I saw Bangkok Dangerous many years ago but I don’t really remember it so it obviously wasn’t that good. I just don’t understand why a good filmmaker would want to remake their own film but since this is not some shot-for-shot Funny Games bullshit I’ll give it a chance because I did enjoy the gore.

+Nicholas Cage would probably look less ridiculous if he never got that hair transplant in the first place. He looked so retarded in Next.

I was on holiday and finally got around to seeing Wanted. Jay, I couldn’t agree with you more: What a pile of poo. I had to go home and watch scenes from The Road Warrior just to get the awful taste out of my mouth.

I also love the bullet arcs at the end. Vintage pang brothers visuals. The problem with the Pangs is usually in the storytelling not in the visuals. I like how they compose their scenes.

I don’t see the connection to Wanted though…I don’t think the BD remake is nearly as over the top or CGI enhanced as Wanted.

And the best supporting actor in action film goes to…Nic Cage’s hair. I liked Rambo and if its anything like it in terms of action then I’m sure I’ll enjoy this.

I would take this over Wanted any day.

Hadn’t seen that scene before, but I sure liked it. I loved the fact that it has the violence of cutting off the guy’s hand, but then when he actually kills him, you only see those (always) cool bullets shooting through the water coming out of the bottom of the boat.

Looks for John Woo-ish to me. Love the Pang Brothers, but never saw the original BD (great title). Is it the original any good?
