Bangkok Dog (2024) Big Bad Film Festival


Under the radar government organization sends an agent to Thailand to to take down a crime lord.

Destined to spend eternity in direct to video hell, BANGKOK DOG is a very by the numbers action film done in by poor fight sequences. I turned off immediately and kind of disconnected.

Yea, this is an action film where the action looks terrible. It seems to all follow a similar pattern of blows and almost all of it seems to involve our hero, DY Sao, leaping in the air giving an angry Bruce Lee face. Okay yes he doesn't do it all the time, but enough that you wonder why he's doing it when there is no call for it. The blows don't really seem to have weight, to the point you wonder why the bad guy went down. 

I don't want to pick on the leads but they have no charisma, or at least not enough to carry the film and I'm certain that DY Sao won't have been picked except that he did the fights and is a producer.

The less said the better.
