Bangkok Dangerous Reviews

When this movie was released, it was critically bashed but if you would compare it to the last movies starring Nicolas Cage, you might think that it wasn’t so bad after all which is rather sad. Still, even though the whole thing had a rather lame reputation, I thought I might as well give it a shot anyway. Eventually, I think it could have been actually a pretty cool movie and the whole thing definitely had some potential. Indeed, I really enjoyed the mood, it was really neat, and I always had a weak spot for such movies dealing with a hitman. Unfortunately, the whole thing was really poorly developed,  the end result was rather disappointing and it was pretty much just another  average action flick starring Nicolas Cage. I mean, something appeal about the original movie, also directed by the Pang brothers, was apparently (I haven’t seen it) the fact that the main character  was a deaf and mute hitman but, in this US remake, they dropped this aspect and instead, made his girlfriend to be deaf-mute. Anyway, to conclude, I think it’s too bad because this movie had some potential but, at the end of the day, it was actually pretty weak and I don’t it really worth a look after all.
