The Movie-Makers Did All the Reviews
bemyfriend-401845 October 2021
Yes, the movie-makers did all the reviews. It's sort of mish-mash of Thai fight scenes. It doesn't make a whole lot of sense. I'm not quite sure who buys these low-budget films; or why they are made. But it was seen on Tubi, the free streaming site; which has a lot of stuff like this. Stuff not worth your time, even if you have a lot of time.

10... seriously???
lnp-1082522 August 2022
Ok, I'm seventeen minutes into this film and I can't believe the 10/10 ratings. The sound quality is brutal, as if I'm listening while wearing earmuffs. The acting is mediocre at best, especially the silly Russian accents. This is supposed to be an action film yet the action sequences I've seen so far leave a lot to be desired. I'll see where this goes but so far I'm not hopeful.

Save your time and money!
jakesybian14 March 2023
Shallow acting, obviously choreographed fights (I know fights are choreographed in movies, but these were ridiculous), poor dialogue, mediocre plot (but incongruous). This movie could have easily been made better with the same budget. The best thing was the music soundtrack, but the overall sound (editing, mixing, engineering) was of poor quality with some dialogue lost in ambient noise. Sorry to see that Selina Lo needed to do this movie for whatever reason. It certainly did not advance her career; not something to use as a job reference.

There is plenty of action, but it seems forced and at times quite foolish. If you find this movie funny then you have not watched a truly funny movie. Same goes for the action. I cannot understand how anyone who has watched many movies can give this movie anything above a 5 out of 10 rating. I have seen worse films, but this is not one that I would consider giving a second watching.

Idiotic; Nonsense.
I watched this movie to pass the time between upcoming movies on the Samsung TV+ Electric Now channel in Chicago because I didn't want to see the depressing and horrible News. Let me say the person who wrote the previous User review nailed it right on the head about it with his critic. This film is hopeless, a total waste of time! I saw many martial arts choreographed and acrobatic action moves stemming from Mooi Thai kickboxing in standard fight scenes and senseless car chase scenes. The movie's plot was ridiculous and was beyond any common sense, or to make any sense of it! There are several brutal and bloody fight scenes that were Not intended for younger audiences, or viewers! Overall, avoid wasting your time or spending any money on this idiotic production of a movie that should have never been made!

10 Stars REALLY! STACKED DECK👎
QuickMilt16 September 2023
Poor acting, bad special effects, broken squences and hard to follow plot. The whole story is very poorly written, with the director having shots that dragged the whole movie into the ground. The fight scenes are not overly bad but still lame. A good "B" movie if you like those kinds of films.

The reviews shows that the cast and staff or their friends who put this overrated flick at 10 stars {how obvious} is only trying to get movie goers to watch this bad movie. Also their reviews are generally 1 or 2 lines and not with 600+ characters like everyone else has done. This is definitely NOT a movie worth wasting your time on. I stopped watching it after 20 minutes. Better to spending your time doing something else, maybe going for a walk. Two👎thumbs👎down!

Haphazard
CinemaSerf21 July 2023
Heavens, what a mess! Given that it must have had the tiniest of budgets, it actually starts off not too badly, but as the story progresses it loses all sense of direction and degenerates into a pretty disappointing search for an hard drive. This drive contains satellite codes that activate missiles that could lead to world destruction - though not before the end of this ninety minutes of overly choreographed CGI-heavy thriller. The fight scene are lengthy and repetitive, the script is pretty banal and none of the actors looked like they really cared one way or the other about the quality of their routinely lacklustre performances. To be fair, it does not hang about - what action they have created comes thick and fast and deliberately, or otherwise, it does raise the odd smile. Quite how this ever got funded is anyone's guess, though, and it's really pretty poor.

A Fun flick
kelly-b-jones13 November 2019
A fun Guy Ritchie- esque film with unexpected moments of hilarity, impressive fight choreography and out of this world characters.

Goofy fun with great moments of action.
janebkk-9792316 November 2019
Haphazard is a film that's hard to categorize, and great fun because of it. The plot is straight forward enough and easy to follow, as different people all fight to get the same object (No spoilers). What makes it stand out from other micro budget action flicks is the quality of some of the action sequences and the moments of absurd humour. It is definitely not a film that takes itself too seriously. It runs quickly at a fast paced 90 minutes, and should keep you entertained right up until the end.

