I am an American born Vietnamese, who's parents immigrated to the California in the late 70s, so the Vietnamese language for me came through household dialog and Vietnamese dubbed TVB series. I am so amazed by the vibrant a colorful dialogue of the dark underground society and open market. My family and their circle of family friends do not talk in such slang filled cynicism - it was awesome. It was so real and flavorful.

I grew up with the Hong Kong Young and Dangerous movies as my glimpse into Asian triads, and this by far trumps the HK movies. I felt so proud in a kinship kind of way. Thank you for the colorful dialog, whoever did the script.

That aside, the fight scenes were amazing. Two thumbs up and big toes too, to Kefi Abrikh for choreographing those (if he did them, that's what IMDB said was his role). Ngo Van did amazing on executing those fight scenes as. She was so cool.

That little girl was extremely cute and executed her impressive, spunky, yet still respectible lines very well.

I have so much more respect for the Vietnamese film industry after this movie.

I won't spoil nothing that Netflix summary wouldn't already give away.

I thought the concept of a public Agency meddling in our affairs and overstepping boundaries in this word was kinda original and interesting, but it could've been better executed maybe. I mean..dude. Gattaca..now that was blockbuster ya know. rating ppl based on their DNA (valids and invalids)

I did see a lot of familiar faces. I don't even know what or who "WF" is, as one altruistic industry reviewer refers to, but even I noticed some biased casting here. Don't we hear so much gripe about Hollywood being bias and stuff, this is blatantly bias.

The couples had no Chemistry shown. moments, were just bleh and awkward looking. -- high school play? Ben was believable... he seemed into her (i almost thought he was Leonardo Nam from the Perfect score all grown up but hmm...IMDb proved me wrong).

I watched it to the very end, so it was OK.

whoever said that "Do knot disturb" is the original and "better" is most likely not the type of reviewer i want to follow, since Netflix reviewers gave DKD 2.5 stars and IMDb reviewers gave it 3.3 stars, much lower that this Movie, and both spots said that DKD was a knock off of the French Moview "The Valet" - 2006 - (La doublure).

In order of interest i would watch The Valet, then possibly "what to expect..." only for the cast, and DKD last -- maybe not ever since a lot of reviewers of DKD said the acting was horrible and is one of the worst movies to come out of the 2 directors of DKD -- i would rather not wast 2 hours of my life on that, I might waste 2 hours on What to expect when expecting since that was my go to book while pregnant, and definitely want to watch The Valet.
