“As a fan of both Bangkok and boxing it didnu0026#39;t matter that the IMDb score rating was so low – we were going to watch it regardless! Having seen it I wonder why it scored so badly. True itu0026#39;s a low-budget exploitation flick, but that said, itu0026#39;s a perfect example of guerrilla filmmaking where enthusiasm makes up for the lack of budget. The montage editing sequences in particular work well. Even the on-the-hoof spontaneous shots in Bangkok street scenes never stray into travelogue territory and do add to the storyu0026#39;s texture. There is great technique and skill used not just in the filmu0026#39;s construction but also in the acting. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe starring role of Jack is superbly played by ex-boxer Casey T Evans and his interplay dialogue in the bar with Nick Faltas (Marcus) anchors the narrative in a perfectly understated manner around which the plot pivots like a butterfly and stings like a bee. It deserves a wider audience and more reviews!”
