Paris Reviews:
I Enjoyed This Movie Very Much!
2009-12-15 - I enjoyed this movie very much. Chad Allen was great and clearly a very talented young man. He's not only handsome but has great presence on screen. Bai Ling was great as well. This was the second movie I have seen her in. The first was "The Crow" and she is not only beautiful but you never know what's going on behind her eyes. She's a mystery woman who keeps you guessing to the end.

This movie may not be for everyone but if you enjoy a good independent movie with twists in the plot, this might be for you.



Wow...that was an experience
2009-09-13 - I'd have given it two stars cause the movie was so boring and pointless, but Chad takes his shirt off just often enough to make the show interesting. That and the movie is so bad it's funny made me give it three stars. I'd go on more, but I'd more but I'd not want to ruin it for you.

Bai Ling stars in a boring crime film
2008-05-19 - Paris has two great things to look at : Bai Ling and good digital video photography. The rest of the film is a boring ripoff of True Romance. Leon (James Russo),a crooked cop, is mistakenly shot by his partner Jason (Chad Allan) during a drug deal gone bad. Jason is devastated by the possibility that he may have paralyzed his mentor. In a vulnerable mind frame he agrees to Leon's request that he take the money from the dealers and deliver it to a woman named Linda (Bai Ling). Jason comes to find out that she is a beautiful Asian woman that Leon was seeing some time ago. The search for Linda takes Jason to numerous brothels and massage parlors. He doesn't find her but at one of the strip clubs he gets a little information from a seasoned prostitute named Chantal (Karen Black). Chantal thinks she knows where Linda is hiding and after she discloses that information to Jason she gives him a warning. She tells him to be careful of Leon. She tells him that he is a violent and dangerous man who should be feared. This scene is a little odd since Black vamps it up while outfitted in such a tight corset that pushes her bust up. Her sinister laugh is creepy as well. Jason finally finds Linda in a Vegas casino. He tells her that Leon has been hurt bad and that he wanted her to have the money. A little apprehensive Linda takes the money and leaves that night. The next morning Jason is ready to come back home since he thinks his mission is complete but when Linda knocks on his hotel door fearing for her life he realizes that his problems have only just begun. Both the mob and the police are after Jason and Linda and the two start running for their lives. As they hide out at cheap motels the two begin to fall for each other. They plan on using their ill gotten gains to buy a place in Paris where they hope to live happily ever after. This film wasn't that exciting and the story was too similar to True Romance. There were also a few odd touches like the Karen Black scene but also a cameo from Ron Jeremy. The only decent acting comes from Bai Ling who also provides some brief nudity. Female viewers may appreciate Chad Allan's looks since they won't be impressed by his acting. The film benefits from it's DV photography which makes it a little grittier and more authentic but otherwise it is a fairly predictable crime thriller.

Awesome movie!
2004-07-11 - PLOT:
This is an Independent, modern film noir about young, rookie cop Jason Bartok (played by the handsome Chad Allen) who accidently shoots his older cop partner during a shootout. He follows the orders of his injured partner to take the money from the crime scene and give it to a beautiful Chinese woman named Linda (Bai Ling). In order to give her the money, Jason must find out who she is and track her down. BUT thats not all. Lots of twists, turns, and suspense along the way as Jason goes through a series of disturbance, questions, betrayal, romance, etc. Not a lot of action or gore, but this is an interesting movie worth watching on how the story unfolds until the end.

VISUAL:
Great cinematography--the film was mostly digitally shot, making the movie more real-life towards the viewer. The reality-style cam makes us feel like we're actually with Jason throughout the movie. The camera captures good angles of the Las Vegas city lights and carries a dark tone, especially in the beginning where we are introduced to Jason stumbling in the Las Vegas street. There are also some good shots of the desert atmosphere later on.
More to offer from this film is its original score.

TALENT:
Superb, talented acting by the two very attractive leads: Chad Allen and Bai ling. This movie alone is worth watching because of their acting. Their onscreen chemistry also comes off as very natural and convincing. They absolutely sizzle!

Just my opinion. Thanks for reading!

Excellent!
2004-05-05 - An EXCELLENT film. Similar to "The Transporter," but grittier, and not as much action. This film focuses on the Asian sex trade in America. Many of the scenes were filmed with a digital camera, which adds a very real feel to it. Considered film noir, this drama suspense, keeps you on the edge of your seat. A classy romance also unfolds. Both Chad Allen and Bai Ling do an excellent job. Filmed mostly in Vegas and the Nevada dessert.
