The Bangkok Job (2023)
The Bangkok Job does the job
Sure I watch a lot of multi million dollar budget movies, who doesn't but I totally love to give my eyes and ears a rest and catch some of these lower-budget indie movies. These are films made by passionate people and it shines through, the effort and dedication that are put into production which is really worth seeing. TBJ is a classic British action/comedy film directed and acted in by Clive Saunders and is well worth your time.
Over in the UK what appears to be the Golders Green massif have been ripped off right now and in the past and it's time for them to get some retribution. Actually it's time for them to kill two birds with one stone as the boss creates a double crossing scenario to be played out in Bangkok. From the grey skies of London town to the blue skies of Bangkok we follow Ben who is meet up with Frankie with an offer he cannot refuse...or can he? Old mishaps, misfortune and bad behaviour litter the path trod inevitably towards the penultimate scene where everything adds up but then falls apart just as quickly. Beaten and bruised, everything now down the drain Ben and Frankie head back to the UK to exact revenge on the Golders Green massif's boss only to discover that he too has been double crossed by the people that double crossed them. Seeing that everyone's in the same boat everyone realises it's now time to lay down the guns and head off for a full English breakfast. Where do we go from here? There's definitely scope for a sequel.
Vinyan (2008)
Not one single redeeming factor except that it finished
Like others who registered simply to leave a review I too did the same.
I just sat there incredulous that it was possible to raise the money to make this abomination. I do not know where or how to berate this movie so lets start with some technical aspects.
I see that they used film but the incompetence of the grading, developing, colourisation needs to be seen to be believed. It looked like they used digital cameras and then a really cheap grading system to add grain. Sound was appallingly mixed, badly balanced and careless. It seems they had no access to ADR facilities or the main actors refused to be involved. Editing was sloppy and needs serious tightening up.
Direction was lacking in every way, it seems there was a shooting ratio of 1:1 so you got stuck with whatever you ended up on the first take. The characters were so badly portrayed I had no empathy or interest whatsoever for them and the consequences of their actions. Talk about wooden I began to poke my screen. I am sure the actors do not talk about this movie when people ask them what they have done
What the hell was going on with that on the side 'love interest? Where did that lead to ,why? Pointless. Who cares?
The script and plot were laughable and incoherent leaving you with nothing. I am losing the will to live just thinking about the trite, inconsequential, schoolboy, badly thought out, improbable nature of what I saw. As for the last scene my jaw hit the ground as I realised, yes they could reach depths that would top the previous drivel.
Anyhow I have wasted enough time .
I am rarely driven to write something like this so I guess that is some measure of success but I am furious to have wasted my precious time watching this garbage. I am furious that this proves without a doubt raising money to make a film is nothing to do with the film and I am furious that there must be so many other so much more worthwhile things that are not being made.
Are the people who put this together professionals? Have they made films before? Is this a rich kid trying something out?
Anyhow the long and the short if it is watch paint dry instead, do not waste your time with this film. Do not support this level of incompetence in case they go on to make more.
I am astounded that there are reviews that rate this movie highly, maybe there are two movies with the same name. I wish I could vote 0 out of 10.
