jimadam These comments pertain to home video only, as I continue to prefer the big stuff in theaters.After plowing through Watchmen today and Beowolf yesterday, I really appreciated this movie, as one would appreciate a Burger King whooper. Sure, it is a brainless junk movie, but I like watching the action babes and Andrea Osvart is one hot babe.I am really tired of bloated big budget confusing movies seemingly with just big special effects and fight scenes comprised of stupid wire work.Action scenes are limited as are the fight scenes, but at least they are real looking. Mostly, the movie is all about following Ms. Osvart around as she goes about her assassin job. And I will follow her anywhere. Also, the music and Shanghai are highlights, as mentioned by other reviewers.Let's not take this movie seriously because an assassin should be someone who is very ordinary looking and very forgettable. One final reason to like this movie, is no one has named it the worst movie ever made, yet.
refdan I obtained this movie because I am a fan of femme fatale type characters, beautiful women who are also evil. The premise of this film is interesting, but the performances and action sequences are the worst I have seen since Wonder Woman.The dialog is very lame and the actors are obviously uncomfortable with the English language. The main character is portrayed as an assassin, equally skilled with a rifle or with her body, but she fails to sell either to the viewers. There is no suspense or build-up. Everything is so predictable and the end most unsatisfying.It seems that this is a weak attempt to copy successful Hong Kong female assassin films. It fails miserably on all accounts. The Chinese really know how to make these types of movies. Check out "Beyond Hypothermia" if you want to see what I mean.I heartily encourage you lovers of assassin flicks to avoid this one, unless you can get it for free, and even then only if you have nothing else to do.
kimberlymhn 'Two Tigers' is a sadly flawed movie which is crippled from the outset by the poor script and hideous acting from the two female leads. Neither Selena Khoo or Andrea Osvart is speaking their native tongue, but one wonders if they would look any better if they were. The movie concerns a crack female assassin Gilda (Osvart) who is sent on a mission to kill an Arabic businessman. On arrival she notices that the woman in the opposite apartment is a prostitute Lin (Khoo). After helping her fight off some heavies with some of the most ponderous and inept martial arts moves ever seen, the two become friends. But alas, her handlers order her to kill an expatriate Frenchman and his lover, who happens to be Lin. 'Two Tigers' cannot seem to make up it's mind whether it is a drama studying females whose lives are governed by men or a straight action picture. It fails as drama because nobody in the film can act. In Ms Khoo's lengthy (and obviously self penned) resume, she claims that she returned from Hollywood due to a lack of good roles for Asian women. The truth is more likely that she couldn't get any work because she is a terrible actress incapable of delivering any of her lines convincingly. Khoo only looks good on screen when she's silently posing in various states of undress, but she instantly looks years older the second she pulls any kind of facial expression. She claims to be 29, yet she did undoubled nude scenes with Robert Patrick in the Albert Pyun movie 'Hong Kong '97' which was made in 1994. So according to her she was 15 or 16 when she did the Pyun movie – something which I find hard to believe. Osvart fails to be convincing in her role as an assassin, and here is the other glaring fault of the movie – the 'action' is appallingly executed. Gilda's two 'hits' are done with absolutely no sense of tension or excitement as. she turns up, takes aim, kills and leaves. Even worse are the 'martial arts' scenes, where the bad guys crumple from the lamest looking kicks and punches imaginable. There is a scene at Lin's dojo where a line of students watch in fake awe as Lin and then Gilda demonstrate their pathetic martial arts 'skills' and the script adds even more contempt for the audience by having Lin asking Gilda 'what Dan are you'? I honestly have seen better fight choreography from teenagers goofing around on youtube than from the inept producers of 'Two Tigers' Unless you find the characters pleasant to look at, there is nothing to recommend in 'Two Tigers'. It seems that the producers obviously went with the old Godard line that all you need is a girl and a gun, but forgot that you also need a little talent behind and in front of the camera.
pkpera Italian director, Hungarian main actress, pretty bad English (undubbed).Filmed in Shanghai mostly, and some shots of city are best part of this 'creation'.Story doesn't deserve any attention: it is just stolen from some other, higher grade movies (this should be some D-grade).So, we have attractive female assassin, another attractive female, some love, some sex/nudity, some twist, shooting and extremely miserable fight scenes - because main actress has no clue about kung fu, all scenes were cut to milliseconds and shot from very close - to see only hand (leg) and target of punch - pih...Spoiler alert: ! (sic) End is as original as whole movie: happy end at pool under bright sun :-)
