ManiakJiggy This is How Movies Should Be Made
Billie Morin This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
Tobias Burrows It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
Marva-nova Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.
cut jib katai my, my, my - it doesn't get any cheesier than this. lame saxophone solos, typical detective narration, and stereotypes of an asian culture. whooo. it's my guess that chris noth shakes his head whenever reminded of this. but anyway, it was very entertaining. let's just be thankful we can watch chris noth doing bigger and better things these days. if you happen to find this on t.v. at 3 in the morning sometime, then watch it (by the by - a movie entitled "bikini ho-down" came on directly after i watched it); renting and/or buying it, however, is not advisable. have fun.
infinite-1 No plot to speak of, lots of fight and chase scenes, and a very young Chris Noth doing a silly sex scene or two. Stay home and watch Law & Order or Sex & The City reruns on TV instead of wasting your valuable entertainment time on Jakarta.
Al-148 An interesting story on an apparently limited budget. Though filmed in an exotic local, the film was riddled with bad cuts. For example, a character is bare headed during a struggle and then appears with a hat a split second later. However, as B-movies go it was better than most. Though it features a token, drop-dead gorgeous femme fatale (Sue Francis Pai), she had an intelligent role and was actually one of the better actors in the film. If you want an entertaining but not mentally taxing action-adventure flick, this is it.
Wendy-18 This is a hard movie to find, but if you are a Christopher Noth fan-atic and can rent or purchase it, go for it! It's a pretty straight-forward action flick with some fun touches such as the car chase through the market, and Chris looks gorgeous, of course. So does the scenery around Jakarta. Worth seeing.
