Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment
UnowPriceless hyped garbage
Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
sjculb3 Ben Chaplin (Birthday Girl) plays Eric, a former acrobat turned thief for a wealthy, but deadly collector. When Eric finally steals an artifact of great importance to his acrobatic foster family, he decides to steal it back and begin a treasure hunt with his former child love, Michelle Yeoh.The plot is the same as pretty much all the films of the genre. A group of noble treasure hunters goes out on a dangerous journey but is pursued by a killer and along the way they find love, loose a few people and end up happy.The first hour you will admire that the sets aren't cheap and Ben Chaplin does a halfway decent job of playing Eric. Michelle is fair at best and the rest of the cast are awful. The rest of the film makes you wish you could fast forward to the climax and the treasure part....when you get there you will wish you hadn't wasted your time.
blncub What's wrong with people? whoever started comparing it to "crouching tiger..."? of course you would be disappointed if you expect a similar film, but that's like comparing "the pianist" with the upcoming "king kong" just because adrian brody is in both of them.the touch is actually not even a typical hongkong movie. it feels more like a really good American adventure movie from the early 90's - at the end i couldn't even stop myself from thinking about indiana jones. the film has a nice flow, a great chemistry between the leads and some great goofy humor. and most impressive of all, some amazing cinematography. just those beautiful landscapes alone are worth watching "the touch".sure, the special effects in the final are really bad, they actually look like they have never been finished. some actors are pretty bad, too. but this movie is not about excellent acting but about harmless fun - just everything a nice action adventure should be. don't expect anything else and you'll be pleasantly surprised.
Juni78ukr I have seen the Touch a few hours ago. I don't know why I wasted nearly 100 minutes of my life to watch this disappointment. Sorry but it is just another predictable and forgettable lame eastern action/adventure/martial arts film. The story is weak, acting is terribly bad (or maybe this movie is without acting at all) even for such kind of movies while dialogs look extremely silly and cheesy. Even special effects and fight scenes were ridiculous and hardly watchable. I really liked Crouching Tiger and Hero but The Touch stands too far from them. Obviously it is not the worst movie ever but I can't recommend it for watching even for free. Watch above mentioned movies or other acclaimed martial marts movies but avoid The Touch.3,7 of 10
Juokelis Yeas, starts really great, maybe half a movie ... afterwards ... I haven't seen such a terrible spec-effects long ago ... really. Idea still great, but they missed some internal fire to finish started job...
