This has the look of a cheap quickie foreign film, not unlike a Hong Kong action film.
Mar 23, 2010
Between all the dates and dinners, Bangkok almost ends up being as less thriller and more travelogue; by the hour mark, there are literally more gulps than gunshots.

While the film includes several exciting, creatively shot action scenes, the drama is otherwise so shopworn that the violent climax is a relief.
Dec 8, 2008
Top CriticA by-the-numbers retread that’s ill-conceived as an action vehicle for Cage.

Tediously monotonous.

[Cage is] funless, scowly, grim, and steroidally impervious to the fleshy and salacious good cheer that surrounds him.
Oct 18, 2008
The burnt out assassin shtick is old and tired.
Oct 18, 2008
The film isn't overtly heavy-handed in its violence, but it doesn't provoke enough surprises to keep the mind from drifting -- a poison pill for an action film.
Sep 27, 2008
A perfectly uninvolving tale of errors acknowledged and manhood proved.
Sep 17, 2008
It's garbage. Cage better be careful. If he keeps this up, he'll wind up just like Val Kilmer doing straight to DVD junk.
Sep 16, 2008
Nicolas Cage parece determinado a sabotar a própria carreira... e muitos outros atores já teriam, em seu lugar, sido rebaixados a produções lançadas diretamente em DVD
Sep 13, 2008
Not to be a contrarian, but as predictable as the movie is, its events often feel as if there were no alternative. The Pang brothers, besides being artisans of action and suspense, tell a good story -- or maybe I'm simply suffering from heat and Hurricane
Sep 12, 2008
Neutered, but pretty, and lacking any real development, this is the cinematic equivalent of a eunuch whose voice unfortunately broke pre-castration
Sep 11, 2008
Cage is believable as the brooding lone-wolf gunman, but the “hit man screwing himself by growing a conscience on his final kill” ploy needs to be put down for good.
