Btexxamar I like Black Panther, but I didn't like this movie.
SeeQuant Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction
Payno I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Paul Magne Haakonsen "The Tiger Blade" ("Seua Khaap Daap") is essentially an action movie that is completely and utterly devoid of a coherent storyline. Wait, let me correct that, devoid of a storyline all together.Throughout most of the movie the audience is given various action sequences that seems to make no sense in a coherent red thread, and actually seems like they were action sequences just for the solely purpose of being action sequences. Fair is fair, and I will say that some of these action sequences were actually good enough to look at, but that doesn't make it up for a complete lack of proper storyline.The acting in the movie, well, it was just equally devoid as the storyline. It seemed that the actors and actresses were equally baffled about the lack of story, and as such had very little to work with.And people say action movies are mindless, well I guess those people are quite right in regards to this particular movie.For a Thai action movie, then "The Tiger Blade" seems rather pointless and less than half-hearted. There are far better Thai action movies available, and I can't think of a reason for recommending this movie to anyone, except if you have absolutely nothing else to watch and just want to see some random action and violence sequences.
chrichtonsworld Thinking of "Ong Bak" and "Born to fight",I expected "Tiger Blade to be the same! Well,it isn't! It could have been just like them because of the action! But the action scenes were not that special! The scenes had some beautiful effects,but the martial arts were below average! Surprisingly the plot was interesting enough with a lot of humor. This movie would have been better if the martial arts were as good as in "Ong Bak". Although it is obvious it is a low budget production,everything looks great! "Tiger Blade" has these small sequences which do spark your interest,but sadly there are not enough of them to give the movie an edge. Most memorable scene I have to mention is the scene where the main character returns home and finds seven women waiting for him. They start to make dinner and dance with the prospect of more,then the sister spoils the fun! It does show promise but for now I have to say that this title is not worth your time!
peufeu Tiger Blade is one of the worst action movies I ever saw... The plot is non existent, it's so full of holes that I lost interest about 10 minutes into the film. So, at least there are good fight scenes ? No. Special effects are cheap. It's all a rehash of previous films, notably Matrix, but with inferior quality.Everything sucks in this movie ! Lousy acting, totally boring, this flick is an insult to the viewer. Avoid !Sometimes the absence of a plot is preferable to a really crappy one. Take the Doom video games, for instance. Who cares why you're there as long as there are aliens to shoot ?
bruno-pletinck The Tiger Blade starts with a great kick off and manage to hold that throughout the entire movie. The story might not be that clear but actually it doesn't matter. You just go with the flow and accept the holes in the story which are filled in with great action scenes. It's Thai and of course you're thinking about Ong-bak but The Tiger Blade does use wire work and probably stunt men but it does't mean the action would be less. The direction is good and it shows that the greatest attention went to the action aspect. Would that bother? The story of Ong-bak isn't also that great. Just forget the story, tolerate the acting performances and you're settled for a good action ride. It deserves your attention when you loved Ong-bak and the Russian Night Watch because it's a perfect combination of those two.
