It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

This is a decent action flick. It reminds me of one of those foreign action films with a by- the-book kind of plot and limited effects, and there is nothing wrong with that. The way people talk about this movie you except it to be as bad as one of those direct-to-video cash grabs Steven Seigel has been wisely been pumping out. But unlike those types of flicks, this has good pacing, good acting and well done action. This film isn't going to win any awards but it is a good time killer. It is a six out ten deal but I'm rounding up to seven just to help out the average.

A hit-man who's in Bangkok to pull off a series of jobs violates his personal code when he falls for a local woman and bonds with his errand boy. Bangkok Dangerous is not a masterpiece or anything but i still don't get the hate it had a really cool score, some gory sequences and the acting wasn't that bad to begin with this is probably one of Cage's last good films if you ask me i liked some of action sequences for example the one with the bike where he was chasing that guy was really cool or even the ending which is something that probably anyone could see it coming it still worked on it's own and that's why i'm gonna give it an 9/10

I had heard about this film during the time of its release, and I predicted because of the leading actor that it was going to be rated terribly by the critics, but I had no idea it was a remake of a Thai film, so I was going to chance it. Basically Joe (Nicolas Cage) is a professional American hit-man who has travelled to Bangkok for his latest assignments, he has been paid to assassinate four people during the month that he is staying, all of them he is killing for Bangkok gang lord Surat (Nirattisai Kaljaruek). To help him with his jobs he hires pickpocket Kong (Shahkrit Yamnarm) to do his errands, the hit-man gets his four target details from nightclub dancer Aom (Panward Hemmanee) with whom Kong becomes romantically involved with, and the young thief learns to follow his given instructions. To make sure he cannot be found Joe sticks to a set of rules for a hit-man to follow, and he kills his targets in crowded or lesser known places to avoid detection, including his first in a traffic jam and his second being drowned in a penthouse swimming pool. Away from his work he visits a pharmacy and becomes fascinated with the deaf pharmacist assistant Fon (Charlie Yeung), which name means "rain", and over the weeks he takes her out for dinner and other dates, he falls madly in love with her, but she has no idea of his name, nationality or profession. The relationship is cut short when she witnesses him kill two assailants in cold blood, but Joe must continue to his third kill, and Kong joins him, but it does not go to plan when it turns into a chase, but he catches up to the target and kills him in front of witnesses. Joe's fourth and final target is a good man, the Prime Minister of Thailand, so he has decide between his morals and following orders to avoid being killed, he eventually goes against instructions and becomes the target of the gang members, but they are taken out with explosives. Joe must save Kong and Aom from the headquarters of the gang, he kills most of the members, and he knows the only way to stop the brutality is to kill the man who hired him, so he briefly returns to Fon to show his affection from a distance, then with one bullet left he takes Surat and fires through both his and the gang lord's head. Also starring Dom Hetrakul as Aran and James With as Chicago. Cage is a suitable choice playing the moody and skilled assassin, admittedly with an odd Ken Dodd hairstyle, and Yamnarm is funny as the inquisitive but loyal errand boy, the target killing is good, the love story between the killer and the deaf girl is just about interesting, and the sights oh Thailand are nice, it is a bit slow occasionally, lacks some originality and overdoes things a little, but it is slick and cool enough to keep you watching, an alright action thriller. Okay!

The cover doesn't tell the entire story. Just as the olde saying you can't judge a book by its cover comes into play, thus the same addage plays with this movie. It was more a romance mixed with a action, though not much action...it was all killing, a few kills here and there..not like the hit-man movie.... totally not worth watching..enough said..Nicholas Cage's worst movie I've seen. It said he produced part of it, however. I am going to go back and watch the other one, the original movie, and compare it to this. I guarantee the older one is better. I love action movies, and during this one, I was bored in parts. The only part that snagged me was when he fell in love with that girl. I for one did not think the plot tied together well. I see why they didn't receive the cashflow coming back that they put into the movie. So sad wasting money to make this movie. They could've used the money to charity or something like that.
