Bangkok Dangerous, 7 March 2009
Minor spoilers I guess, but nothing you won't have gathered from the trailer or the back of a DVD cover.
This started out surprisingly well despite Nicolas Cage looking even more bizarre than he has in perhaps any other film. At no point was it great, but certainly solid.
The script is brave enough to establish him as a genuinely cold-hearted assassin, the plot was interesting, the backdrop too. I also liked every one of the scenes with his sidekick. In particular the awkward romance with the deaf pharmacist was actually very sweet, honest and remarkably subtle for a film of this sort.
Perhaps the film should have stayed with that romance, because the hit inevitably goes wrong - hey, at least it wasn't his "one last job"! - and things descend immediately into dull shootouts until the final scene which I'm not sure I fully understood because my brain had died. A real pity, because it's only the last act that lets the film down. It could quite easily have been a handy genre piece.
