Foreign objects: Clash (Viet Nam)

Asian action films set in modern day generally fall into two categories. You are either break with bones, skin slapping, fist pumps fight scenes loaded, or you are plump full of bullet ballets, armed standoffs and gun battles. Chan and Donny Jackie fit Yen in the former category, while the latter houses the work of Johnnie to and others. There is some crossover here and since, but for the most part, the movies seem content to one action style or the other focus.

Vietnamese Director Le Thanh son chose that memo fight for his debut to ignore and instead clash (aka Bay Rong) with the same number of blisteringly fast fist and meat has filled shootings shredding. This is a good thing. He chose also his characters to speak a bit too much. This is a bad thing.

Trinh (Veronica NGO) is a mercenary, Dragon (Hoang Phuc) working for a gangster named black. He her from a life of forced prostitution years "saved" and her daughter as collateral hold until they can pay debts through a series of jobs. Its latest task has assigned her to steal a very valuable Briefcase (it is good, the content containing the value probably) so that you puts together a team and sets for the price. One of its team members is actually an undercover COP Quan (Johnny Nguyen) named to safeguard that is on the case and to arrest Black Dragon. Fists, bullets, and Sparks as Trinh and Quan, goal for different reasons work and maybe knock flying boots on the way.

Plot and characters produced, the action starts at full speed, and this is where the film proves to be worthy of the awesome of Asian action moniker. Tries to acquire the case of peaceful/illegal means the team, but the Exchange goes to hell and breaks down in a hail of gunfire. Pistols and AK-47 spit fire and walls, dirt and meat lead, until each of ammunition is running and forced to you and overthrow. Now, Trinh skips the manning part and right at the ass-kicking cuts, and as a fantastic how NGOs seeking standing nor it is still impressive start spin kicks, Division bombs, and flying take-downs (shown in the image seen above).

Not to exceed, he has displayed Since… well since his last action film (power of the five) not the even more talented (but far less attractive) Nguyen displays speed and agility. He is fast, has fantastic range and never encountered a bad guy he not between his calves to lock and to enforce on the ground. Nguyen wrote the script for fight so it is a good thing that he has his drama/action features fall back on in the future.

I kid.

No I do not. The script is the basic setup in order, but has some very noticeable pacing problems that appear after each large action set pieces like clockwork. It would be in order when things happened or the action moved forward the downtime, but instead we "deeply emotional" talks and "emotionally powerful" flashbacks are subject to. You work as a breather between the action, but as filler there is further the momentum and adrenaline levels down, than you should.

But for each gossipy scene losing viewers with melodramatic marbles there are three of the four action packed beat downs that knock people back in their sitting. And the the point really is an action film, is it not?

The head: Veronica Ngô is terribly attractive and credible Ace kicker. Johnny Nguyen is less attractive, but even more ass occurs; Martial arts and gunplay are both exciting and well choreographed; darker than most action movies; Set in modern Asian action movies are getting more and more difficult to find

The downside: Basic plot is sometimes convoluted thanks to flashback; Tempo between action scenes is a bit of character, courage, need to communicate with each other that
