White Tiger Audience Reviews

SnoReptilePlenty Memorable, crazy movie
ChicRawIdol A brilliant film that helped define a genre
Josephina Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.
Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
Dusan Petrovic This was one of the movies which I used to like when I was kid. I'd been surprised with great action scenes full of attractive fighting elements. Gary Daniels was great in this movie. He is ex Delta squad or some kind of special forces, well trained and ruthless FBI agent. He got the most unexpected partner for his companion ( Matt Craven ), who was dedicated family man. Of course there' d always been some kind of double agent, who worked for the both sides ( Julia Nickson ). I remembered her from the sequel of Rambo, when he was in the mission of saving American prisoners who'd been captured on the wrong sight of the map and after American soldiers'd retreated from Vietnam they had been suddenly forgotten and left to die in pain and suffer. Her character in this movie was double agent, who'd been working for the both sides. Their mission was to locate, find and capture one of the most dangerous international criminals, who'd been charged for distributing bio-chemical weapon. His code name was The White Tiger ( Cary- Hiroyuki Tagawa ). Craven'd been killed in action and Julia was missing and completely disappeared. Of course, there came expect-able part when the main character'd been suspended and without any authority, on his own hand, trying to revenge partner's death and find the other before everything became too late.
Leofwine_draca A middle-of-the-road action thriller with almost enough cool action to take your mind off the predictable, almost non-existent plot. Although the pacing is a little on the slow side, the film is well-photographed and the martial arts bouts well-staged and exciting. The British Gary Daniels adopts the familiar "cop on the edge" role so frequently used by the likes of Van Damme and Seagal and is surprisingly efficient in the leading role, with passable acting and a fine range of skills in the action stakes.Daniels is supported by an attractive love interest (not sure of her name, but she looks like Jenny Agutter) and Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa, who has a ball as the sadistic, insane villain. This is a film for those who like to see Woo-inspired heavies riding motorbikes and getting gunned down, people being kicked in slow motion through windows and off balconies, arms and necks breaking, and lots of shootings and explosions. Good action, but a strong story is needed for a good film and this just doesn't have one unfortunately.
Comeuppance Reviews DEA agent Mike Ryan (Daniels) would rather be rock climbing with his buddy and fellow Special Op John Grogan (Craven)...but instead he's chasing after a gang of Asian drug lords led by the sinister Victor Chow (Tagawa). Like Showdown in Little Tokyo (1991), Tagawa and his boys are going to unleash a powerful new drug on the black market. When Chow murders his buddy, despite being told to just "let it go", Mike Ryan goes out for revenge - but who can he trust? The beautiful Jade (Nickson)? The beautiful Detective Fong (Cheung)? Mike Ryan is going to have to go rogue and trust his own instincts and martial arts skill on his quest to find Victor Chow.Gary Daniels plays another likable dude and Tagawa another baddie in White Tiger, a film with not much going on in the plot department, but which contains great fights and is very fast paced. The story is credited to Bey Logan, the mastermind of the excellent Dragon Dynasty label of releases. So you know there's going to be quality fights and stunts. Funnily enough, the music that underpins it all is either this modern techno or 90's "grunge". While the movie does take place primarily in Seattle (although it was filmed in Vancouver, Canada), the band "Pull" should be ashamed. Graeme Coleman who did the electronic soundtrack was trying to bring the martial arts film into the 90's, but we feel he over-reached a bit.But the overall feel is that the filmmakers were trying to modernize the direct-to-video action film, with the aforementioned music, slick cinematography and a professionally-made vibe. Luckily, they didn't use these things as substitutes for the action goods, as is so common today. Gary Daniels always rocks and here is no exception. In his non-action scenes, he is his usual personable, charming self, and in the action department, he seems to be constantly pushing himself and trying new things. Check out some of his awesome takedowns for proof. While Tagawa and some of the others are good, White Tiger is a clear case of No Daniels = No Movie. He carries the film and makes it seem effortless.For an intellectually unchallenging but classier-than-usual DTV beat 'em up, White Tiger will fit the bill perfectly.For more insanity, please visit: comeuppancereviews.com
Estraven Gary got to choreograph his own fight scenes this time and the results are spectacular. Also because he has dependable genre stalwart Cary Hiroyaki-Tagawa, who just seems to get better as he gets older, as his enemy. The latter gives a chilling performance as a perverted drug king who, against the orders of the Triad elders, introduces a deadly designer drug to the market. The fight sequences between the two in the drug lord's house and on his ship are riveting. This is the best Gary Daniels movie I have seen (along with Gedo), with a solid plot, a great villain and, best of all, the opportunity for Gary to really strut his stuff. Hugely entertaining - a must-see.
