Review: "Unknown movie review"
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This thriller does not disappoint with its fast pace and brutal fistcuffs. The movie opens straight to the point; Dr Martin Harris and his wife have just arrived in Berlin and take a taxi. After they arrive at the hotel, Martin realised his suitcase is missing and he takes another taxi and have it follow the taxi they were in. Soon, the taxi he is in crashed into a river. He goes into coma. He wakes up after a few days and finds that his wife does not recognise him. Another man says that he is Martin Harris. He goes out on a hunt on his stolen identity. Basically, the story goes straight to the point, leaving little time for Martin to actually cry or think properely. The whole movie is intense throughout with twists coming into the way. The final twist may be a bit ridiculous to some.
The movie does not actually feature many action scenes. There are only two major action scenes. First is the brutal fist fight with Martin and a guy. And it moves into an intense car chase scene. The second action scene is obviously the climax with another fist fight. Though there is little action, the brutal and realistic scenes deliver. The music by John Ottman is generic for a thriller.
Overall: With its fast pace, it is hard to be bored and it makes you want to know what kind of twists they can come up with. Warner Bros' thrillers are actually not bad. The Losers and Whiteout come into mind.

Rating: 3.4/5 Review: "The Spirit of Ramayana" (103 minutes) "A passable Thai horror movie with an interesting concept but weak execution." As a low-budget horror movie, it has enough entertainment values. In the recent years, there are a few strong Thai horror movies with decent production values and there are many mediocre low-budget horror movies. The Spirit of Ramayana is somewhat in the middle. It may not look that polished but its themes and concept are intriguing enough. The story: The narrative is straight forward however its editing made the movie look messy and disjointed. It is a simple story about Mintra, a young dancer who is rejected for the main role because she cannot pull off an evil and sensual side. However, a spirit helps her to unleash her dark side. On paper, it sounds like a supernatural Black Swan. It lacks the emotional depth of Black Swan as the director seems only interested in churning out cheap scares. As the plot develops fur...

Rating: 4.5/5 Review: "Man of Steel movie review" With all the hype from the trailers, I must say this is what it looks to be expected. I have to say that this is the biggest and epic superhero movie yet. This treats destructions like child's play. It is also the most explosive superhero movie. There are so much explosions that they could literally make you exhausted from watching all those. Although this is directed by Zack Snyder, this does not have much of his trademark except the visuals. His slo-mo trademark is not featured. Instead, the action is rapid fast. Man of Steel is a good entertainment with exciting action scenes and visuals but at the same, a somehow touching human drama. The story: We get an extended opening scene on Krypton where Kal-El is just born. However the planet is going to be destroyed with General Zod adding to the problem. To save Kal-El, he has to be sent to another planet known as Earth. What is interesting about the movie that it do...

Rating: 4.6/5 Review: "Avengers: Endgame IMAX movie review" (181 minutes) This is surely the most anticipated movie this year. This is a non-spoiler review so it won't be very long. The ultimate question is: Is the conclusion worth the wait? Those who have invested 10 over years on every Marvel movie should have no doubts watching this on big screen. I personally find Endgame a little disappointing as it felt safer compared to the brutal Infinity War. The story: It is a direct sequel. And that's all a reader should know. There are some surprises along the way and it ends in a satisfying way. Audience should know that it is a 3 hours movie so they SHOULD NOT expect an action-packed thrill ride like what Infinity War is. It takes its time with characters and therefore it is reasonable to call it an action drama that delivers an emotional and nostalgic ride. Although it does feel a bit long, I found it consistently engaging. Music by Alan Silvestri is a bit lacki...