Fun Action movie
opetryk14 November 2019
Cool movie, nice acting, p*ssed myself laughing from the humour. Its always a pleasure to see real stunts, not fake cgi. Loved the Street Fighter and retro references. Also loved seeing Ron Smoorenburg in a funny character role. Its a fun easy watching movie.

Amazing Action Comedy!
RJWolfeStunts19 November 2019
This movie had me laughing from the start and I was in awe with the brilliant stunts that were performed. Dru was killing it with top notch action doing double backs and corks! Ron had me laughing in every scene he was in. Overall it was a great enjoyment to watch. I suggest you all grab some popcorn and enjoy the cinematic brilliance!

Great action, great characters, funny and captivating. Definitely an action movie that is way out there. I liked the soundtrack a lot. Flashbacks to the 80s/90s guaranteed.

A fun movie
moviemania66612 November 2019
I found the movie fun to watch and a surprising plot at the end. It also got a little bit of a retro feel to it.. Also the end fight and finale sequence is very entertaining.

Sensational non stop Action Block Buster 10+
jbflano25 November 2019
Warning: Spoilers
A very well thought out story line with a fascinating, dynamic cast of Actors. The film was very enjoyable to watch and it was paced properly in my opinion. Non stop action with entertaining characters and an exotic back drop of locations. The audience at my theater really enjoyed the film with a standing ovation at the end. SELINA LO was a pleasant surprise to see in this talented cast. She is always a pleasure to watch as she one by one picks off the bad guys or whoever gets in her way. Dean Alexandrou doesn't disappoint on screen and with his Directing chops. Definitely a new all time favorite in my book. Can't wait to see what is up the sleeve of Dean Alexandrou for his next Directorial outing. I hope he continues to stay in front of the camera as well behind in his cool Directors chair........ Well..... actually he has no time to sit down by the looks of his work. I see Oscar not only in his future but all of the cast as well. Job well done to cast and crew. That flame thrower guy on the bicycle was awesome as was the performance of The legendary Martial artist Ron Smoorenburg who has matured into a bona-fide real actor. Enjoy the ride. 🎬🎥

Best Female Action Actress...
xastunts14 December 2019
Pros Let us all try to say that I honestly couldn't agree more in giving the award out to "Selina Lo" to her outstanding action performance in this movie. She has been working hard to achieve her skills, and I think its fair to give her a chance to shine in the light! Well done Selina!

Now for the movie itself, I kind of stepped into the screening with about 30 to 40 mins already running in, and so therefor I can't tell about the whole picture of it.

Action wise though my favourite part of the movie is the night club fight! It had me thinking that this movie shows good action in the fight scenes in that particular sequence. What else can I really say! it has humor and action, and I think its a good movie to play with your friends when you are looking for laughs and some kicks to the heads!

Cons To be honest again, I think there is no movie that doesn't have anything you could complain on. If I really had to be honest about what I didn't like, then that would have to be the sound, that I felt where not to good voice overed. I think this movie is a step up from the previous films Dean has done, and I wish him all the best for his upcoming ones to come.

Thank you Dean and good luck!

StephenRenney28 November 2019
Came across this film by a chance netting with some friends in the action biz. And am I happy I did! The action was directed, preformed, and shot extremely well. Congrats to the director and the crew for really pushing the envelope! I was pleasantly surprised and thrilled at all the humor! I laughed HARD at the comedy portrayed by everyone. This film is a great! Awesome job everyone!

patrickzogo25 November 2019
I couldn't stop laughing. I wasn't expecting to laugh like that in my mind it was only an action movie then it turned to be a comedy movie with great action.

Hot Quirky Thailand-based Thriller
james_newman-5340927 January 2021
Great action and fight sequences in this quirky thriller set in Thailand. A military satellite containing sensitive codes crashes on a Thai island and the hunt is on the retrieve a hard drive from the wreckage. A colorful cast of characters are in pursuit of the drive. I especially loved the flame-throwing opera singer spreading heat to the chase. Recommended for anyone who loves a quirky thriller set in Thailand and well done to Dean and the team for keeping the indie film scene alive and burning in Thailand.

Action and fight scenes
matt-2468324 January 2021
Enjoyed this movie in particular the fight scenes. The director did a great job of capturing the action - not easy when making a budget independent movie. Also enjoyed Craig Ryan's performance and looking forward to seeing more of him on screen in the future.
