I stumbled upon the 2005 Thai action movie titled "The Mia" (aka "The Bullet Wives") here in 2021, and since I hadn't already seen it, of course I took the time to sit down to watch it.
Needless to say that I hadn't even heard about "The Bullet Wives" before sitting down to watch it, so I wasn't sure what to expect from director Kittikorn Liasirikun. However, given the title of movie, I must admit that I was expecting a bit more action in the movie than what it had.
The storyline told in "The Bullet Wives" is, and I am going to be bluntly honest here, absolute rubbish. I have to admit that the concept of the storyline told here was just beyond ludicrous and it failed entirely to capture my interest. In fact, I gave up on the movie with just 30 minutes left to watch, but by that time I was just fed up with watching virtually nothing.
The characters in the movie had as much appeal as wet cardboard, and I can't say that I had invested anything in any of the characters, as they were shallow cardboard cut-outs with no personalities, no traits or anything even remotely likeable. And the dialogue just didn't help sell the characters either. Nor did the wooden and rigid acting performances.
Then there was the action sequences. Well, if you consider women doing awkward poses and movements during gunfights, then you are in for a treat. Because what constituted action sequences in "The Bullet Wives" was just an atrocity to witness.
"The Bullet Wives" was a disappointing movie on every level, and I am rating it a generous one out of ten stars. This is not a movie that I will be returning to watch the remaining 30 minutes of, as I just simply don't care one bit about the story or the characters.
