A Stranger in Paradise is a thriller film directed by Corrado Boccia.[2] The film had its world premiere on February 14, 2014 and stars Colin Egglesfield, Catalina Sandino Moreno, and Stuart Townsend.[3]

Plot

On the verge of making partner, Josh Pratt’s (Colin Egglesfield) life is turned upside down when the SEC investigates the head of his multi-billion dollar hedge fund for insider trading. Forced into a well-timed “vacation” he never asked for Josh finds himself in Bangkok with a price on his head, a morally ambiguous brother who is knee deep in the Thai mafia, and a propensity for getting shot at. Unfortunately for Josh, the only way out is to give up information he doesn’t know he has.

The streets of Bangkok come alive in this fast action packed thriller as Josh sorts out the gritty truth behind Wall Street money laundering only to end up in a tangled web of lies and deceits which overturn everything he thought he once knew and which might just get him killed.

Reception

Critical reception for A Stranger in Paradise has been predominantly negative.[4][5] The Los Angeles Times and The Dissolve both panned the movie,[6] and the Los Angeles Times wrote "Besides the pedestrian caricatures of gangsters and strippers, Boccia doesn't make much of the inherent mystery and alienation of the Thai setting as Nicolas Winding Refn did with "Only God Forgives." Even the twists late in the plot underwhelm."[7]
