Bangkok Dangerous Details

[Highly rated reviewer]

Avoid at all costs!!!

As a big Nic Cage fan, I was really looking forward to this. I was hoping it would be a ballsy action movie in the same shape as CON AIR and THE ROCK. Unfortunately we have the worst film of the year so far and perhaps Cage's worst movie of his career.

Don't let the trailer featuring car chases, explosions, gunplay and hand to hand combat fool you. This is a tediously slowburning drama/thriller with three action set pieces. Cage's character is eccentrically quirky throughout, but not in an enjoyable way. I found him quite irritating. As for someone who is an assassin trying to keep a low profile, a bizzare receading bouffant is not the answer.

Corny dialogue, second rate action and a steaming heap of a storyline. Belongs on the bottom shelf of the video shop next to Segal, and Van Damme, not on the big screen.

Avoid!

What's going on?

Why are people saying this filmis rubbish? Is it that they wanted a different ending? I think probably so. This film is certainly violent and you don't have to be Franz Kafka to understand the plot. Marcel Proust wouldn't watch it and say 'damn, I wish I wrote that!' but the same could be said of Resevoir Dogs and look how popular that was/is.

The stunts in this movie are fantastic and REAL Cage fans will not be disappointed. This film would NOT spoil your evening - it's really quite good.
