Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Awesome...Good actors, good story, great directing and video work.
I rented this movie over the weekend from a local Blockbuster. The cover grabbed my attention. While I agree that the cover art is misleading, this video was amazing. The story was awesome. But it was the cinematography that was amazing. The scenes are shot just as good as anything hollywood puts out. The background and setting really took my breath away. I loved the actors. There were many scenes I liked but that the very last scene is outstanding. I can not say how much I enjoyed this film. Good ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - A Heart-breaking Love Story
If catharsis is what you are looking for in a film, you will not be disappointed in Director Poj Amon's "Bangkok Love Story." The two young men in love (Rattanaballang Tohssawat as Cloud, the Thai who kills for a living and Chaiwat Thongsaeng [Stone] the police informant he refuses to kill) give outstanding heartwrenching performances. Constantly on the run from the members of organized crime who are out to kill them, they have to deal also with the stigma attached to two men loving each other. Add ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Not as believeable as "Brokeback", but just as emotional
"Bangkok Love Story" (Thailand, 2007) tells the unusual and emotional story of the growing relationship between two street-smart macho young men running from gangsters in that steamy, dark city.

Maek (referred to in subtitles as "Cloud") has become a hired killer to help support himself, his younger brother and mother, all three of whom are infected with HIV from his stepfather. He justifies his mission as only killing "bad" people, and crosses the boss when he refuses to execute a handsome ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Raw Yet Tender Love Story From the Underbelly of Bangkok
The cover of the DVD for this very fine film is misleading: the photograph of the two leads in a rather quiet and elegant setting is about as far from the content of the cinematic adventure as imaginable. Writer/Director Poj Amon has created a love story that is more from the underbelly of the poor section of Bangkok than it is from the expected physical beauty of that Thai city, and rather than focusing on the 'tourist view' of Thailand, he instead finds a different kind of beauty molded into a love story ...

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Disappointing...
The trailer for this movie was beautiful. But the movie left me wanting. To me, it was unrealistic and just didn't flow right. The scenes, as beautiful as they are, were too drawn out, and somewhat ackward. This had such potential, but fell short. :(
