Guns, Gangsters, and Guffaws: The Bangkok Job Shines in the City of Sin
mickeytwonames3 May 2024
Director Clive Saunders, 'The Bangkok Job' plunges us into the seedy, neon-lit streets of Bangkok with an entertaining, adrenaline-fueled crime caper that is both funny and bittersweet. Ben Feitelson, Clive Saunders, and Leanna Chea shine in their roles, portraying a dynamic trio of ex-hitmen drawn back into a life of crime for one last job.

Set against the backdrop of Thailand's most sinful city, the film delves into the gritty underworld with a story that's as riveting as it is dangerous. Feitelson and Saunders embark on a perilous journey to eliminate the infamous Beast from the East, encountering tense moments and unexpected humor.

While the film explores Bangkok's darker aspects, it remains self-aware and maintains an enjoyable balance between action and comedy. The chemistry between Feitelson, Saunders, and Chea is undeniable, with their performances elevating the movie beyond its familiar 'one last job' premise.

'The Bangkok Job' takes viewers on a thrilling, wild ride, delivering an action-packed, witty experience with a healthy dose of heart."

The Bangkok Job does the job

Sure I watch a lot of multi million dollar budget movies, who doesn't but I totally love to give my eyes and ears a rest and catch some of these lower-budget indie movies. These are films made by passionate people and it shines through, the effort and dedication that are put into production which is really worth seeing. TBJ is a classic British action/comedy film directed and acted in by Clive Saunders and is well worth your time.

Over in the UK what appears to be the Golders Green massif have been ripped off right now and in the past and it's time for them to get some retribution. Actually it's time for them to kill two birds with one stone as the boss creates a double crossing scenario to be played out in Bangkok. From the grey skies of London town to the blue skies of Bangkok we follow Ben who is meet up with Frankie with an offer he cannot refuse...or can he? Old mishaps, misfortune and bad behaviour litter the path trod inevitably towards the penultimate scene where everything adds up but then falls apart just as quickly. Beaten and bruised, everything now down the drain Ben and Frankie head back to the UK to exact revenge on the Golders Green massif's boss only to discover that he too has been double crossed by the people that double crossed them. Seeing that everyone's in the same boat everyone realises it's now time to lay down the guns and head off for a full English breakfast. Where do we go from here? There's definitely scope for a sequel.
