Lotus

About This Movie

So, 'Lotus' is one of those films that flies under the radar but has a certain grit to it. It’s centered around this ex-special forces guy who gets caught up in this web of corruption with two detectives and a ruthless gang. The pacing is tight, with just enough action to keep you invested, though it's really the atmosphere that stands out, dark and almost claustrophobic. The practical effects are decent, giving it a rough-edged charm that feels authentic. Performances are solid too, especially in the way the protagonist navigates this twisted world. It’s not your polished Hollywood action flick, which makes it distinctive in its own right.

Lotus has had a bit of a checkered release history, with various formats popping up but none really making a splash. It’s not easy to come by on physical media, which has piqued collector interest over the years. You might find it in obscure listings or at genre-specific conventions, but it’s certainly not common. For those who appreciate the rawness of action cinema and the underdog stories, this one presents an intriguing find.
