The Movie: Bangkok Dangerous…
I just got back from watching the Bangkok Dangerous with Juleen at TGV 1-Utama. Today was supposed to be the premier showing for Bangkok Dangerous and we were fortunate to have the tickets but what we fail to understand was…
how come the cinema is so full…………………………. with empty and unoccupied seats?
Could it because everyone was so tired on Thursday night that no one bother to catch the premier or simply because the movie is so bad that no one wanted to watch it? I don’t know… we were just hoping this will be a great movie. In my mind, John Travolta always produce good movie!
One half hour later, we walked out from the cinema with the impression that the whole movie was all about BANG, BANG and BANG (gun shooting). Oh yeah! And also the four (4) rules set by Joe, the professional killer (Nicholas Cage):-
1. don’t ask questions;
2. there is no right or wrong;
3. don’t take an interest in people outside of work;
4. know when to get out.
While typing this post, I am still trying to recall what did I get from the whole movie. Well, nothing other than BANG! BANG! (gun shooting) and the 4 rules… Darn!!! The whole movie was all about people shooting each other and the four (4) rules? Fortunately, we got the ticket for free with no exchange of any Malaysian currency notes other than paying for our popcorn and drink. Seriously, the movie not worth paying for…

while I messed up the floor with popcorn… (Juleen says: like a 5 year old kid.. hehe)
By the way, I did a google search and I found out that there were two versions of Bangkok Dangerous. You have a 1999 version which is a full Thai version and the current 2008 version. The amazing thing is that both movies were directed by the same directors, the Pang brothers. I wonder which version is better? Probably the 1999 one (who knows?)…

My advice therefore, save up your money instead of paying for the movie. You might potentially afford one way ticket to Bangkok, Thailand if you do just that…
Seriously, the movie IS NOT WORTH YOUR MONEY!
Whatever it is, just remember the 4 rules…
1. don’t ask questions
- don’t ask me why the movie is bad (I already explained)…
2. there is no right or wrong
- simply because there is no right or wrong. It was just my opinion!
3. don’t take an interest in people outside of work
- some might think the movie is good and disagree with me but I am not interested to know…
4. know when to get out.
- and if I am right about the movie, then I know when to get out…
(HAHAHA!!!)
