Directed by the Pang brothers
PANG BROTHERS MAKE IT AGAIN: Bangkok Dangerous (15).
HAVING sucessfully directed Bangkok Dangerous in 1999, the Pang brothers have taken the road to Hollywood to produce another risible version starring Nicolas Cage as a hitman who's sent to Bangkok on a mission.
However, after repeating his mantra about never getting involved, the haunted-looking Cage takes on an apprentice assassin (Shahkrit Yamnarm), falls in love with a deaf mute (Charlie Young) and causes chaos.
Seriously stupid.
