Sure it's non-stop action, it's predictable, it could never happen, but it never once tries to deny any of that. In fact Bangkok Dangerous embraces it. I enjoyed kicking back and watching Nic Cage do an action movie like this. Thailand serves as a really cool setting and the action sequences are all highly entertaining. I wish he'd get back to doing flicks like The Rock, Face/Off, Gone In Sixty Seconds, etc. One the film's biggest drawbacks is the conclusion of Nic Cages character. The movie seems very influenced by The Professional and The Replacement Killers (though not quite as good). I'd recommend this film to someone who wants a 90 minute adrenaline rush that isn't looking to be overly critical. It definitely had a Hong Kong action feel which is a major plus.
