Nguoi Bât Tu

I have watched it by my friends recommendation. Although I don't really expecting too much from a Vietnamese movie. But this is blowing my mind: the acting really great, also the action scene, horror moment, dramatic situation, beautiful landscape, amazing music. Only one thing that I don't like is the actor speech, it's too awkward. If you have a chance, watch it. Not gonna waste your money.

A real thrilling story visualized excellently. Countryside of VietNam was amazingly beautiful in every scence of the movie. Victor Vu did a wonderful job in directing and cinetography, his taste of sounds and film music was great too. Very touching and traditional.

Nguoi bat tu (or The Immortal) is the best action-thriller movie in Vietnam in 2010s. It has good soundtrack, good historical scene, quite great story (and no stupid comedy scene) but the ending may disappoint you. Because Vietnamese film law prevent/ban movies about superstition, especially bua ngai (or dark magic). Victor Vu told us about the fate of immortality, which is really pessimistic but enough for anyone to have a better view about life, time and destiny. But if you just care about action scene, you will be entertained a lot.

Watched through haft of the movie and i was still wondering what the genre was. Victor Vu tried to mix everything into one single pot,which is quite daring and fresh, but... it resulted in a badly mixed combo. The movie itself has too many flaws and bad story-telling, some of which are even very amateur. But at least the music is nice. :)

Apart from the beautiful visuals and good music, there's nothing else about this movie that I like, especially the extremely bad script!
