Playing with light and shadow-"Bangkok Killer"

Nicholas Cage is old, really old, so old that his hair is almost bald. But I like the ending. I took a gun at my head in my right hand, and the head of the gang boss in my left hand. Pulling the trigger, I kill two birds with one stone. It's just that the first task he completed for himself was also the last.
There are many impressive shots in the film, such as the scene where the speedboat is chasing, and the bullet blasts from the bottom of the ship when the target is killed. However, all of these have to make people ignore the play of light and shadow in the whole film. His face that hides in the darkness while waiting for the target is like a static head sculpture. In the final gun battle, the use of light and shadow was greatly improved, from the hot red picture to the cold blue picture, which put the eyes to the test.
In the film, Yang Caini's face is always pale, but her forced smile is inexplicable and makes the cold assassin understand love. Maybe it can only be explained by "love is inexplicable and sudden". Even because I was stuck in love and couldn't extricate myself, I ended up ruining a good killer. Because I like the perfect ending of self-destruction, so certain boring love that makes this perfect ending inevitable can only be accepted.
There is also Kang, the apprentice taught by the killer, who is really incompetent. He has learned all the skills but is useless. He feels that the scene where he is standing on the riverside in the end is really superfluous. Do you want to start from human nature? Remembrance? sigh? I even hope that the killer can make him disappear

as he treated his contacts after performing the tasks countless times before... Because of my work relationship, I am home from all over the world. This kind of life has a lot of disadvantages. I'm used to it, but I also want to make friends or something, but it's all in the dust and I don't have a fixed place to live. When the employer wants me to go there, I go there and do what is required. Fortunately, there is always a reward for paying, the job is stable, and the income is good, but not everyone can earn.
I have my principles. First, do not ask right or wrong. There is no such thing as right or wrong in the world. 2. Strictly confidential, contacts are always untrustworthy. 3. Eliminate all clues and walk alone without worry. 4. Get out of your body in time, you must always be vigilant, and get out of your body before you lose value and become a target.

    The big-name acting is impeccable, and the plot is really bad

    The plot of this film is lacking from outline to details. It turns out that Cage was short of money in 2008.

Bangkok Dangerous quotes

  • Joe: [Narrating] All my clients have one thing in common: they feed off the people. There's big money in misery. Where there's money, there's competition, and the guy paying me usually wins.

  • Joe: [Narrating] You stay invisible too long, the human race starts to look like another species. So you venture out. You observe. And then you return to your invisible world. Like a ghost.
