Directed by Xavier Gens. A runtime of one hour and thirty-nine minutes. Available on Prime Video. With an R rating.
"Sam," played by Nassim Lyes, was just recently released from prison. Trying to be on the right and narrow. He even has a job with the potential to grow. But his old gang refuses to let him go.
After getting into a severe altercation with one of the members, "Sam" decides to leave Paris and make a new life in Thailand. Now "Sam" has a wife, "Mia," played by Loryn Nounay, and a stepdaughter, "Dara," played by Chananticha Chaipa, whom he loves dearly. "Dara" might as well be his own.
"Sam" has many jobs. One of them is working at the airport. Trying to do something nice for his wife, he finds himself doing an illegal activity for "Narong," played by Olivier Gourmet. But of course, the job didn't go smoothly at all.
"Narong" took his cruelty on "Sam" and his family because of the job going bad. There will be no more hiding. "Sam" and his old Muay Thai coach "Hansa," played by Vithaya Pansringarm, sought out "Narong" so he could get revenge and maybe some closure. In this international action thriller.
"Mayhem!" was a letdown. It said the same people who were involved in the making of "Gangs of London" made this. In the trailer, it mentioned films like the "John Wick" franchise, "The Raid," and "Gangs of London." When talking about this film.
If you know, you know. But they were mentioning those IT films. The badest of the bad (meaning great). Mentioning "The Raid" alone had me fully committed. But this wasn't that, and they should be ashamed of themselves for even mentioning those amazing films.
It was confusing because it was supposed to be an English-speaking film. It started as French, then went to Thai, with English sprinkled in. It got quite confusing. When someone is speaking French and they are responding in Thai, Let's not mention it was a little predictable. The fight scenes were okay, but they could have gone harder. I like how some scenes were shot, but that was only here and there. I can't lie, the trailer got me.
A far cry from the films it mentioned. It wasn't all bad, it just didn't live up to the hype. I give it three mor fires 🔥🔥🔥.
