Deviant first, then "Bushido"

Nicolas Cage's eyes are very temperamental. Yang Cai Ni, she looks good, but she feels too much of a vase. No matter in terms of her acting skills or her grasp of the entire script, she lacks the qualities of a dumb girl that this character should have. (I can't say what qualities the dumb girl in this script needs to have, but she is definitely not the most suitable actor for this role.)

Four principles for liking a professional killer:
1. Don't ask right or wrong, there is no such thing as right or wrong in the world.
2. Strictly confidential, contacts are always untrustworthy.
3. Clear all clues, go alone and have no worries.
4. Get out in time, you must be vigilant at all times, and get out of your body before you lose your value and become a target.

In the end, his fate is just the testimony of his violation of the 4 principles. He hesitated because the fourth person to be killed was a good man whom the townspeople liked; the errand contact betrayed him and gave him where he lived; he fell in love with the dumb girl and was no longer free; no He escaped in time, and was finally surrounded by the police, and he could only perish with the outsiders in the story.

All in all, the ending feels rather disappointing. Really, this killer is not too cold. Which killer is as stubborn and tender as him. Originally, there is no turning back in this profession. A small mistake can lead to a total loss, or even life. Also, the fate of most professional killers is that dog bites dog and black eats black. This ending is too official, too much like a movie.

I don't like how deviant this killer is in his career. However, I appreciate his Bushido spirit, "The way of the warrior is to know the way of death." Moreover, none of the characters in this film are qualified to kill Nicolas Cage.

    In the end, I couldn't stand it anymore. Fast-forward, fast-forward, and fast-forward. I don't understand why Cage's back is so hunched! !

    As a Nicholas Cage fan, I still think this movie sucks. The Peng brothers also produced films at the assembly-line Hong Kong level in the 1990s.

Bangkok Dangerous quotes

  • Joe: [Narrating, referring to Kong] Why didn't I kill him? Maybe it's because - and this is strange - somehow, when I looked in his eyes, I saw myself. So I became his teacher.

  • Joe: [Narrating] Political assassination wasn't in the contract. So, there were two ways to go: refuse the job and walk away now. Or, do the job and walk away rich.
