US version of Hong Kong films

I haven't seen Silent Fire 1, so when I go to the cinema, I just go for Cage's fame. Hearing the name, I thought it was another big American blockbuster. But when I watched it, I realized that it was a Hong Kong-made film played by foreigners.
The movie doesn't have the usual explosion of beautiful movies, gorgeous sports cars, and sexy beauties. Instead, it's the small-scene, miraculous approach that has always been used in Hong Kong films. It's like chasing in an alley, and fighting on a small river. The most interesting part is the showdown in the factory. The whole scene was dyed blood red by the red alarm, which reminded people of the pier before Leslie Cheung was shot in The True Color of Heroes. The whole scene was also dyed bright red.

Bangkok Dangerous quotes

  • Joe: [Narrating, referring to Kong] Why didn't I kill him? Maybe it's because - and this is strange - somehow, when I looked in his eyes, I saw myself. So I became his teacher.

  • Joe: [Narrating] Political assassination wasn't in the contract. So, there were two ways to go: refuse the job and walk away now. Or, do the job and walk away rich.
