I am absolutely and seriously surprised that there are some positive reviews here !My vote was 1 out of 10, but that's only because there was no 0 to choose in the box !I have never... and I mean this from the bottom of my heart... NEVER seen a worse movie than this one.First of all it's ridiculous that almost everybody speaks English in this movie while it sets in Amsterdam. Please don't go to Amsterdam and think that people there all speak English !Secondly ; the acting, I have only 1 thing to say about that ; it is non-existent! there is no acting, its just people saying their lines ! apart from 2 exceptions that is. Allison Carroll and Michael Madsen are acting, it's just the rest that isn't !3rd ; the filming itself was not even poor anymore, just downright awful !4th ; the fight scenes, sometimes when the fight scenes are badly made you laugh at it. This however was SO bad I genually had to cry !Such a shame, the story was good it could have made for a good movie, but they somehow managed to screw it up in the worst way !I can't believe I actually spent money on this! There's 90 minutes of my life i'll never get back!

Amsterdam Heavy does what it says on the box and packs a ton of action in its 90 minutes. There's some dodgy dutch dealing but out hero kicks ass all the way to the end and eventually pieces his memory back together but he goes on to fight another day. Some great stuff in the Red Light in Amsterdam and some funny one liners. It's not a Bourne budget but it makes up for it with some screwed up action (chase on bikes!) and a sense of two fisted fun. So what if we've seen the 'lost his memory' gag before it's a beer and pizza movie if you want art house see tree of life. Alison Carroll is awesome as the 'stripper with guns' and Jeroen Post is a funny, funny bad guy. Great music too.

I am Dutch, but his product makes me ashamed. It is really really bad. Everything. The dialog....bad as it is, its made worse cos the 99% dutch cast cannot talk decent English. Guess there was no money for a decent language coach. The story is non existent, the acting is lame , the talent is zero , the camera work is just awful, the fighting is lame as never seen before and the few special effects that are real simple they managed to f..k up. It feels like kids aged 10-12 made this movie. MYGOD worst movie in a long time. Makes the SF channel-b flicks look like masterpieces. I like all kinds of movies , even bad ones, meaning if they are real bad / funny bad, you know what I mean, I can see the fun of that, but this one is just inhumane. Funny everyone who gave this a good review only reviewed thís title, no other reviews lol. So they made their accounts especially to give this a good review , yeah right. Definitely in on the deal. Shame on everyone involved.

When I watch movies about big, angry, bald men who beat up everyone else in the movie, I'm willing to overlook a lot of things: plot, characterization, acting, SFX, etc. All I really ask for is good fight choreography and stunts. Unfortunately, this movie really sucks in that department. Also, the director really isn't very good at directing action scenes, either, so they end up being rather boring. As if all that isn't enough, the movie constantly resorts to filler in order to pad the run-time -- half of the scenes take place in strip clubs. I guess if you're a teenage male, that might be a potential positive, but I don't understand why you'd sit through this bad movie just to see a few breasts when you've got access to the internet.You're better off just re-watching old Bruce Lee movies. As an added bonus, you generally get much better plot and acting, too.
