Zero Tolerance

This movie isn't action movie at all. Sure it has some shooting scenes but theres zero hand to hand combat in it which is usually expected from this cast.

Scott adkins on the cover is highly misleading he plays very small role in this and is not lead. The movie simply did that for promotional purposes.

The premise is not bad but direction is slow, draggy, dull, and overall boring. More I watched, more I got a headache.

Diddn't enjoy this movie and dont think many will.

This was my first Scott Adkins letdown of a movie, but I think that's because even though he is featured prominently on the cover art for the film, he's barely in it and only has about two fight scenes. The story is basically a DEATH WISH setup that takes place in Bangkok, with an ex-covert operative, Dustin Nguyen (the Asian guy from the original 21 JUMP STREET series) hunting down the people responsible for killing his daughter. I had hopes for this movie since it featured an interesting cast that included martial arts regular Gary Daniels (THE EXPENDABLES), Kane Kosugi, the real-life son of 80s ninja movie mainstay Shô Kosugi (ENTER THE NINJA, REVENGE OF THE NINJA, NINJA III: THE DOMINATION, NINE DEATHS OF THE NINJA, etc.), and also Adkins (ACCIDENT MAN, JOHN WICK 4, who I have been binging on lately. The fight scenes are well choreographed but poorly shot, with too many cuts and not giving the audience a clear picture of what's happening. Unless you're a die-hard 21 JUMP STREET fan or a Scott Adkins completionism, skip this one.

When I stumbled upon this 2015 movie titled "Zero Tolerance", from writer and director Wych Kaosayananda, I had never even heard about it. But the fact that it had Scott Adkins on the cast list definitely helped sweeten the deal.

"Zero Tolerance", while certainly being a watchable movie, ultimately just turned out to be a bland and generic action thriller, without much of neither action nor thrills. So writer Wych Kaosayananda didn't exactly impress me with this 2015 movie.

The only familiar faces on the screen, for me at least, were actors Scott Adkins and Gary Daniels. I saw Kane Kosugi's name on the cast list, and assume he is related to Sho Kosugi, but I am not familiar with his acting performances or career. The acting performances in "Zero Tolerance" were fair.

Watchable, sure, but hardly a noteworthy action thriller. Nor is it a movie that will ever grace my screen a second time. And definitely not among the top of movies from Scott Adkins, whom was hardly in the movie at all.

My rating of writer and director Wych Kaosayananda's 2015 movie "Zero Tolerance" lands on a generous four out of ten stars.

This is a lifeless action thriller. It was reedited form an earlier film with some footage of current B movie action stars such as Scott Adkins.

In fact there is not much action in this lurid tale of two former para-military guys Johnny (Dustin Nguyen) and his police detective friend Peter (Sahajak Boonthanakit) who hunt the Bangkok underworld to find the people who killed Johnny's young daughter Angel.

Peter and Johnny kill indiscriminately for the search for Angel's killers, although both men spend time mostly talking about Angel.

There is a hint that Angel's life and death may just had been sleazy and Johnny was not much of a dad.

This is not an action film, the promotion featuring Adkins and Gary Daniels is just a cheat.

The movie might be easy to spot and you probably won't be too surprised by the ending. But it's still nicely made, if you don't expect a martial arts romp that is. It seems that some people thought, that with all the names attached this would be a lot of hand-to-hand action and fighting. And while there is a certain amount of action, it's mostly "gunplay"/-fighting that is going on.

A fair warning (or whatever you want to call it): there is a lot of nudity in this movie, though it's almost entirely in the first 2-3 minutes. After that we see Mr. Adkins, but he's not the lead in this, so don't get confused by that either. It's a man on a mission, a different take on ... Taken.
