Movie: Bangkok Dangerous

Starring Nicholas Cage and set in Thailand I really wonder what the heck is was doing with this movie. It had potential but really lost the plot. Cage’s character is an assassin for hire who has some jobs in Bangkok. He normally hires a local errand runner to do the drop offs, help with sourcing information and supplies then disposes of them when he is done. This time around things are different. He takes the errand boy on side as a protege and in between falls in love with a local Thai girl who is deaf. Directed by Chun and Pang they have remade the “Hong Kong” version for the Hollywood market. Sometimes good “Hong Kong” cinema just doesn’t cross over. 1.5 out of 5.
