Bangkok Dangerous

i went to watch this movie last night because I had a bad hangover and just needed to sit in front of stupidity on a screen. Usually, Nic Cage action flicks are cheesy but have some sort of entertainment value as he can act it up when he chooses to. I couldn't believe my eyes and ears in almost every scene. Even some local chavs behind me were laughing in disbelief. The montage scenes where he is taking the deaf and dumb girl out to dinner and stroking elephants were among the worst I've ever seen. Also, his smile is disturbing. Nic, what the hell's going on brother? Also, the Pang brothers were an edgy asset to film-making. I'm surprised that between them and Cage, they did not sit forward in the editing suite and say 'we can't release this crap!'

Is it my imagination or has Nicholas Cage been involved in a lot of B-type films the past decade? I pretty much enjoyed this movie, don't get me wrong - but it's still not what you'd call a classy movie, not the kind of film he'd be involved with years ago. Now, he seems to prefer playing total wackos in stories that don't have a lot of credibility. Here, he's a Joe The Hit-man in Thailand, who falls for Miss Wholesome, and then turns "Rambo" by killing 50 people while en route to saving his protégé. The only thing not a cliché was the ending; that was a bit of a shocker. Shahkrit Yamnarm costars as "Kong," a man who becomes "Joe's" student. He's the one Joe saves. Charlie Yeung, a winsome Hong Kong actress who is almost 35 years of age but could pass for 21, plays Joe's love interest. Get this: she's a pharmacist, beautiful and wholesome as they come, and a deaf-mute! Yet, sleazy Joe sweeps her off her feet in no time! Man, you have to really enjoy the stylish visuals and sound (which ARE very good), the pretty good.....and leave it at that, to enjoy this movie. It's better to just watch it with your brain on hold and enjoy it, because if you start thinking about it, the film gets dumb and dumber.

Watched the movie today, and found very interesting, but when the movie reaches to end, I saw CAGE committed suicide by shooting himself, he could kill the bad guy by shooting him instead of shooting himself with him, this is not a perfect end of this movie, I felt very sad, it is unbelievable and poor for me, I watched lots of Hollywood movie, but never saw such thing in any movie, in most movies bad guy got killed or arrested, I never saw any movie in which main character committed suicide, in movie "I AM LEGEND" will smith kill himself, but their was a need for this, if he didn't killed himself, he would not save the antidote and the lady, The movie is good, you should watch first, then post your reviews, Thank you for reading.

I liked the narration in the beginning and some training and cocky scenes... I even liked Cage's hair but the story was no completed as it should be and that love story is gone... It is not a surprise as performance or scenario... Just a movie to have fun.

I Like Nicholas Cage, a lot of the movie that he has done have been terrific, but this movie stinks. First big problem is that is seems like Grosse Pointe Blank remake. While he's in town to kill someone, he falls in love. It had it's good points, the few action scenes were well done, however, there was a weak story, and the supporting actors were less then stellar. The story wasn't very gripping, although the love story was probably the most entertaining part of the whole movie, and I prefer the action type movies. Overall not worth watching. 2 out of 10

Minor spoilers I guess, but nothing you won't have gathered from the trailer or the back of a DVD cover. This started out surprisingly well despite Nicolas Cage looking even more bizarre than he has in perhaps any other film. At no point was it great, but certainly solid. The script is brave enough to establish him as a genuinely cold-hearted assassin, the plot was interesting, the backdrop too. I also liked every one of the scenes with his sidekick. In particular the awkward romance with the deaf pharmacist was actually very sweet, honest and remarkably subtle for a film of this sort. Perhaps the film should have stayed with that romance, because the hit inevitably goes wrong - hey, at least it wasn't his "one last job"! - and things descend immediately into dull shootouts until the final scene which I'm not sure I fully understood because my brain had died. A real pity, because it's only the last act that lets the film down. It could quite easily have been a handy genre piece.

I don't even know how to explain it other than it is really really bad. Boring and long. Super bad acting. The only woman in the entire movie doesn't speak. An Elephant. This movie was so bad that I couldn't watch another movie for a few weeks. Stay way.

When I bought this movie I had my bar set to around the 5 or 6 score level. So it was basically an easy watch not expecting too much. Was I wrong. I expected something completely different, and was actually wondering how the movie would end. I actually wanted to watch to the end, and that surprised me since I was not expecting much from this movie. I think this movie is underrated according to the IMDb scores... This movie is not quite as wrenching as Blood Diamond or the other Middle East movie from Leonardo DiCaprio, but it moves quite a bit in that direction.
