At first glance this look like the run of the mill action movies. There's a lot of shoot outs, fighting, killing and general violence. The storyline isn't that complicated either. But that is not what make this movie interesting, yet repulsive. The movie takes place in Bangkok, in the red light district to be precise. The prostitution is controlled by mobster syndicates with no scruples and no mercy. Countless numbers of girls, which are mostly underage is forced into prostitution and drugged so the mobsters can control them. This makes them drug addicts and totally depended on their keepers, with no way to avoid the abuse. This aspect is portrait very close in the movie while it in the same time reflect the more religious and spiritual part of Thailand. Even the title "Elephant White" reflects to local religion and believe. So this makes the movie a bit hart gripping because it is not just another action movie.
