A Thai boxer/lounge singer with a sword goes up against a gang who are dealing drugs and murdering people.
This was totally incoherent and poorly made. It's a shame that it was dedicated to Alejandro Jodorowsky. The hour and a half went by too slow, even though the pacing was fast. If you can figure out the plot, you were the one who wrote it. There were too many characters and only 3 of them were identifiable. The hero with the polo shirt and "sword from nowhere" skill was absurd. There was barely any dialogue, but lots of "inaudible dialogue" and what there was was too simplistic to convey any meaning. The only good dialogue scene was the mother berating her son at the upscale restaurant. That was hilarious! There were some good sets, but also some horrible ones. Having the hero wear a polo shirt is a moronic decision in an action film. The villain looks like he belongs in a Fleshgod Apocalypse music video by the end. The camera-work was actually not bad. They had a variety of different angles, movements and exposures. As far as audio goes, all I can think of is the over exaggerated sword sound "blade scrapes, rings". Other critics mostly hated it, but a few loved it. You should read the Wikipedia page's "reception" section for a laugh or two. I hated it and have supplied ample reasons for why I rate it shit. Do not watch this!
