Synopsis

After their hit THE EYE was remade by others, this time the Pang Brothers take the wheel as they revisit their first film together. In BANGKOK DANGEROUS, Nicolas Cage (NATIONAL TREASURE, LORD OF WAR) stars as Joe, a hit man who goes to Thailand on a mission. The beauty of both the city and one of its residents distracts Joe, and he begins to take a young man under his wing, but his boss won't let the original goal be forgotten.

4.0 out of 5 stars Bangkok humbles a hit man, 16 Dec 2008

By	Amanda Richards "Hotpurplekoolaid" (ECD, Guyana) - See all my reviews (TOP 50 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

Short Attention Span Summary (SASS):

1. Nicolas Cage plays a hit man named Joe
2. Poor Joe - he has to go through the whole movie with Cage's bad hairstyle
3. Joe has rules that make him the best in the hit man business
4. People depend on Joe to do his job, get paid, and disappear.
5. We often wish that 4. above would apply to Cage also
6. Joe heads to Bangkok for a four-hitter for a man named Surat.
7. One night in Bangkok makes a hard man humble as he decides to break his own rules
8. Some rules aren't meant to be broken
9. Best ending for Cage in recent times.

This movie is about a hit man with an extremely high achievement rating. He owes his success to his personal set of rules, which don't allow for friends, relationships, loose ends or sticking around in the business for too long.

For some inexplicable reason, Joe decides to deviate from the rules while on duty in Bangkok, and finds himself in all sorts of trouble.

Cage does a pretty good job as the heroin-using, dour hit man, once you can get past what appears to be a dead animal splayed out on his head and down his neck. The real star however is the scene stealing Shahkrit Yamnarm as his disposable sidekick Kong.

Action wise the movie is okay, except for the scenes shot in blue and red lighting where you can't really see what's going on. The romantic parts are sweet at first, but the sight of Cage doing goo-goo eyes may be upsetting to some viewers. The plot requires as little thought as possible, as it doesn't really make much sense.

Recommended for fans of action-crime movies, and people with a morbid fascination for Cage's hairstyles.

Rated: 3.5 stars

1.0 out of 5 stars don't make me laugh, 14 Dec 2008

By	2cleverbyhalf (somewhere in the future) - See all my reviews

Mr Cage is going seriously loopy. The National Treasure stuff was daft but kinda enjoyable because they know it's daft and we know it's daft and nobody should take it seriously. This, on the other hand, is utter rubbish. I know it's a stylistic excercise. I know it's part of a tradition of SE Asian films. But.. oh dear.... it's woeful.

It's the story of a lonely hitman who only wants to connect with the rest of humanity. Despite his ability to slaughter anyone for money, he finally finds solace in the doe like eyes of a deaf and dumb sales assistance from the local chemists ('NO.. I WANT SOMETHING TO TAKE AWAY THE PAIN') and the cocky street ruffian with a heart of gold. When a hit on a 'good guy' politician becomes one moral step too far he decides to seek retribution on the bad guys who set it all up (having already wacked 3 of their previous targets).

If that doesn't put you off, then the lingering, pseudo-what-is-life-all-about guff and the year long shots of the deep, disturbed but 'finally realising the truth about life' eyes of Mr Cage should finally make you scream for mercy.

Second worse film of the year.

1.0 out of 5 stars Slower than a dim witted goat., 31 Mar 2009

By	genejoke "Mmmm Shiny" (uk) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

I had intended to see this at the cinema when it came out, I am glad I missed it. Promoted as an action film I expected some action, there is very little, nor is there ever much tension. The story focuses on Nic Cages assassin falling in love with a deaf girl, which would be fine if it was all handled well. Sadly the romance is clumsy and unconvincing and you never really beleive in Cage as a hitman either. Ultimate the film fails to get the audience to suspend disbelief. Shame.

Like most SE Asian action flicks that get given the Hollywood remake treatment, this fails in comparison to the original. Read more
