Bangkok Revenge(2011)
It’s 1990, and the child, Manit, has just witnessed the killing of his parents by corrupt cops. Shot at point-blank range, Manit survives, but with a bullet in his skull that prevents him from experiencing emotion. With his fighting chops and emotional dysfunction, Manit is efficient, albeit with his extremities, not firearms. He brawls anywhere: a gym, a bar, a subway car, an elevator, a car interior.

If I'm reading the (French) credits correctly, this was a Red shot feature, and it looks rather good most of the time, at least when Mineo lights things properly. For example, the whole final act of the film plays out in very dimly lit environments, with the (perhaps intentional) result being that you can't really clearly make out any of the fighting. These darker scenes never devolve to outright crush, but there's a serious lack of shadow detail that is kind of annoying, especially in the action sequences. That qualm aside, the bulk of this high definition presentation is very sharp, with excellent fine detail in close-ups, accurate looking color (although this has been color graded in several sequences), and a generally clear and precise picture. There is one completely peculiar anomaly in the final credits that I have to assume is intentional. The credits kind of shimmer and warp incessantly. It's either the worst case of instability I've seen recently or a really odd (and ineffective, since it makes things so hard to read) choice for a font. Bangkok Revenge Blu-ray, Audio QualityBangkok Revenge features a lossless DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 mix that is listed as being in the "original Thai", but which in fact is almost entirely in (mangled) English. Foo himself seems to have a fairly competent command of speaking English, but several of the other actors are so unintelligible it's best to have the optional subtitles (which tellingly come in two forms—one only for the Thai spoken segments, and the other for the entire film) handy to turn on at a moment's notice. Diction and pronunciation elements aside, the soundtrack is clear and extremely well prioritized, with excellent fidelity, dynamic range and some nicely immersive moments in the fight scenes (a foley artist must have had a field day creating all the bone crunching sounds that abound in this movie). Quite unexpectedly, the score by Christophe Gerber is rather good for this kind of film and helps to establish a kind of creepy vibe in several key sequences.
