That was an excellent one.

Such a frustrating disappointment

A waste of 90 minutes of my life

Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

Remember when you were in grade school and an hour seemed like a long time. Well this movie brings me back to grade school. I don't need to add much to what's already been said but yes I'm one of the ignorant ones who can't read into all of the "symbolism" or rubbish that this movie tends to portray. Is slowly walking down a hallway in slow motion supposed to be symbolic of something? And if it is, does anybody care? How about some scenes where the actors look at each other emotionless for what seems like an eternity. Is that supposed to be the time where we are supposed to be interpreting what's going on in the actors' heads? There was no acting in this movie. Just a bunch of automatons, putting together a movie that does not even peak enough interest to read into the "symbolism" of the movie if there is any at all. HORRIBLE

If I could give this film a 0 then I would. I have never felt the need to walk out of a cinema before but this was the closest I have come.Minimal script, strangely long scenes of a man singling badly and what I would class as no plot.Do not waste your time. Even Ryan doesn't make it worth it.

This movie was nothing more than rubbish, trash, refuse, a complete waste of one moment of viewing. It is not fit for anyone to watch and has caused my opinion of Ryan Gosling to plummet to zero.

So it's 2001 meets Kickboxer... Yea that's about right. Ryan Gosling plays Julian, a drug smuggler living in Bangkok, along with his bro, Billy. And well, Billy is a major douche bag and is caught red handed killing a 16 year old prostitute, and the cops arrive, but apparently they do things differently over there, or the cop in charge, Chang, is a psycho... He brings the murder victims father to the scene, and introduces him to the murderer, Billy, then the father introduces a baseball bat to Billy's skull, sweet revenge right? Well Chang doesn't quite see it that way, in his eyes, the victims father played a large role in her murder, he allowed his own daughter to prostitute herself to help him pay the bills, don't worry, he doesn't kill the poor guy, just takes an arm...the killing part, thats left up to Julian, when mommy comes to town. Kristin Scott Thomas plays wicked mean mom Crystal, who may or may not have had Julian kill his own father. However Julian shows some heart and understands the murder victims father point of view, show some mercy and lets him live. Mommy Dearest is pissed!! She puts a hit out on Chang and quickly realizes he is merciless, and one hell of a Karaoke singer!! The movie is a bit slow going, but its just so darn pretty to look at!! Cool flick tho, worth a watch!!
