Critic Reviews

  • Lisa Alspector, Chicago Reader

    An audiovisually complex drama that's better than slick, though it feels pointless-another homage to a kind of filmmaking that's had more than its share.

  • Jonathan F. Richards, Film.com

    Bangkok Dangerous mixes mindless violence, sappy romance, and philosophical pretentiousness. On the whole, it does the first better than the other two.

  • Variety Staff, Variety

    Enjoyable in an undemanding way, and with a few interesting flourishes.

  • , Time Out

    Seriously impressive.

  • Eric Harrison, Houston Chronicle

    Scene after thrilling scene, this movie takes your breath away.

    The Pang brothers manage to use fancy editing, bright neon lights, and a memorable soundtrack without once coming off as pretentious. Kong is a wonderful protagonist, and conveys heart felt emotions despite the inability to speak. His final attempt at reading out what he wrote in a… More

    Gritty depiction of a handful of amorals make me wonder "What's the point of this film??" Calling the story threadbare is an insult to fishnet stockings. Let's see how many words it takes to describe: Deaf/mute assassin meets girl, then avenges mentor and a… More
