Deep Gold

Please don't waste your time watching this very, very, very bad movie. It's honestly the worst movie I've ever seen. What a waste! The acting is horrible, the story doesn't make any sense, the cinematography and the editing suck big time. The music is great, and that's the only positive comment I'm going to make. Why do people get money to make this film? It doesn't make any sense. Whoever made this film has clearly not a clue of filmmaking. It feels like a bunch of film students got together and decided to do a film. Well, that's not fair. Film students would do much better films, guaranteed. Deep Gold - what a joke. I want my money back!

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.

Having followed the progress of Deep Gold (the film shot for almost 3 years), the result is kind of a mixed bag. Overall, I liked the action scenes, and the story is relatively OK (for an action/b-movie). The acting of villain Michael Gleissner is surprisingly good (given that he is the director), so is the acting of Jaymee Ong and Laury Prudent (I was not sold on the lead, Bebe Pham). The story drags on in the beginning, but I liked the comic relief that the "harbor master" (Kersten Hui) provided.

The underwater action scenes provided great action, but they were too dark and often lacked details. The cinematography did not seem to have consistency throughout the film (it seems like over the long shooting time, several cinematographers worked on the film).

The closing titles are interrupted with an "interview with the mayor", summarizing what has happened ... totally unnecessary and annoying.

I don't know what to start off with... I have to say that I registered on IMDb just to review this POS movie.

I've watched plenty of bad movies but haven't seen this bad ever. I had to stop watching half way. Clearly this has been done by a rich guy with too much money on his hands, with no skills at all on directing etc. I even tried to watch this thinking it was a bad comedy movie, but it was just too much. Making a review of the movie is very hard when it's so sh*t. One word is enough to describe the movie and you know what that word is. OK, if you like to fall asleep in a very short time, then this is perfect movie for you.

All those reviews with more than one star must be scam.

Do not bother to watch this.

I guess if you care about how female characters look and not so much about the story ... you might find something here that others are not. But anyone else will not really be smitten (sorry for the pun) or enticed (and that one) by the movie overall speaking.

Having said that, I guess you can see some women empowerment in this, if you really want to. But overall it really isn't that good. There is some blood and some action, but don't expect too much from that either ...
