Amsterdam Heavy (2011)

Best movie of this year hands down!

People are voting emotionally.

Fantastic!

Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.

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!

It seems like this movie is getting some harsh and I would have to argue unfair reviews! I decided to check out Amsterdam heavy when I saw it for sale in Tescos. With a title like Amsterdam Heavy I was expecting some pretty action-packed, arse kicking fight scenes and that's exactly what this movie is all about! The story has an entertaining and interesting concept which is delivered through a cast of both up and coming and renowned talent- Michael Madson is particularly of credit in his role as CIA Agent Martin Keele. The movie intertwines violence, action, dark humour and sex appeal to create an action packed 90 minute roller coaster ride into the criminal heart of Amsterdam. Okay so the fight scenes might not quite be Micheal Bay standard- but hey, the guys not the be all and end all… Michael Wright is a talented English director and who said action is dependant on how extreme you can make an explosion?! If you're looking for a unique watch that will keep your adrenaline pumping and your palms sweaty - Amsterdam Heavy is most definitely movie for you. Check it out. An entertaining and exhilarating film - 7/10

Amsterdam Heavy boils on the screen with non stop action, pulsing beats and a streak of dark humor, as an ex undercover cop smuggles himself back to Amsterdam to take revenge on a local crime boss who has tried to stitch him up big time. He fights his way out of the airport at the same time trying to recover his memory and work out who he really is. There's tons of fight action and some twists and turns along the way as he smashes his way through the Amsterdam underworld. An array of kookie characters get in his way as he gets closer to taking his revenge. But the real bad guy is not who he set out to get in the first place... fast, gritty and larger than life Amsterdam Heavy does the job.

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.
