The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

A hit-man who's in Bangkok to pull off a series of jobs violates his personal code when he falls for a local woman and bonds with his errand boy. Bangkok Dangerous is not a masterpiece or anything but i still don't get the hate it had a really cool score, some gory sequences and the acting wasn't that bad to begin with this is probably one of Cage's last good films if you ask me i liked some of action sequences for example the one with the bike where he was chasing that guy was really cool or even the ending which is something that probably anyone could see it coming it still worked on it's own and that's why i'm gonna give it an 9/10

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")

Nothing about this movie rings true. The average American's dream of putting wrongs right in Asia, even if he is a cold-blooded killer of anyone and anything. Poor Thai girl, with uncommonly bleach white skin, falls in love with said sociopath; works in a pharmacy, but lives in a home that would require that you own Boots to buy or rent. A Thai shop where goods have no English printed on the products; when was this movie set, 1890? Let's visit the cave temple at Petchaburi, only three hours drive from Bangkok. The linoleum covering the floor there is particularly mystical. Hugely corrupt, the laws in Thailand depend entirely on how much money you have, the more money, the less laws. "The people love him," Err, no, no they don't... They love their king. Yeah, that deaf, dumb and Thai kid, she sure plays a mean farang's balls...Yawn...

'Bangkok Dangerous' is Time-Pass! A fairly engaging crime-thriller, that packs in some superb moments & a winning performance by its protagonist, Academy-Award-Winner Nicolas Cage.'Bangkok Dangerous' Synopsis: A hit-man who's in Bangkok to pull off a series of jobs violates his personal code when he falls for a local woman and bonds with his errand boy.'Bangkok Dangerous' has some superb moments, that deserve a mention. The Love-Story, in particular, stands out, while the Action-Sequences are brutal & unforgiving. However, its biggest flaw lies in its culmination, which simply doesn't work! The Pang Brothers Screenplay works, but the culmination is very underwhelming. Their Direction, on the other-hand, is stylish. Cinematography is well-done. Editing & Art Design, are fair.Performance-Wise: As mentioned, Nic Cage delivers a winning performance. He plays the no non-sense Hit-Man to the hilt. Shahkrit Yamnarm is relegated to backseat, while Charlie Yeung does a fine job. Panward Hemmanee is earnest.On the whole, 'Bangkok Dangerous' is a good watch.
