I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
Good movie but grossly overrated
The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity
An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
All the "excellent" reviews on this film are clearly fake.I caught this while on vacation in LA out of curiosity, as I've never seen a mainstream Filipino movie before. The Western names on most of the movie poster credits seem to indicate that it might be OK.Boy, was I wrong.Biggest pile of poorly written/acted/cast sh*t I've ever seen in my life. And in bad fake 3D!After a quick google, the director appears to be some rich idiot banker with too much money on his hands and fancied being a "director".It turns out that the theaters this film was only being shown in are:ALSO OWNED BY HIM.If there's any justice, the film negative should be burned and recycled into something useful, like a toilet roll holder.
For those of you who don't know the elegant and fabulous Bebe Pham - Vietnamese Supermodel Extraordinaire, this was her US debut. The suspense thriller takes place on the beautiful islands of Philippines. The movie started off a little slow but picked up speed, action and intrigue as the film progressed. I didn't notice I was holding my breath during the underwater fight scene! Mick Gleissner and Amelia Jackson Gray did a great job in their roles. Bebe could use a little coaching in the acting. At first I didn't care about her, but I did warm up to her her sister, played by Jaymee Ong. But this is more of an action film and I liked the underwater scenes in 3D.
Great job on the underwater diving scenes and car chase! There were many exciting scenes that kept me glued to my seat. I really like how this film featured the beautiful island of Cebu, Philippines! Nice shots on the scenic view which showcased the pristine blue waters around the island. It made me want to book a ticket to the Philippines.I didn't know any of the actors. One did stand out. Kudos to Jaymee Ong for a wonderful performance. Her acting was awesome and natural. Some of the actors though should take up acting lessons.Overall, the movie was entertaining. Cool soundtrack. I wouldn't mind buying the DVD to keep. Congratulations to the cast and crew.
Out of all the 3D films I've seen this year, DEEP GOLD was really cool and well done. I didn't lift my glasses once like I did when I saw Last Airbender or Clash of the Titans. It's a total genre driven action flick! Surprisingly good performances from Michael Gleissner, Jaymee Ong, Amelia Jackson-Grey and the smoking' hot Laury Prudent. There's something old school about the movie I really dug. I'm not sure if that was intended, but I was into it.I saw the ads and saw the billboards and even though I didn't know any of the actors I wanted to check it out and I'm glad I did. It's got a James Bond lite type of feel with the locations and Philippine army storyline surrounding the shipment of gold. But it doesn't have a James Bond macho hero, it's got two Asian-American actresses (bebe Pham and Jaymee Ong) as the leads and it had a little Thelma and Louise (women against the world) thing going on which I also liked.
