Brian Orndorf BrianOrndorf.com Vanquisher is a complete waste of time, and anyone with a fondness for Thai action cinema would be well advised to skip it. Rated: D- Apr 4, 2011 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member This is your typical "there's a double crosser in the government" movie. The acting is abysmal. The plot is inconsistent and at times the characters aren't well defined so there were times I had thought to myself, "What is going on again?". The fighting scenes are pretty good but "The Vanquisher" woman looks like a five year old who is ready to have a major meltdown. There is nothing badass about that look. Minimal blood and gore. This film begs to be vanquished itself. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member the info about the movie is all wrong. no life is being saved, its just a girl who worked for the cia black ops, got betrrayed by its corrupted parts, went back to thailand to continue police work, and was attacked again by the corrupt agents when they went to chase terrorists in any case, the movie is very bad, the only saivng grace is if you cut out all the talking parts and just left the action parts, which isn't that bad but not impressive. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Worst movie I've seen in a very very long time. The acting was horrible and the cinematography sucked. There was some action, but it just wasn't good enough. This movie blew. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Average Thai action and little lack of English subtitles because I believe there are some English languages. I'm disappointed about the dialogue already made up as what I wished to have full Thai language. Thai actresses Sopita Sribanchuen and Kessarin Ektwatkul kick their asses onto the Japanese ninjas on the final 45 minutes - so impressive. But the acting is unimpressive.

Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Manop Udomdej's <i>The Vanquisher</i> is a B-movie out of Thailand that doesn't live up to the hype.<p>The story, at least in the early going, is difficult to grasp. There are many time jumps, things feel choppy, all the while a number of characters receive a lot of focus. In other words, it isn't easy to distinguish who this film solely revolves around. Characters come and go and everything gradually consolidates together, but by then it doesn't matter because nearly all of the final 45 minutes is just action.</p><p>The action is the highlight of the film thanks to some swords, guns, hand to hand combat, and motorcycles. It is also nice to see females doing most of the damage. For the most part these segments are good, despite some dark settings and mediocre camera angles.</p><p>The acting is unimpressive, but tolerable. The dialogue is made up of Thai, English, and some Japanese. The English comes across as unnatural as if the actors are reading right off of a script. Sopita Sribanchuen and Kessarin Ektawatkul are the two women to be on the lookout for. The latter is hotter and more impressive with her fights. Jacqueline Apitananon, who uses a good mixture of English and Thai, and Pete Thongchua are the other notables that are involved in the action.</p><p>At just under 90 minutes, <i>The Vanquisher</i> serves as a brief moment of females crossing swords and exchanging blows. Still, it is one to pass up on.</p> Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews
