I was looking for a couple of hours of switching off my brain but found myself trying to work out why Angel's coffee machine was rigged as a bomb, why they were tied to chairs and one of them shot, how they knew the mad killer would be going to a train station, why an early lead they had didn't tell them that the death was an accident, and then after the end trying to work out why Angel was bound and thrown into the river to make it look like a murder.Not only that I'm still trying to work out why one reviewer here asked "Why would this movie be in English?" - that comment does make some critics who get paid seem quite intelligent and objective.All in all, quite thought provoking...

Oh dear lord, this really was a waste of talent. I find that on the whole most martial arts experts can be quite wooden when it comes to acting, this is probably because the director is focusing on the fight sequences and not too overly bothered by the story or the acting skills of their cast. This movie has so much wood the DVD player got splinters and was crying out in pain to play me this film.The only good aspect of this film is Gary Daniels who actually proves his acting ability, which isn't too hard.The bad thing is I have great respect for, not only Gary Daniels, but the rest of the cast Dustin Nguyen, Scott Adkins, and Kane Kosugi. So to watch them in something this dire was sad.I'm going to rest the blame for this travesty on the writer and director Wych Kaosayananda, who's story is drawn out, boring, and depressing; filled with one-dimensional characters who nobody can relate to or empathise with. His direction is worse than his storytelling. There is one scene where he shoots upwards at three actors; this means you only see them from the groyne upwards. Eighty percent of the shot is sky and he even burns this. Had this been a blue sky with clouds, a fly-by by a plane or a group of birds might have made it artistic; however, it's lazy and badly planned.It's so bad they even tried a rebranding from Zero Tolerance to leech off the success of the Denzil Washington and Mark Wahlberg film 2 Guns, by adding it to the beginning of their title. But BEWARE this is NOT a sequel or prequel... it has nothing to do with 2 Guns whatsoever. Naughty Naughty!!!If you see this on telly or on a dirt cheap DVD don't be conned into watching it like I was - turn away and run. There's so much better out there to watch than this.

2 GUNS: ZERO TOLERANCE was originally by all accounts a no-star Thai thriller called ANGELS which did very badly on release. So some money-savvy producers decided to re-edit the movie by bringing in a number of foreign martial artists and re-releasing the film as an action thriller. The problem is, the foreigners in the movie are little more than cameo actors and there's a dearth of action in the film which renders it sleep-inducing to all but the most faithful of movie fans.The main thrust of the plot is a murder mystery featuring the impassive Vietnamese actor Dustin Nguyen. Somebody murdered his daughter and he wants to find out who, so he goes on a rampage of revenge. Or at least that's what they want you to think. Instead, like most Thai films, this is indifferently acted and poorly shot, lacking verve and vitality in every scene, and the (few) brief fights are so poorly handled as to be worthless. Mostly it's all talk, and poorly spoken English, and dialogue that makes little sense.Poor old Scott Adkins is given prominent billing on the cover but barely appears in the film - he has about five minutes of screen time in a generic role. Japanese star Kane Kosugi is on screen even less. Gary Daniels is here too, but it feels like all of his scenes were shot in a single day because they don't amount to much. ZERO TOLERANCE is one of the most insipid Thai films I've watched, and a good example of that film's lack of current talent when it comes to basic film-making principles.

If you're a Scott Adkins' fan, watching Thai writer & director Wych Kaosayananda's "2 Guns: Zero Tolerance" is going to definitely disappoint you. I enjoy Scott Adkins epics, but this was a total letdown! Basically, Scott appears in something like three scenes, and he plays a slimy villain. This action thriller concerns two tough guys, Johnny (Dustin Nguyen of "Heaven & Earth") and Peter (Sahajak Boonthanakit of "No Escape"), searching whoever killed Johnny's daughter Angel (newcomer Nina Paosut) after her body is discovered in a river. "2 Guns" is really a messed up movie. Initially, it was released as "Angels" in 2012, and then Kaosayananda reedited this crime thriller and added new footage of Scott Adkins. The irony is that Johnny and Peter learn that Angel had become a prostitute and died when she overdosed on cocaine while participating in a threesome. She drowned in the pool where the three of them were frolicking. Now, Johnny and Peter wipe out half of Bangkok in their efforts to determine who killed his daughter. Nobody, it turns out, killed her, but a lot of villains in the Thai underworld suffer the wrath of Johnny and Peter before they learn the truth. The most striking thing about "2 Guns" is the resemblance that Dustin Nguyen bears to late action icon Charles Bronson. He is a dead ringer for Bronson. Don't squander your time on this half-baked actioneer. Let's hope that Scott made some decent dough with his second version. Kaosayananda is known for "Ballistic: Ecks Vs. Sever" and "Tekken 2." Don't be taken in by the deceptive cover photo on this DVD.
