Geez another one???
5 June 2008 | by (Tokyo, Japan) – See all my reviews

A shoddy attempt to capitalize on Herr Olson's double opus. (That's Shocking Asia 1 and 2 gang.) This is nothing but a series of scenes trying to show people in the ravages of poverty and disease. And each vignette tries to outdo the last.

Because it's in Asia however, the yobbos that released this piece of tripe tried to connect it with the former two shock-docs. They should be drawn and slapped for it.

If you are one of the poor souls that get a thrill out of human suffering, this is you flick. I wasn't. There was no rhyme or reason for this.

Pass.
