This killer is not cold enough

Today I finally watched the new work of Nicolas Cage that I had been looking forward to for a long time. Unfortunately, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
At the beginning of the film, Cage's reading and his unique voice still feel the same. Those four commandments are the killer code. It's just that the later plots are more and more Hong Kong films. Maybe I have watched too many Hong Kong films, and these plots and emotions are numbing. The killer wasn't cold enough, he broke all four of his precepts in Bangkok. The frozen heart began to thaw and warm. Not only did he meet the girl who made his heart move, but also the mentoring relationship with Kong made him an exception. The precept of killing no right or wrong is also not killing because he is a good person, and he has also changed from a killer to a man of justice to kill the buyer who originally let him kill.
Maybe this film would have been good if you watched it ten or five years ago. It's just that in the current competitive and motivated film market, such a script can no longer move the hearts of the audience. Nicolas Cage is also getting old, his head is getting bald, and the most handsome face is only the same melancholy look. I have never doubted Cage's acting skills, I can only say that the script is too general, making it impossible for this killer to play.
In addition, Yang Caini's performance in this film is quite satisfactory. There have been no new works for so many years, so it is okay to have such a performance. It's just that the behavior when he meets cage in the film is a bit weird and not very common sense. Ha ha. Beauty also grows old, and looking at the splayed lines on her eyes and face cannot hide the fact that she is getting old.
The whole film has a good interpretation of the scenery of Bangkok. If you watch the cage as a sightseeing film, then there is nothing to complain about.

Bangkok Dangerous quotes

  • Joe: [Narrating] The truth is, almost anyone can take out a politician. That's not the hard part. The hard part is getting away with it.

  • Joe: [Narrating; his latest "hit" has gone bad] When the nightmare becomes real, you don't hesitate. You don't think, you just run. Anyone in the way goes down. It's pretty simple. You are the target now. Leave the country, or you are going to die.
