Bangkok Dangerous International Trailer

The Pang Brothers have an occasion to bring a great movie to the western world by doing a remake of a really succesful Thai movie they directed, Bangkok Dangerous.
Starring Nicolas Cage this remake will be more palatable to European and American tastes.

Here below the international trailer of Bangkok Dangerous:


The Plot:
"A hitman (Nicolas Cage) in Bangkok to pull off a series of jobs falls for a local woman and bonds with his errand boy." (Source: IMDb)

This remake looks quite well done: I think Nicolas Cage accounts for a lot in this impression though.

Bangkok Dangerous Original Thai Movie

Bangkok Dangerous - Thai MovieThe upcoming movie Bangkok Dangerous starring Nicolas Cage is actually a remake of a Thai movie. The Thai movie was quite successful in Thailand and in Asia and was even nominated in film festivals in Canada and in Europe.

The Pang Brothers - who come from Hong Kong - directed this Thai movie.

Here below the trailer of Bangkok Dangerous, the Thai version:


I watched this Thai version of Bangkok Dangerous some months ago. This movie really catched my attention: I didn't get bored at all.

Let's hope Nicolas Cage will be at least as credible as Pawalit Mongkolpisit in the role of the hitman.
