TOM YUM Soup for the Soul

Went to catch this film at the movies today unexpectedly. I had no idea what the show was all about, except that the poster appeared to protray it as an action-packed movie. So me and my friend decided to catch it before the action ran out. *laughs*

As an action movie, it was indeed worth the money. From the beginning till the end, it was filled with fast-paced menacing action. Your usual big guns, good guys fighting the bad guys, flying rocket bullets that seem to slice through the air, big explosions that blew you off your feet etc. Yes all that action was packed right in but when it's that much of actions, where does the storyline go?

Surprisingly, the story was about that of a religion battle in the bid to conquer the world. However, from the beginning till the end, there was no proper accounting of how the story goes hence, I was quite distracted and a bit lost with. (Maybe it's supposed to be suspense and I didn't catch it) And the worst part was the ending just flashed from one scene to another without again proper accounting of how the character had developed and why the female lead suddenly "passed away". It just left me dangling there wondering what on earth was happening. Somehow, it look more like a movie edited for actions only and no story.
