Nicholas Cage plays the part of a dark, cold blooded assassin better than I expected. Slowly, he starts to find what is missing from his life, compassion. But his fate won't have it working out that way. The ending is the lowest point in the movie, making no sense and deviating the film into a convenient and politically correct ending.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Another Hollywood Movie--With a Difference

This movie started as a typical Hollywood action movie, but it started to change about 1/3 through. It reminded me more of one of the Asian (Chinese or Korean) action movies where more character depth--mostly around the main character ,not to him--was emphasized. The view of Thailand was a bit one-sided--until the love interest was introduced. Once the main character began to see the humanity in others close to him, his picture of reality changed. He started to see that what he did impacted others--usually in a negative way. I believe that is what truly changed the main character and may have brought about his undoing in the end.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

You will forget all the bullets fired and the explosions when Nick Cage kills himself and the bad guy. Written very poorly....and Cage plays an assisin that I marvel lived as long. He never seems in control of himself or his mission. He falls short of Jason Bourne by far. Having him apprentice a killer reminded me of the Karate Kid...didn't fit. It will be out on DVD soon. If you like Cage, go see it. But if you don't go...you won't miss much.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

I enjoyed most of the movie until the end. A different role and a different look for Nicholas Cage, which was good for him as an actor. It made no sense that a hardened assassasin would suddently trust and take in a student with no prior relationship. It also made no sense that he would shoot two pickpockets in the presence of the girl when it could have been a butt kicking scene instead. And the ending was ridiculous and sorely disappointing. Wait for the video...maybe.
No, I do not recommend this movie.

Overall, decent story line and action. It just wasn't what I anticipated as far as the character Nicholas Cage played, there wasn't any personality in his character at all. And the plot itself was very cut and dry-strightforward and predictable. The ending was very dissapointing too.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

The best thing about this movie was the popcorn!
Don't get me wrong, I've enjoyed other Nicholas Cage movies... but truth be told, Nicholas Cage cannot act and the action was just ok.
If you are a hard core fan of Nicholas Cage you'll forgive anything and enjoy the movie. Otherwise, wait until you can rent it from Netflix
No, I do not recommend this movie.

I am sorry to hear that this movie got so many bad reviews, but I thought Nicolas Cage did an outstanding job of both playing hero and villan at the same time. There were a few parts of the movie that didn't really work (I'd give it a 3& half star rating if I could) but overall the good far outweighed the bad and the cinematography / production was quite respectable.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Excellent Film! Nicolas Cage really made this character completely believable. He had that bad boy hardness coupled with an underlying sadness, loneliness and vulnerability that makes women want to fold him in their arms and keep the shadows at bay. All the characters were great! The action was enough to keep things exciting without being overdone. Go see it!
Yes, I recommend this movie.

I love Nicholas Cage, but I thought this was probably the worst movie he's ever done, plus I didn't like all the nudity and cursing. It really cheapens the film. Perhaps if some of the trash had been left out it would have at least rated 2 stars.
No, I do not recommend this movie.

The action was great, realistic and not over the top with crazy stunts that make it unbelievable. The love story was natural and left unexplained and to the imagination. The ending was powerful and took a lot of chances not playing into the lame endings that many successful movies do - often worrying about what the masses will think and catering to focus groups. Kudos to the Pang Brothers!
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Have you seen Bangkok Dangerous yet? I saw it this weekend and really enjoyed it! Nicolas Cage once again proves himself as an action star that you can feel for. The story is intense with a beautiful blend of violence and romance. The people and environment of Thailand really take this film to another level. Murder, love, and friendship all come together in The Pang Brothers excellent remake of their own movie from 1999. This ones got style!
Yes, I recommend this movie.

I really loved this movie. Don't know much about The Pang Brothers, but, they have an economical directing style that I truly appreciated and the script is not cluttered with alot of stupid "action" dialogue. The story is not unique, but this version of it is. See it on the big screen.

This was the old Hitman at the end of his carreer finally breaks his own rules and tries to turn good. You defiinately could see the Honk Kong style influance. The action was very gun heavy with only a little martial arts mixed in. And once again, just like Yoko Ono, women always screw up a good team. The end was disappionting. The female eye candy was good, but the romance kind of got in the way of a potentially good action movie.
No, I do not recommend this movie.

I would have waited for this to come on Cable. The movie started off well but ended up being a poor version of Assassins. The movie left you asking what happened to the deaf girl? What happened to Kong and his girlfriend? What happened to the money Nick was saving up and most of all, what happened to the hour plus time I spent watching this movie? The Coan brothers should have left this one in the oven a lot longer. This is definately not the greatest action movie of Summer 2008.
