So, last night my friends and I had a ‘terrible movie’ night. We got some things off their netflix list, and I was asked to round out the evening by picking something up on the way.
I picked up a thai (or possibly cambodian)- made film called ‘Mercury Man’, which, from the box, promised to be dreck.
It was really rather enjoyable. I’m not saying it was award material, but the people involved avoided a lot of the heavy cheese factor that we expected from them, and in the end, it was a really good martial arts / superhero cross-over. I’d recommend it to anyone who’s into superhero comics and kung-fu films, especially if you’re a Spiderman fan (Spiderman references abound.) It’s a neat little ‘turn off your brain’ action flick.
This? Sounds good, I’ll try it.
Yep, that’s the one.
