Most of the movie wasn't terrible, but the end was terrible. It made no sense at all. It literally went from me liking it overall to really wishing I turned it off before the last 5 minutes.

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.

BANGKOK DANGEROUS.It was good, but not brilliant.There are 2 problem I have with this movie really... 1) I am not a huge fan of Nicolas Cage. All of his roles are the same. He can't change his character. But he has made some fantastic films. My favourite Nicolas Cage film is Face Off. 2) I don't know why all these films have to me remade. I love some Asian films yet a lot of them have been remade... and they are never better than the originals. Prime example is Ring... I love the Asian version, but I hated the American version. They murdered that movie.But, this remake was pretty good. It was entertaining and full of action. The action scenes were really well put together, and the hits Nicolas makes in the film were shot brilliantly.The film is about an assassin who has his own set of rules... all of a sudden he decides to break all his own rules in one go, while still doing the jobs.Nicolas Cage was OK in it, but like I said before, he didn't change anything from his last few roles... except his silly haircut in this. It really does not suit him. Haha!I have seen the original, but it was many years ago and don't remember too much about it. But I will watch it again soon so I can compare again.I like the supporting cast though. Shahkrit Yamnarm who plays Nicolas' sidekick was good and the leading ladies were convincing. Especially Charlie Yeung who plays Nicolas' love interest. I actually felt sorry for her.I give this movie a 7 out of 10.Good film, but i honestly think Nicolas Cage was not the best choice.For more of my movie reviews, please check out my Facebook page:http://www.facebook.com/pages/Ordinary-Person-Movie- Reviews/456572047728204?ref=hl

'Bangkok Dangerous' is Time-Pass! A fairly engaging crime-thriller, that packs in some superb moments & a winning performance by its protagonist, Academy-Award-Winner Nicolas Cage.'Bangkok Dangerous' Synopsis: 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' has some superb moments, that deserve a mention. The Love-Story, in particular, stands out, while the Action-Sequences are brutal & unforgiving. However, its biggest flaw lies in its culmination, which simply doesn't work! The Pang Brothers Screenplay works, but the culmination is very underwhelming. Their Direction, on the other-hand, is stylish. Cinematography is well-done. Editing & Art Design, are fair.Performance-Wise: As mentioned, Nic Cage delivers a winning performance. He plays the no non-sense Hit-Man to the hilt. Shahkrit Yamnarm is relegated to backseat, while Charlie Yeung does a fine job. Panward Hemmanee is earnest.On the whole, 'Bangkok Dangerous' is a good watch.
