Bangkok Dangerous

 

 

                                                             

I wait over tens yours for a movie about assassins and two come a long at the same time.  The first movie was Wanted  and the second is Bangkok Dangerous.  The movie is about an assassin who is paid to do just that and he has four more jobs to do before he disappears into oblivion, never to be seen again.

The movie is directed by the Pang Brothers, who I have never heard of before but it is and interesting movie.   It stars Nicholas Cage as the emotionless killer.  They directed The Eye in 2002 apparently.

He gives this guy a job (Kong) to pick up and drop off what ever he needs, with the intention of killing him once the jobs are done.  It is in a similar vain to Collateral the movie that stars Tom Cruise.  His philosophy is never to get involved with anyone on the job and to have no emotional connects with anyone, in case they have to die, but he breaks his own rule.

 

He falls for this pretty little flower and starts to become more human.  His assistant shall we call him, tells Nicholas's character (Joe) about this man that is his next target and how he is a good man, just like him and a dilemma appears.  Should he carry out his mission or let him live?  You will have to watch the film to find out for yourself.

The movies is very good in my opinion and shows Nicholas Cage in a different light to the one we are used to seeing him in.  He is a ruthless killer, with no conscious at all.  He makes a really good bad guy and I would like to see him play this type of roll again.  He was brilliant in Lord of War and this movie does not lower the standard that he produced in that film.

The best way to describe this film is silly but, entertaining none the less.  If you have not seen this film, then I would say give it a try, it's not bad at all.
