Paris

Ill watch Bai Ling in anything which is explaining why I have seen a lot of strange things mostly off of the internet. But this was an actual movie and I really enjoyed it because of it. Chad Allen is also great but, I GUESS WE ALREAD KNEW THAT!! By "we" I mean it is the girls know it!~! But now the boys can too. Although I am a guy. Also Chad and Ling have such good chemistry which is great but also very sexual. Also this movie was so good because they are both in it at the same time. Not apart like before!!! You will loove this movie especially, if you love Paris--which I do of course. And not that Paris Hilton! Yuch! The city.

Paris is an intriguing take on what film noir looks like with contemporary production technology and a contemporary storyline. In the process, the film presents the important and neglected problem of forced Asian prostitution. The acting is very good.including Karen Black! I recommend it.

Paris is a beautiful contemporary film noir.

The photography is excellent and shows how great DV can look. The film offers an impressive combination of unique visual motifs with an intriguing plot. The romantic story is highlighted by Bai Ling's captivating acting. Her beauty stands out and she shows a wide emotional range. Considering she is still at the beginning of a great career!

Also, Karen Black adds some extra sparks to the story.

Overall, the filmmakers created a wonderful enjoyable film, I would highly recommend it!

I recently watched Paris (2003) on Tubi. The storyline follows a police officer who finds himself in a difficult situation at a crime scene, accidentally killing his partner and stealing money before going on the run. Along the way, he encounters a woman involved in the sex trade whom he believes he's saved, but she harbors plans to dismantle the industry. As their relationship develops, complications arise.

Directed by Ramin Niami (Eye without a Face), the film stars Chad Allen (Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman), Bai Ling (The Crow), Ron Jeremy (The Boondock Saints), and James Russo (Django).

Unfortunately, Paris falls short on nearly every front, clearly reflecting its low-budget independent production. While the premise had potential, the execution falters, with lackluster settings, dialogue, and even the pivotal sex scene falls short. Bai Ling delivers a stunning performance, adding a spark of interest, but it's not enough to salvage the film. Even the purported "clever twist" at the end fails to impress.

In conclusion, Paris offers little of value to viewers. I would rate it a 3/10 and recommend skipping it altogether.

Paris is a very ordinary corrupt-cops-in-the-underworld movie, just laden with cliches, and its struggle to rise above them isn't very successful. There's not much originality in either the script or direction; from the cop who drives a sixties-vintage car to the address he wants written down on a barroom

matchbook, we've seen all of it before.

The movie looks good, and some of the performances are strong. Chad Allen

does show some chops, and an ability to hold the camera's attention, even if his range here is limited. Some of the blame for that has to lie with the script and the unconvincing situations it puts him in. And maybe he's better off not trying to play a character's depth when there is none given him to play. Bai Ling also

acquits herself credibly and as someone else noted here, there is some screen chemistry between the two stars.

But after all that, I'm still left with one question; how does a guy get shot in the back, from the side?
