With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Best for anyone who appreciates a well-choreographed fight and people who like their stories at full throttle. The fight choreography is a big part of the appeal. Shelve it next to Beast.
- The mood
- Exciting.
- The pace
- Wastes no time getting going.
- What might put you off
- It's in Chinese, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Skip it if you prefer quiet, talky stories.
An evil Caucasian jewel smuggler named Robertson (Conwyn Sperry) enlists a small army to steal a map leading to a rare Chinese treasure hidden in Thailand; however, a grandfather and his daughter (Chin Siu Ho, Sharon Louise Kwok) evade the villain's forces while passing through what looks like a paid advertisement for the country's scenic and cultural wonders. The movie's nearly dense as granite with fight and chase scenes, a few of them quite witty, as well as near deadly encounters with drag queens, alligators, river torrents, kung fu elephants, and hot flying vegetables
