Best movie of this year hands down!

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

Oh God it's so bad it hurts. The lead "actor" is a wooden plank, the others are laughable except Michael Madsen who is probably still laughing about how easy he can get money. Or anything else they paid him with.The director obviously wanted to do a Bourne movie but failed to do anything resembling any kind of decent movie.Some said there is no end to the story, which is true, but I'm afraid it's worst than that. They planned to do a sequel ! Ridiculous scenes are in a plenty: a specially trained agent being beaten by two girls, the lead actress shooting with a gun in each hand although she can barely hold them, a shootout in the streets during a chase ... on bike ! (Yes, we're in Amsterdam.The action scenes are badly filmed and the fight scenes are badly choreographed. And the story is so unoriginal it's quickly boring since you already know what's going to happen next.I suppose the director can't do worst on his next movie but will he do better? 0/10

I am absolutely and seriously surprised that there are some positive reviews here !My vote was 1 out of 10, but that's only because there was no 0 to choose in the box !I have never... and I mean this from the bottom of my heart... NEVER seen a worse movie than this one.First of all it's ridiculous that almost everybody speaks English in this movie while it sets in Amsterdam. Please don't go to Amsterdam and think that people there all speak English !Secondly ; the acting, I have only 1 thing to say about that ; it is non-existent! there is no acting, its just people saying their lines ! apart from 2 exceptions that is. Allison Carroll and Michael Madsen are acting, it's just the rest that isn't !3rd ; the filming itself was not even poor anymore, just downright awful !4th ; the fight scenes, sometimes when the fight scenes are badly made you laugh at it. This however was SO bad I genually had to cry !Such a shame, the story was good it could have made for a good movie, but they somehow managed to screw it up in the worst way !I can't believe I actually spent money on this! There's 90 minutes of my life i'll never get back!

It seems like this movie is getting some harsh and I would have to argue unfair reviews! I decided to check out Amsterdam heavy when I saw it for sale in Tescos. With a title like Amsterdam Heavy I was expecting some pretty action-packed, arse kicking fight scenes and that's exactly what this movie is all about! The story has an entertaining and interesting concept which is delivered through a cast of both up and coming and renowned talent- Michael Madson is particularly of credit in his role as CIA Agent Martin Keele. The movie intertwines violence, action, dark humour and sex appeal to create an action packed 90 minute roller coaster ride into the criminal heart of Amsterdam. Okay so the fight scenes might not quite be Micheal Bay standard- but hey, the guys not the be all and end all… Michael Wright is a talented English director and who said action is dependant on how extreme you can make an explosion?! If you're looking for a unique watch that will keep your adrenaline pumping and your palms sweaty - Amsterdam Heavy is most definitely movie for you. Check it out. An entertaining and exhilarating film - 7/10

Amsterdam Heavy boils on the screen with non stop action, pulsing beats and a streak of dark humor, as an ex undercover cop smuggles himself back to Amsterdam to take revenge on a local crime boss who has tried to stitch him up big time. He fights his way out of the airport at the same time trying to recover his memory and work out who he really is. There's tons of fight action and some twists and turns along the way as he smashes his way through the Amsterdam underworld. An array of kookie characters get in his way as he gets closer to taking his revenge. But the real bad guy is not who he set out to get in the first place... fast, gritty and larger than life Amsterdam Heavy does the job.
