This Girl Is Badass

I am not a film critic. I am a huge fan of Jeeja Yanin.As other reviewers have mentioned, the plot of this film leaves a lot to be desired. I don't watch these types of films for the plot so if you're going in with similar expectations to my own (which is that the film is silly, action-packed, and super-cliche) you're likely to love it as much as I do. There certainly was more humor than action and what action there was was even more silly and nonsensical than usual for a Jeeja Yanin performance. The slap-stick humor reminded me of Stephen Chow's films. It was completely over the top but I laughed so hard, I cried. Unlike some other reviewers, I don't think the subtitles are bad or that the jokes are difficult to understand for an English-speaking audience. On the contrary, I found the jokes very entertaining and even picked up some Thai slang which you can be sure I'll put to good use.With the multitude of negative reviews for this film, I was hesitant about buying it but I don't regret it. This is not Chocolate or Raging Phoenix so I'd advise viewers not to harbor false expectations from associations with those films.

Very Good

This movie was a lot of fun! Yes it was lite on plot, but who watches martial arts movies for a distracting plot. Its about the action and the action delivers in this film. I loved JeeJa in Chocolate! She is a very likable and talented actress and martial artist. She carries this movie and delivers on the fun you come to expect from martial arts films. I have seen movies with worse plots (anybody remember Jackie Chan's Fantasy Mission Fighting Force from the 80's, or basically any Jackie Chan film). Jackie Chan proved if you deliver solid action, fighting, and humor people will come in droves. This movie is no exception. There is no need to discuss the plot (there isn't one), but if you want great fight scenes this is one for you. The only real flaw is that I wanted more fight scenes and less "plot" development. Lol.

I'm a fan of Jeeja Yanin. She was incredible in Chocolate. She is my favorite martial artist. This movie didn't highlight her abilities at all. I wasn't impressed with the scenes involving the use of her bike as a weapon and there were very few fight scenes. There are some hilarious scenes but otherwise its just an okay movie; the plot wasn't very good overall. Not really worth a second watch.

Sure it is a little over the top. But, that is what makes it funny. The stunts wereincredible. I thought the best part is that they didn't work a bit to death. It was oneand done and onto the next thing and the only return was just to work another angleand laugh out of the same setup. Great movie. Highly recommend.

I bought this movie because of the lead Jeeja Yanin. She is listed as Yanin Vismistananda in some of her films, Yanin Mistananda in others. She is a new Thai actress with a lot of potential. I have seen 3 of the 5 movies she is in (I own 4 all bought through Amazon). They appear to have used the same voice over actress in the three that I saw (I am not sure if it is her doing her own voice overs or not). I loved all of them.

This movie is just another foolish and childish movie that is a waste of time and money. It is about this young female that is always riding around on her bicycle making deliveries. The fight scenes are not even believable. This movie was a joke. I threw it in the donation box at the Goodwill.

Absolutely hilarious, subtitles really help. My wife is Thai and helped translate because i was laughing so hard. Beyond the actual movie, my wife also told me about the actors which really added to the comedy since many of the actors are actually family members with others in the movie and the parts they played really made it more funny.

The fighting is great, but there is not as much of it as what's become the norm in modern martial arts films. Most of the time the film was focussed on homoes and trans, which took away the time for more martial arts. If you are a fan of JIJA YANIN, check out her first, and by far her best film, CHOCOLATE. As the blurb on the box cover says, "More brutal than Ong Bak" and "Literally Jaw-Dropping". This is an apt description of the film.

great movie with loads of action

自分はゼンを守れるような男になりたくてキックボクシングをやっている人間ですのでかなり緩めに評価したつもりで★3です。(あくまでゼンが好きなのであってジージャーが好きなわけではないです)ストリート系の自転車映画はクイックシルバー、プレミアムラッシュ、メッセンジャーと一通り視聴済みでかつムエタイ好きの自分の為にあるみたいな映画だと思い、マッハとプレミアムラッシュを足して割ったような映画を期待していましたが実際にはコメディ色がかなり強かったです。別に映画マニアでは無いので詳しくありませんし気にもしていませんでしたがチョコレートファイターとは違う監督だなってのは一目で分かりました。同じBAD ASSな感じのメッセンジャー映画としてはプレミアムラッシュがありますがアクションで負けてしまっているのは悲しいです。この映画では開始早々のオープニングでプレミアムラッシュで山場のアクションだった車くぐりをやったのを見て「これは期待できるぞ！流石ジージャーだ！」と胸が高鳴りましたがフタを開けると最初の戦いが少しいい感じだった以外はコレだというアクションは特にありませんでした。

2.5 stars .. tries too hard to be funny ... get Chocolate or Raging Phoenix for serious badassery .

「チョコレート〜」なんて邦題がついているので、ジージャーの魅力いっぱいのアクション映画のように思われますが、どちらかというと、「マムさん（ペットターイ・ウォンカムラオ）監督作品に、ジージャー起用」という感じです。ですので、映画のテイストは、「ダブルマックス」や「アルティメットエージェント」に似ており、小ボケ・小ネタの連発で、ゆるい映画です。キャストも、マムさんの映画で起用されていた人たちが多く出ており、犬猿の仲（？）のあの人も出てきます（笑）ただ、今回は、小ボケが事あるごとに出てきており（若干しつこいくらい）、『そろそろストーリーに踏み込んで、シリアスな展開になってほしい』という所で、悪い意味で緊張感をそがれてしまいます。そして、映画全体に細切れ感があり、ストーリー〜小ボケ〜意味不明シーン（なくてもストーリーに影響のないシーン）〜・・・というパターンの流れなので、人によっては、話の展開が分からなくなると思います。アクションの見せ方も、マムさんっぽさが出ており、「どうこの演出。斬新じゃない？」というような、（正直寒いくらい）ドヤ顔的なアクションシーンが多いです（そこが良い所なのですが）。エンドロールには、NGシーンが収められており、マムさんの人柄がよく出ております。ですので、ジージャーのファンよりも、マムさんのファンの方が、この映画を楽しめると思います。※「藤原とうふ店」と書かれた車や、「ワンピース」のコミックスなど、日本人にも馴染みのある小道具も使われていて、見つける楽しみのある映画でもあります。
