Seen on: August 5, 2008
The players: Directors: Oxide Pang, Danny Pang, Writer: Jason Richman, Cast: Nicolas Cage, Shaun Delaney, Steve Baldocchi, Charlie Yeung, Shahkrit Yamnarm
Facts of interest: Remake of the Pangs' 1999 flick of the same title.
The plot: A hit man gets into trouble after he travels to Bangkok and falls in love with a local.
Our quick thoughts: “Bangkok Dangerous” may not be as disastrous as I expected, but it sure is the perfect example of what happens to a remake going through the big, predictable Hollywood machine. In short, this means you’re in for an unsurprising action flick with a monotonous plot, insufficient suspense and only a few entertaining sequences.
