(2009, Le Thanh Son)
This movie was really fun. I was not sure what to expect from a Vietnamese action movie but I hoped it would be amazing. Southeast Asia is the hope for Neo-HK style action flicks and Johnny Tri Nguyen brought the sauce. Mr. Nguyen wrote, produced and starred along with his on-screen partner Ngo Thanh Van. Ngo Thanh Van (Veronica Ngo) is super tough and hot and the fight choreography is top drawer. The plot/ story is a bit tired with no really new ground covered but for a lower budget action movie this is really good. Tri Nguyen is very charismatic and his martial arts are solid. Nice MMA/ Jiu Jitsu and Muay Thai and Vovinam derived moves-- adding a modern and believable feel to the fights. We don't get to hear Tri Nguyen sing but he does dance. . . (5/7) Also Tri Nguyen is my age-- YAY! Double Punch!
