wow

movie ....hellhound ..

This for me, a strange watch. I remember the main actor, was in a movie with Scott Adkins. 2 good fun movies. Debt Collectors. So, this movie, a very strange video aspect, it appears that if you look at the screen, about one quarter of the movie if missing on the left side.... But, it is what it is. So, the story, I get it, maybe some subtitles for the Thai language would be helpful, but an enjoyable movie, action as expected. So a bit of vengeance in this but not fully explained in the original synopsis. Moving forward, I thought it was enjoyable, having no idea what the thai language parts meant, but did not spoil the movie at all. As far as an action movie, all good, enjoy the watch. If you happen to see with full english subs, would be useful.

I was lucky enough to attend the premiere of this new film in Bangkok on the big screen. I loved the look and feel of Hellhound. We get to see a lot of Bangkok and there were some really fantastic shots - especially the rooftop fight scene. Lead actor was great and overall the acting quality was pretty good for this level of movie in terms of budget. I did feel that the narrative could have been a bit clearer, and perhaps the lead character could have been fleshed out a bit more. At times it seemed he disappeared from the narrative and his sidekick had more on screen time than him. The photography was excellent and the action scenes were very well shot - some great camera tricks in some moments. We could have had more action scenes - this would be my main takeaway - I almost wanted it to have been more of a smash em up movie - and go all in with it! However - it was a good effort from all involved. I'm not sure why it was called HellHound - perhaps that aspect could havebeen explored a bit more - I did get the connection to it through some of the dialogue, but I dont think it was explored enough. There was humour but perhaps not enough.... Well done all involved.

Once you enter you can never leave. Hellhound stars one of the most underrated Action Actors in this generation Louis Mandylor Joshua Dixon Directing from the screenplay by Niccolo De La Fere., Daniel Zirilli "Intercept" "Crossing Point" is the EP. We find ourselves in the heart of Bangkok where seasoned Hitman Loreno (Louis Mandylor) is pulled back from retirement into the Deadly World he wants to leave behind. Hellhound s fight scenes are exhilarating, on point showcasing Louis Mandylor commanding what a Bold Badass Lorenzo is. Without giving away spoilers this Action movie is absolutely worth watching more than once. I had a watch party and we truly became psyched had such a tremendously good time watching Hellhound. I highly suggest watching this movie. Hellhound does not disappoint💥💥

This movie is action-packed and totally up my alley! Louis Mandylor nailed it as Loreno, making his character feel so real and relatable. His acting was just natural, and it gave me some serious Scarface vibes, which is a big deal for me since it's my all-time favorite movie. The fight scenes were awesome; none of that cheesy, over-the-top stuff - it felt gritty and real, all thanks to how Louis Mandylor brought his character to life. The slow-motion edits were a cool touch, and the surprises at the end kept me on the edge of my seat. I don't get why some reviews are complaining about the pacing; it flowed perfectly with the story, in my opinion. And that ending? So good and ironic. No spoilers here, but if you're into action flicks with a solid story and killer performances, this one's a winner.

Movies are story. Story is king. Story is paramount. If you don't have story. You don't have jack. Writing story is a craft. Writing takes time. Screenplay writing is even more difficult than writing short-form or long-form prose. But it can be done. And the benefits of a patient writer who hones their script until they have a well balanced screenplay with clear characters with clear arcs, are multiple. We, the audience are the recipients of said benefits. Hellhound has neither clear character arcs nor a proper storyline. Sure - it trundles out hackneyed old tropes and cliche after cliche; no doubt the creators were laboring under the misapprehension that cliche's are cliche's because cliches are good. In the hands of a skilled writer, cliche's CAN be very useful - tactical weapons deployed with precision to create a desired effect. Not so in this case. There were so many rookie mistakes in this film that it makes it very painful if not frustrating to watch. A classic being bringing in a new character in the last but final scene of the film. It matters not that this character was the one who ordered the hit - that aspect was so badly communicated that we had no idea. The protagonist was one that we didn't care about. Just because he shoots a pedophile priest in the opening scene (a character who could have been played by a really interesting actor - but was farmed out to someone who didn't know how to act and sounded like he had just learned his lines) is simply not enough to make us care about him. He then goes on to do "one last job" - we catch him going out in the tropical jungle to meet an old firiend CHOPPING WOOD (badly) - for God knows what reason - aint nobody lighting fires and burning logs in the jungles of Thailand.... and from there it's a garbled mess of tedious exposition and excessively pointless direction - we don't need to see people getting in and out of cars and walking for miles etc - just get on with the story. - oh yes - I forgot - you dont have one. We're in Bangkok - so of course - al the women are stereotypes - hell - everyone is a stereotype - it's women, guns, kickboxing, drinking and hunting down the baddie - who in this case is a bisexual thug. The storyline is pointless. The positives are few - but strong. It seems the writer is also a DOP (director of photography) and he is clearly good at this job. The establishing shots of Bangkok are great - and he clearly knows how to shoot action. That's as far as his talent goes. He should stick to that. The fight scenes were well directed by whoever was the fight director. There were a few nifty fight scenes, but they were few and far between and certainly not enough to cut through the dire dialogue masquerading as some kind of deep philosophical theorizing. Scenes are hampered by pointless musings on God, death and mortality - to what end? Pick a lane and stick in it. This film COULD have been a real classic Thai kickboxing or revenge film. But it wasn't. The director knows how to handle a film set - but he doesn't really know how to direct. The score for the film seemed to have been churned out by a composer who couldn't be bothered to find any musical ID for the film. There was way too much orchestral scoring for a film that didn't require it. It was also intrusive at points - the hallmark of a great score is that you only notice it when you need to notice it. Final thoughts - it seems like this movie was made by a bunch of people who said 'I really wanna make a movie" but they didnt have a proper script. Making a good movie is difficult - and that's probably the best thing that this movie communicated.
