Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent!
Review: An EXCELLENT film. Similar to "The Transporter," but grittier, and not as much action. This film focuses on the Asian sex trade in America. Many of the scenes were filmed with a digital camera, which adds a very real feel to it. Considered film noir, this drama suspense, keeps you on the edge of your seat. A classy romance also unfolds. Both Chad Allen and Bai Ling do an excellent job. Filmed mostly in Vegas and the Nevada dessert.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Awesome movie!
Review: PLOT:
This is an Independent, modern film noir about young, rookie cop Jason Bartok (played by the handsome Chad Allen) who accidently shoots his older cop partner during a shootout. He follows the orders of his injured partner to take the money from the crime scene and give it to a beautiful Chinese woman named Linda (Bai Ling). In order to give her the money, Jason must find out who she is and track her down. BUT thats not all. Lots of twists, turns, and suspense along the way as Jason goes through a series of disturbance, questions, betrayal, romance, etc. Not a lot of action or gore, but this is an interesting movie worth watching on how the story unfolds until the end.

VISUAL:
Great cinematography--the film was mostly digitally shot, making the movie more real-life towards the viewer. The reality-style cam makes us feel like we're actually with Jason throughout the movie. The camera captures good angles of the Las Vegas city lights and carries a dark tone, especially in the beginning where we are introduced to Jason stumbling in the Las Vegas street. There are also some good shots of the desert atmosphere later on.
More to offer from this film is its original score.

TALENT:
Superb, talented acting by the two very attractive leads: Chad Allen and Bai ling. This movie alone is worth watching because of their acting. Their onscreen chemistry also comes off as very natural and convincing. They absolutely sizzle!

Just my opinion. Thanks for reading!
