If you love action flicks, but you’re getting tired of all this whiz bang, shaky camera stuff where you can’t tell what the heck is going on, Exiled may be the antidote you’re looking for. This makes any worthwhile action movie downloads list because the action isn’t so darned all over the place. Everything is clear and coherent, you can tell what’s going on. You rarely see action this… Graceful.

We follow a gangster who betrayed his boss years ago, and his since gotten married and had a baby. The boss sends a couple of hitmen to take him out, while at the same time, two other former members of the gang show up to protect him. This is where the movie begins.

These characters are all friends since their youth, and there’s a sense of warmth and sentimentality as the five characters come to a compromise and decide to honor friendship before duty. They decide to pull off a big score to help support the hero’s wife and child before settling their differences. The result is something much more personal than the usual “It’s Just Business” approach to violence in gangster movies.

The movie was directed by Johnnie To, the Hong Kong legend, who came out with his first films around the same time as John Woo and Ringo Lam were defining the Heroic Bloodshed genre of HK action flicks. Where those earlier films were defined by the anger at the Chinese takeover of the city, this one has a sense of forgiveness, compassion and understanding, having been made after the takeover.

The dreamlike quality to the film is really something. Shootouts take place in slow motion, with action that takes only thirty seconds being expanded to several minutes. One incredible scene begins with a character throwing a Red Bull can into the air, and climaxes just as the empty can hits the floor, with bullets flying and people dying over the course of an incredible slow motion bullet ballet.

The story isn’t always quite as clear as the action, but this actually helps to improve the dreamlike quality of the film. To himself has admitted that he finds the film confusing and still hasn’t quite made sense of it. Watch it for the characters and the action, though, and you’ll be able to appreciate the movie in full.

The Heroic Bloodshed genre was defined as being an angry, violent group of films, largely as a reaction to the Chinese takeover of Hong Kong. The heroes would take on hundreds of enemies at a time in a symbol of the Hong Kong independent spirit against that of communist China. So it’s interesting to see To taking the genre in a new direction. This film is defined by its themes of compassion and forgiveness, and there’s an odd gentleness to even the most gruesome violence in the film.

Exiled is a rare action film, and certainly one to see if you want something a little different than the usual shaky-cam shootout flick. It’s really a refreshing breath of fresh air if you’re sick and tired of not being able to tell who’s shooting who and how the heck that guy got on the roof. Definitely a change of pace.

It’s a wonderful form of entertainment and more accessible today than it ever has been since its glory days. DVD Online Rental If you are in radio, and you think you want to get into VO as a freelancer, don’t give up all hope just because of me. DVD’s are also lucrative for the film making industry, with the number of people who watch movies at home.
