    What WERE they thinking?

    OK. Cred for producing a film for just half a million. But....

    Is this like the banking crisis? Does the production team sit through an early cut and say "Well, we spent all the money, so we HAVE to release it, even though it sucks".

    Because if they thought this bit of rubbish was any good, someone wasted their money.

    Michael Madsen. You know what? Because it was a solo piece he could have, (maybe did?), shot at home, he does a halfway decent job.

    No-one else is worth anything. Dialogue, direction, acting, and - omg - fight direction - all suck. In spades.

    And while I'm on it.... 4 positive reviews, all from people who've never reviewed anything before. Is there NO WAY IMDb can do something about this?

    No way this even strays into 'so bad its good' territory.

    Its just bad. Save your time and money.

    Thumbs up for making it for half a million. If they recover even half, it'll be down to the highly mis-representative trailer.

    Terrible film -- a film school student would be ashamed of it

    It's difficult to come up with enough instances of the word "bad" to describe this film -- bad script, bad acting, REALLY bad fight choreography, bad direction, bad music, bad everything. About the only thing it's got going for it is that it was shot in a few exotic locations, if you consider the tourist sections of Amsterdam exotic.

    Rik Sinkeldam in the lead part is -- astoundingly -- a worse martial artist than he is an actor. If you watch the trailer and catch some of his wooden acting in it, you'll find it hard to believe that he could do anything worse. But he does. The martial arts in this film could be used as a training video for how NOT to do martial arts.

    I guess what should have tipped me off is the same thing that should have tipped me off about the recent "Setup." That film -- also terrible -- tried to use Bruce Willis' name, in a tiny, uninspired part, to sell a horrible idea horribly implemented on film by a horrible director. This one does the same thing, using Michael Madson's name and brief appearance. The only thing that would make either of these films worth having been made in my opinion is that both actors are laughing all the way to the bank, having suckered a bunch of idiots into paying them a lot of money for one's day's work.

    Great fight scenes; underground Amsterdam; sexy women.

    I see a lot of bad reviews here and I don't agree with people who don't see great moments of this movie. First of all, there's Amsterdam itself. It is a great, fresh location for an action movie. It reveals the underground criminal element but is still so mysteriously beautiful. We all love Amsterdam for being a "badass" city and a sin city but also romantic at the same time.

    Fight scenes are very well done in Amsterdam Heavy. I would agree there are several scenes where the camera could get a better view of fight details but the choreography of fights and their intensity were very cool and engaging. It was also very pleasant to see the MMA fighters and a famous gymnast.

    I must mention the sexy female characters, including hot deadly assassins.

    I see some people have a problem with Dutch actors speaking English. I think that it make the movie even more interesting, however I can understand that for Dutch people it might sound a little unusual.

    Watch the movie and decide yourself.

    The only unforgivable sin in a martial arts movie

    When I watch movies about big, angry, bald men who beat up everyone else in the movie, I'm willing to overlook a lot of things: plot, characterization, acting, SFX, etc. All I really ask for is good fight choreography and stunts. Unfortunately, this movie really sucks in that department. Also, the director really isn't very good at directing action scenes, either, so they end up being rather boring. As if all that isn't enough, the movie constantly resorts to filler in order to pad the run-time -- half of the scenes take place in strip clubs. I guess if you're a teenage male, that might be a potential positive, but I don't understand why you'd sit through this bad movie just to see a few breasts when you've got access to the internet.

    You're better off just re-watching old Bruce Lee movies. As an added bonus, you generally get much better plot and acting, too.

    A big man with memory loss fights his way through Amsterdam piecing it back together and avenging himself on everyone.

    I am absolutely and seriously surprised that there are some positive reviews here !

    My vote was 1 out of 10, but that's only because there was no 0 to choose in the box !

    I have never... and I mean this from the bottom of my heart... NEVER seen a worse movie than this one.

    First of all it's ridiculous that almost everybody speaks English in this movie while it sets in Amsterdam. Please don't go to Amsterdam and think that people there all speak English !

    Secondly ; the acting, I have only 1 thing to say about that ; it is non-existent! there is no acting, its just people saying their lines ! apart from 2 exceptions that is. Allison Carroll and Michael Madsen are acting, it's just the rest that isn't !

    3rd ; the filming itself was not even poor anymore, just downright awful !

    4th ; the fight scenes, sometimes when the fight scenes are badly made you laugh at it. This however was SO bad I genually had to cry !

    Such a shame, the story was good it could have made for a good movie, but they somehow managed to screw it up in the worst way !

    I can't believe I actually spent money on this! There's 90 minutes of my life i'll never get back!

    • Trivia
      While it's never made unambiguously clear in the film, the main villain Gunter is probably German. His name is uncommon in Holland but regular in Germany, he uses several German slang words in his final scene and the coin he regularly flips is a rather obscure German 2005 reprint of an old 5 mark coin bearing the German eagle and the name and image of 'Friedrich Schiller'.
    • Crazy credits
      One of the last lines in the closing credits is a disclaimer stating "No Dutch persons were harmed in the making of this motion picture."
