When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

The hit man Joe (Nicolas Cage) is a professional killer with a peculiar code of honor and modus-operandi. He travels to Bangkok to kill four persons and he hires the smalltime hoodlum Kong (Shahkrit Yamnarm) to help him in his job. When he meets the deaf and dumb Fon (Charlie Young) in a pharmacy, he falls in love with her and breaks his code. Further, he teaches Kong how to become a hit man. But when Kong is abducted by Surat (Nirattisai Kaljaruek), who had hired Joe for the assignment in Bangkok, he is forced to betray Joe. But the hit man decides to rescue Kong in his last job."Bangkok Dangerous" is an action movie by Oxide Pang Chun and Danny Pang with the nihilist story of a professional killer. I bought this DVD a couple of years ago and only yesterday I decided to watch it.The cinematography and the camera work in the chaotic and exotic Bangkok is a chance for those like me that have not had the chance to visit Thailand yet to see the beauties of this city. Charlie Young is perfect in the role of a sweet woman capable to bring love to the heart of a cold blood killer. However, the conclusion is disappointing and inconsistent with the behavior of Joe. Nevertheless I recommend this movie to viewers that wish to see an average story in an environment unusual for Westerns. My vote is six.Title (Brazil): "Perigo em Bangkok" ("Danger in Bangkok")

Don't prejudge from other reviews! Very nice and well Executed film and nice plot. If you want good action and love story, this is it! I don't want to spoil anyone, you want assassin and love connection, little suspense, this is very good movie to watch. Nicolas gives well performance and all other casts do well. You don't see Blonde girls, but very nice Asian actress. If you are looking for Nudity, this is not it. I, for one, love to watch Nicolas's movie because there aren't too munnecessary stupid nudity like most of movies these days. This is WHAT DRAMA IS, WITH ACTION, WITHOUT NUDITY. Also, if you are Nicolas fans, it's a MUST SEE. Looking for top 10 global ward movie, go look at Benhur. This is action, drama,spicy, love, friendship. Enjoy everyone^^

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

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.
