Remain Westerns have never really been my cup of tea, I usually feel bored or I just turn them off. However, this Thai western was awesome. There's a good amount of comedy, heart and violence. I never thought I'd be seeing a western from Thailand, but maybe that's what made it better for me. This one is big time fun.The filming and camera work both seem very amateurish and it takes away from the experience a bit, which is the reason I didn't give this movie a 9. The acting is a little iffy at times but good for the most part. Everything else is great, the comedy, the romance and most of all, the bloody violence! See it now or I'll come to your house!

poe426 Thai filmmakers are making some great inroads, and TEARS OF THE BLACK TIGER is a prime example thereof. The storyline, which owes as much to Sergio Leone's spaghetti westerns as anything else, is all over the road- intentionally. I couldn't help but laugh out loud at some of the over-the-top shenanigans. All done with a straight face. (And funny in their own special way, too; not as in-your-face as, say, guilty pleasures like TOP SECRET! or REVENGE OF THE NERDS II, but not totally removed, either.) The "old school cinema" look was ideal- and inspired. Something old and something new going on, here. If you're a true lover of cinema, I highly recommend TEARS OF THE BLACK TIGER.

robertocartera The Black Tiger was so gorgeous! I kept having cardiac arrhythmia every time on screen.Unfortunately IMDb has no picture or listing for the actor involved, otherwise I would be contacting him to let him know that i am his NUMBER ONE FAN! a la Kathy Bates.....i thought that the movie itself was wonderful entertainment and that the scenes of the central protagonists indicated that this director is capable of some very poignant, serious work which i hope he goes on to explore. i am thinking particularly of the fight over the boats on the lake. i was quite gripped by this and found it very moving.i just hope that his next flick also stars my favourite actor....
