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: 3.5/5 Review: "G-Force movie review" -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It is not all that bad, at least it tries its to be an enjoyable family movie flick. But as usual, Disney movies now are getting haters around the world due to its popular teens and live-action animals-talking movies. So now, when they see a live-action Disney movie whether it has teenagers singing or animals yapping away, they would be put off immediately. Whatever it is, G-force is fun with 3-D. Kids would like the cute animals coming near them. The story: G-Force has a simple story which is also not creative. But that it is not what kids want, they would want to see action blazing through their ways. As this being a Jerry Bruckheimer production, you can expect at least a car chase and some explosion but only more mild. Trevor Rabin did a good work in creating epic music. Though a kid movie, expect some rude humour but also at the same ti...

Rating: 3.9/5 Review: "John Carter movie review" Unfortunately, I didn't catch it in 3D. I wasn't sure of how the post-conversion would turn out. Back to the movie. To tell the truth, before John Carter opened, I was not sure if I should give the movie a try. The posters are boring and uninspired and trailers are not really exciting. It was only the week that it opened that I decided to catch it in cinema. I am glad that it is actually a fun and entertaining movie that is worth to watch in cinema. The story: It does pack a lot during the 132 minutes runtime. And it does feel slightly bloated. But it is still fun entertainment. The movie starts with a short action scene on Mars and moves on to John Carter on the human world. Then the next 20-25 minutes show John on Earth. So Sci-Fi will have to wait a while to see John on Mars. The story is simple to understand but the number of characters may confuse. It is sort of a chase movie. The action scenes while short are many...
