Featured reviews
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.
i want 2 hours of my life back.
and FYI guys, this movie is not a Filipino movie. it was shot in the Philippines which is why the scenery is not a disappointment,
but the director, writer and producer is a crappy German.
can you believe that this movie was shot for more than 2 years? complete waste of time, money and energy!
worst movie ever
bad acting
awful story
Which it was, in a way...
"Deep Gold" was entertaining enough for what it turned out to be, which was a semi-low budget action thriller. Mind you, there are far, far better movies in the genre out there. I managed to sit through "Deep Gold" to the end, and it should be said that the movie wasn't actually boring. But on the other hand, it wasn't a masterpiece either.
The movie was shot in the Philippines, but somehow it eluded me why they spoke English and not Tagalog, the main dialect of the Philippines, or Cebuano, the local dialect spoken in the Cebu area where the movie was taking place. To reach out to a wider audience perhaps, I can only speculate. However, it felt forced and the movie seemed to lose some of its authenticity by having the Filipino and Filipina performers speak English.
While "Deep Gold" hardly was a memorable movie, and one that I am sure will be obliterated from my memory in less than 48 hours, then it was still an enjoyable enough movie if you enjoy B-movies - which I happen to do. Then again, I am all for giving every movie a chance.
Bebe Pham, playing Amy Sanchez, carried the movie quite well almost singlehandedly. So that was quite an accomplishment and testament to her acting talent and performance.
"Deep Gold" is, however, not the type of movie that will make it around for a second viewing, because the movie just didn't have that much appeal or that much of a plot and storyline to support more than a single viewing.
I am rating "Deep Gold" five out of ten stars.
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.
