Synopsis:
Thailand is a very hot place in more than one sense of the word. From
the sticky, balmy climate to the spicy hot noodles and curry. From
police crackdowns to the sweaty go-go bars of Pattaya. And last, but
certainly not least, are the smokin' hot and very elusive ladyboys that
troll the city streets at night!
This disk is certainly authentic, occasionally distractingly so, but it doesn't capture the strangness, the other-worldly quality of Bangkok nightlife the way #4 in the series does. Part of the appeal of the earlier film was the sense of being drawn in, which is largely absent here. The absence is powerful, and, as a result the scenes are not as compelling. The several fine moments don't create a coherent whole. I hope to find more of the magic in earlier disks in the series.
