"Despite a few sentimental flourishes, this programmer delivers for action fans. (...) Bangkok won't be making any appearances at the Oscars, but it is executed with skill and -- a severed limb or two notwithstanding -- without too much bloody excess." | ||||
"Of all the shoddy, insipid qualities of Bangkok Dangerous, the most egregious is the most fundamental: The film is simply dreadful to look at." | ||||
"Parts of Bangkok Dangerous, far from seeming unfamiliar or freshly stylized, offer nothing that you couldn't catch in an episode of 'CSI'." | ||||
"The remake feels like a hollow excuse to present the myriad ways in which a bullet can pierce a cranium" | ||||
"As a cinematic experience, it's like being locked in a coffin for an hour and a half" | ||||
"Pretty much all the things that made the original so original are filtered out of this un-original." | ||||
"A morose, slow-moving action picture" |
