Bangkok Dangerous (2008)

Synopsis:
Based on the Pang Brothers' wildly popular Hong Kong action film of the same name, Bangkok
Dangerous follows the story of Joe (Cage), a remorseless hit man who comes to Bangkok to execute four enemies of a ruthless crime boss. He hires Kong (Shahkrit Yamnarm, Belly of the Beast), a street punk and pickpocket, to run errands for him with the intention of covering his tracks by killing him at the end of the assignment. Strangely, Joe, the ultimate lone wolf, finds himself mentoring the young man instead whilst simultaneously being drawn into a tentative romance with a local shop girl. As he falls further under the sway of Bangkok's intoxicating beauty, Joe begins to question his isolated existence and lets down his guard …just as the crime boss decides it's time to clean house.

Review: I felt so strongly about this horrible movie that I should at least try to warn other movie watchers. Please do not watch this movie unless you enjoy scratching your eyeballs or head butting stone walls because I'd rather do either of those than watch this movie again. Nicholas Cage is awful. The rest of the cast is awful. The whole tone of the movie is awful. The entire movie is either the color blue or red. If you don't know what I mean about the color watch it and it will drive you so crazy that will you realize what I mean. Some action scenes worth watching. But over all this movie is not worth watching.
