ASSI – Nicolas Cage plays an assassin in the movie Bangkok Dangerous that is a remake of the Pang Brothers’ film with the same name debuted in 1999. Cage’s production company, Saturn Films purchased the remake rights and production began August 2006 in Bangkok. In the original film that Hit-Man is a deaf-mute but for marketability purposes the Pangs give Cage speaking parts and transform another character into the deaf-mute. The film “Bangkok Dangerous” will be available on DVD, January 2009. It is a fast paced film that captured and held my attention. The foreshadowing caused me to stay attentive. Cage is an unattached man, who is methodical and lives by four basic rules until he travels to Bangkok where he diverts from his usual order of business. “Bangkok Dangerous” was the number one movie when it was released on, September 5, 2008, but one of the lowest-grossing films to reach number one. As I see it, if you like questionable characters with a penchant for murder, you will like “Bangkok Dangerous” it is high energy film with enough excitement to hold your attention. I give “Bangkok Dangerous” 3.5 blinks.
AHSI......If you like movies that are full of riddles, puzzles and clues, then National Treasure: Book of Secrets is the perfect movie for you.
