Film Thailand Bank

[Jacquelyne Betance]

Ifyou're reading this review of the Steven Seagal vehicle "The Asian Connection," it is probably too late to dissuade you from seeing almost any other movie. I get it: you want to see a movie with a vaguely racist-sounding title starring the has-been star of cheesy action films like "Hard to Kill," "Marked for Death," and "Above the Law." These films are bad, but in an endearingly disastrous way. The same is basically true of "The Asian Connection," a lousy bank heist flick and one of Seagal's most engagingly tacky recent efforts. I want to defend this movie, but it's so bad that I must warn you: if you watch this film knowing that it is Steven-Seagal-wearing-a-du-rag-and-glowering-impassively-at-attractive-young-women bad, you will get what you pay for. That's both an endorsement and a warning.

Jack is, to put it mildly, boring. He's so generic that sketch-thin supporting characters like hothead partner Sam (Byron Gibson) and pseudo-empowered love interest Avalon (Pim Pubear) make Jack look less interesting. Seriously, all Jack does is rob banks, flirt with Avalon, glower at Sam, and pout angrily at Niran. This is a guy that says stuff like "Guess all those video games finally paid off" after a successful heist. Sam may be the token loser best friend, and he may say things like "I'm all about the money, baby!" And Avalon's naivet may speak volumes about her creators' sexist assumptions about women, particularly her obsession with fairy tale logic ("Everything was getting too real. The fairy tale started to crack apart"). But at least they're not Jack, a guy whose most distinguishing characteristic is his friendship with weapons dealer Greedy Greg (Michael Jai White?!). Jack calls his mercernary friend "Greedy" over and over, and yet somehow does not die due to severe beatings. Jack leads a charmed life, but that does not make him interesting.

I mean, look: the makers of "The Asian Connection" made a lot of mistakes. Most of the actors' line-readings are so flat, so poorly recorded, and so fast that you have to wonder if the director was trying to break a record for how fast he could wrap principal photography. And the action scenes are so poorly shot that it's impossible to tell who's shooting who and where, like the times where Seagal sticks a gun out of a truck window and fires wildly ... somewhere ahead of him. And Lee ... well, there's no nice way to say this, but he runs funny. His arms pinwheel like he's signalling for a turn that his body simply isn't prepared for.

You spend this much time stuck with Jack, and you may ask yourself: where did Steven Seagal go? Sirankiri is not exactly Kurtz waiting up-river for Jack to come to the dark side. But he's mysterious enough to make you want to spend more time with him. For example: Seagal gracelessly drops several "f" bombs, particularly "motherfucker," with the grace of a hippopotamus ballerina. And he's constantly surrounded by young Asian women, but he never shows any sign of pleasure or approval. In fact, Seagal's idea of an expression-less stone-face is more like a constipated glare; maybe he hates women, who can tell? And what the heck is Seagal talking about when he says that fish are the "most important sentient being?" And when he angrily flips over a table with food, why does it look like the table is inflated with helium? Who is this guy, and why can't "The Asian Connection" be about him? There are no good answers to that burning question, but one thing is certain: "The Asian Connection" is the best kind of bad movie, the kind that makes you wonder about its glaring inadequacies, like a puzzle that must be solved. Don't say I didn't warn you.

In a bank that forbids fraternization lest one person in the couple be forced out, Sua (Chantavit Dhanasevi) and Jib (Preechaya Pongthananikorn), two career-bound overachievers, have nevertheless been discreetly dating for 5 years. Frustrated with having to keep their relationship hidden, Sua and Jib decide to get married. However, neither are willing to resign from their jobs.

One day, a software error in one of the bank's ATMs in Chonburi causes it to malfunction, causing it to double the money it dispenses. Through two poor men, Pued (Thawat Pornrattanaprasert) and Paed (Chalermpol Tikumporntheerawong), word spreads quickly and the ATM draws a large crowd of ecstatic football spectators. 130,000 is withdrawn before the machine is shut down.

Jib and Sua make a bet that whoever recovers the money withdrawn from the ATM can remain employed, while the other must resign. Both go to extreme lengths to win. Jib tries to recover the money from the ones that withdrew through reasoning, while Sua uses more unorthodox strategies.

Pued used his ATM withdrawal to buy a motorcycle, while Paed used it to buy a golden tooth as well as a truck. Sua soon teams up with them in his attempt to recover the withdrawn money, unaware that they are two of the people who received double cash from the faulty ATM. Meanwhile, Jib finds that one of the people who benefited from the ATM, Madam Aummara (Puttachart Pongsuchart), had used the money to buy new machines for her laundry shop. Madam Aummara refuses to tell Jib anything. Later Sua meets Aummara's daughter, Gob (Sananthachat Thanapatpisal), who soon falls in love with him. Sua is unaware that she is actually Pued's girlfriend, and Pued is heartbroken when he learns of Gob's new infatuation.

Both Sua and Jib learn that Pued and Paed were two of the people that withdrew cash from the malfunctioning ATM, and convince them to confess. They also discover that the branch manager Pakorn Kulariboriboon (Pongkool Suebsung) had also withdrawn from the ATM, and force him to confess as well.

Sua learns that one of the people who withdrew from the ATM is Sergeant Sam (Anna Chuancheun), the same police officer who confronted him when his company car was towed, and also the owner of a crocodile that had previously chased Sua from a farm. After Sua buys a police costume and fake guns to attack Sam, he is jailed for posing as a policeman.

After his release from jail, Sua warns Jib about Sergeant Sam, but Jib assumes that Sua is tricking her. Sua then rides Paed's truck with Pued, Aummara, and Gob (who finds out that he is a relationship with Jib) to save Jib, who has been cornered by the crocodile and Sam. The ensuing fight leads to the accidental shooting of Jack, the crocodile. Jack is rushed to the hospital. When they find news of the atrocious medical expenses for Jack's recovery, Jib decides to pay for them. Pued and Gob reconcile also.

Because Pued, Paed, Aummara, Gob, and Sam have both used the money that they've withdrawn, Sua and Jib realize they cannot recover the money. Later, Sua returns 130,000 of his own money to the bank manager, money intended for his marriage with Jib. Jib, who has had to resign her job due to her relationship being discovered by Yeoh (Gornpop Janjaroen), is displeased by this, so she and Sua break off the relationship and cancel the wedding. Then on October 31, Halloween, the date they were supposed to get married, Sua and Jib, after a brief skirmish, reconcile and kiss in the end.

Within four weeks of the film's release, ATM: Er Rak Error had grossed over 150 million, making it Thailand's seventh top-grossing film at the time[1] and GTH's highest grossing film until it was surpassed in 2013 by Pee Mak.

When converting local royalty earnings to a different currency for an EFT payment, the amount to be paid after conversion must meet the minimum amount your indicated bank will allow us to send. This amount varies by institution and location. However, once the minimum amount is reached, you will be paid electronically for the full amount accrued.

We currently can't support electronic payments through intermediary accounts. Some banks outside of the United States might require an intermediary account for money transfers. An intermediary bank is a third-party bank used by the beneficiary bank to facilitate international transfer and settlement of funds. A common sign that you're using an intermediary account is when all customers of a bank use the same IBAN. Your bank can advise if your bank details are for an intermediary account. If your account is using an intermediary account, please use a non-intermediary bank account for direct deposit.

Do you remember where seasons 1 and 2 were filmed? This was mainly in the Royal Mint in Madrid. The building is not a real bank. This building is used by the CSIC, the Spanish National Research Council, the largest scientific research institute in Europe. You may not enter the building, but it is still nice to walk by to see where the series has been shot.
