Nicholas Cage commits another crime against hair in his new series of moving images that involve the same character and apparently have a story, “Bangkok Dangerous.” This piece of regurgitated cat vomit looks awful. We are refraining from using the word “film” when talking about it. Cage plays a tough and ruthless hitman on assignment in Thailand, home of the rough and toothless, and we care so little about it that we aren’t even going to look up the rest of the synopsis, because it isn’t even important. Cage hasn’t been in a good movie since “The Weather Man,” which is subjective as well. He did have a hilarious bit part as Fu Manchu in the fake trailer “Werewolf Women of the S.S.” in “Grindhouse.” He used to act in one good movie a year and then sleepwalk through three or four bad ones, but now as his hair dous get worse, so do his parts.
‘Bangkok Dangerous’ Won’t Be Screened for Critics; Shocker!
‘Dangerous’ is so awful it isn’t even being screened for critics, and after watching this clip, its obvious why. It isn’t easy to sustain laughter while watching the apparent target get his hand chopped off by a boat propeller, so this might be a pretty enjoyably awful movie, like “The Wicker Man,” but I’m sure it can wait until DVD or Youtube. If it weren’t for its star, this project would have most likely gone straight to DVD. Even the poster looks like a straight to DVD cover. Compare it to the Blockbuster Video shelf favorite “Chaos” starring Wesley Snipes.
“Bangkok Dangerous” is directed by The Pang Brothers who brought us such hits like the original “The Eye” and “The Eye 2,” and will be released in theaters on September 5th.
