Opening This Weekend: Bangkok Dangerous

There's only one major studio movie opening this weekend. And we could easily debate just how "major" it is.....

Here's a closer look...

Bangkok Dangerous
Stars: Nicolas Cage
Quick synopsis: An assassin has one more mission to take care of before retirement.
Prediction: Nicolas Cage hasn't made a good movie in years, and we doubt a recycled plot about a killer with morals will do the job now.

Reel Movie Reviews: Bangkok Dangerous

Somehow, the 1995 movie Leaving Las Vegas produced an Academy Award win for Nicolas Cage and a nomination for Elizbaeth Shue. Neither star has come close to replicating that success in the 13 years since.

Now, each is starring in a new movie. Shue is actually receiving rave reviews for her part in Hamlet 2, but we can't say the same for Cage.

His one-note performance in Bangkok Dangerous isn't enough to overcome a tiresome story about a retiring assassin. We've seen it all before: the killer with a conscience, the chase sequences through the streets of a dimly-lit city, Cage's monotone.

Those are just a few of the reasons why our Bangkok Dangerous review is less than stellar. Check it out in full now.

The Bangkok Dangerous Movie Trailer

In case Wanted doesn't feel your need for hit men this summer, there's always Bangkok Dangerous.

The film stars Nicolas Cage as an assassin and is a remake of a 1999 Thai movie by the same name. Here's the trailer:

Bangkok Dangerous comes out on August 22.

The upcoming Nicolas Cage remake of the 1999 Pang Brothers' popular Bangkok Dangerous just got its first teaser poster released to Comingsoon.net.

The remake is coming out August 22 and stars Nicolas Cage and is still directed by the Pang Brothers.

Bangkok Dangerous is about a hitman named Joe who goes to Bangkok to execute four enemies of a crime boss.  In the remake Joe picks up a pickpocket as his errand boy and is no long deaf-mute as he was in the original.  Instead his girlfriend is.  Works for us.
