Two Tigers (2007)

So much average

Memorable, crazy movie

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

Okay I admit I didn't look it over much before popping the DVD in and pressing play. The premise alone said cheesy to me. So no big surprise to me many of the elements being written as negatives here so far. I was not thrown by accents. If you have gone to Boston to Shanghai from Hungary..unlikely but whatever. Whenever I'm in Shanghai there's some broken English going on...No the acting won't get any Oscar nods...That gratuitous ending poolside scene...oy! I still had a decent time...kinda like a date with a woman I probably won't be calling again... but final word is: who did the music? It was by far the most inspiring part of this film. I'm holding on to this DVD for the music alone. I won't argue any of the comments previously made but no one has mentioned the soundtrack and I thought it some good work. Unusual a bit haunting in parts. Have I played this without watching it for the music alone? ..yea.

I actually kind of enjoyed this film. Okay, the acting wasn't great, and the two women's accents got in the way of the story telling. But I thought the story was kind of interesting and I'd have liked to have seen this done with actresses who were better in English. there were some underdeveloped characters (the private detective hunting the assassin was totally unneeded to the plot, IMHO).It's not your over the top Hollywood action film, which would have involved tons of car chases. I also respect the fact that it was pretty explicit in the sex. (Americans have become such wusses in this area, even R-rated movies don't have sex scenes anymore.)

At first glance (the cover) You will expect an action packed martial arts movie with sword fighting. In all honesty this could not be further from the truth. The acting is poor and the scenery is nothing you have not seen before. As far as the martial arts goes (the little that there is), It should have been left out of the movie all together. As previously stated, It is obvious that the lead actress has no clue what she is doing and few fight scenes were filmed terribly. Selena Khoo, who plays the part of Lin is probably the best actor in this movie and that is not saying much. I believe this film relies entirely on on the attractiveness of the actresses and their willingness to appear nude on camera. While this may be what some are looking for it is not what I was looking for upon selecting this title.There is a lot of "Broken English" but this does not bother me though I could see how it would bother some.In short, The MPAA rating of this movie gives a better description of what you will get than anything else. This movie is nothing more to me than a poorly written and filmed fantasy adult soft-core.This film is not even a "b-movie"

Frankly put, I spent half the film wondering if it was a porno or not. Gratuitous skin scenes that bring nothing neither to the plot nor to the action make for a drawn-out movie that drastically dilutes whatever "action" was supposed to be there. As has already been noted, the fight scenes are nothing to phone home about, although I did find that the dojo scene was slightly better thought-out than the rest of the film. For the rest, the action is quite lacking. No planning before hand, no surprise in execution, no problem with the getaway, and a very lame showing of local mafia add up to nothing to get excited about. Add to that the school-level camera angles, bad pronunciation all around and a total absence of any sort of anticipation and what you get is a porno film - without the hardcore sex. The single redeeming feature of this mess is Mrs. Osvart's body. Fine though it is, it's hardly enough to carry a film.
