- An assassin is hired by a businessman to avenge the murder of his daughter by white slave traders in Thailand.
- In Bangkok, the assassin Curtie Church (<a href=">Djimon Hounsou) is hired by a businessman to kill six men. Job done, the employer proposes another contract to Curtie to kill the lord of the traffickers that had addicted, prostituted and murdered his daughter. Curtie seeks out the Englishman Jimmy that is an arm dealer and he rents heavy weapons. Then Curtie provokes a war between gangs to eliminate the greatest number of white slave traders. Meanwhile, the young prostitute Mae meets Church and helps him to release other girls. When Mae vanishes, Curtie seeks her out and finds the truth about Mae.
- An offbeat, but muddled and unsatisfying hit-man / revenge fare by film-maker Prachya Pinkaew (Ong-bak) in the mould of Liam Neeson's "Taken", but with a surreal spiritual take on things and a forced message (on human trafficking and child prostitution). The seedy narrative is an odd one, so are some of the performances with out-of-place Kevin Bacon using a strong cockney accent as a larger-than-life British arms dealer and Djimon Hounsou sleep-walking through it as the sleuth assassin. An American hired gun in Thailand takes on a job from a Thai businessman, whose daughter was abducted and murdered, but then finds himself caught up in an underworld war while also encountering a young prostitute (Jirantanin Pitakporntrakul) who he tries to help. At times there seems to be too much going on in the bombastic plot, but even with that factor it feels like its going through the motions. All dressed up, but no where to go but obviously something to say. Exotic Thailand locations add atmosphere, but the action while packing a brutal punch (the night time forest onslaught) and flashy imagery doesn't have much rhythm in its choreography and the talky nature often makes it meander. Fascinating in parts, but mainly an instinctively unfocused action thriller.<br/><br/>"Feels like I'm losing my mind."
- STAR RATING: ***** Saturday Night **** Friday Night *** Friday Morning ** Sunday Night * Monday Morning <br/><br/>Curtie Church (Djimon Hounsou) is a professional hit-man who's been assigned to track down the daughter of a Thai businessman who's got caught up with a group of white slave traders. When he finds she's been killed, it turns into a revenge assignment, for which he enlists the help of Jimmy 'The Brit' (Kevin Bacon, with a surprising and quite good English accent) with his cavalcade of weapons, as well as the unwanted assistance of Mae (Jirantinin Pitakporntrakul) a young girl he rescued from the villains. But as events roll on, he finds he can actually trust nobody.<br/><br/>Released straight to DVD under a cloud of hot air, Elephant White could well mark the downfall of selective Hollywood actor Kevin Bacon, whose Brit accent is the most impressive thing about this whole farrago, which should really say it all. It's certainly not his performance, or anyone elses, each matching the bland writing on offer. The film seems to be aiming at some kind of social conscience, highlighting the plight of teenage prostitution on the streets of Bangkok, but this is made to look as hollow as it is, in light of the apathetic, piecemeal story and inconsistent action, the main thing you're watching it for. Quite a mess. *
