Review of Java Heat (2013) by Kevin R — 04 Dec 2015

Turn them into hooker royalty.

A Muslim and American detective collaborates to try and bring down a terrorist drug lord in the Indonesia city of Java. The American quickly becomes to scapegoat for many of the terrorist's acts complicating their efforts and the Indonesian detective's ability to trust him. Can the two work together and track down the terrorist kingpin?

"You know you can trust me.".

"Yeah, that's why you're sitting in the back.".

Conor Allyn, director of Hearts of Freedom, Zoe Gone, Pocket Listing, and Hyper 5, delivers Java Heat. The storyline for this picture is very mediocre and cliché with an excellent villain. The script is mediocre and the action is fairly good. The cast delivers below average performances and really only has Mickey Rourke worth noting.

"Like a bull in a China shop.".

"Why would a bull buy dishes?".

This was recently added to Netflix so I added it to the queue as a fan of Mickey Rourke. This was a very blah action film with little going for it. Rourke had some good moments, but not enough to make this worth watching. I'd skip this, even if you're a fan of action pictures.

"You get in bed with a snake don't be surprised when you are bitten".

Grade: F.
