This lifeless remake of a 1999 film by the Pang brothers is a predictable and rather down-beat film that brings out the worst in the action genre.

| Original Score: D+ | Oct 16, 2019

A promising film about a hit man that ultimately gets wacked because its star isn't suited for the role at all.

| Original Score: 3/10 | Oct 15, 2012

At six foot plus, with his hair-plug mullet and his ice-white teeth, Cage sticks out like a sore thumb among the tiny Thai citizens, making for the most conspicuous hitman since Agent 47 rocked the bald head 'n' barcode combination.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 14, 2012

This has the look of a cheap quickie foreign film, not unlike a Hong Kong action film.

| Original Score: D | Mar 23, 2010

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 27, 2010

Between all the dates and dinners, Bangkok almost ends up being as less thriller and more travelogue; by the hour mark, there are literally more gulps than gunshots.

| Dec 17, 2009

While the film includes several exciting, creatively shot action scenes, the drama is otherwise so shopworn that the violent climax is a relief.

| Dec 8, 2008

A by-the-numbers retread that's ill-conceived as an action vehicle for Cage.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Nov 20, 2008

o Nicolas Cage na periferei tis ektos eleghoy sapoynoperikes toy moytes kai ti geloia malloyra toy, se ena pompodi poiitikistiko ahtarma, poy bromaei ap' opoy ki an ton piaseis

| Original Score: 1/5 | Nov 8, 2008

[Cage is] funless, scowly, grim, and steroidally impervious to the fleshy and salacious good cheer that surrounds him.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Oct 18, 2008

Tediously monotonous.

| Oct 18, 2008

The burnt out assassin shtick is old and tired.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Oct 18, 2008

The film isn't overtly heavy-handed in its violence, but it doesn't provoke enough surprises to keep the mind from drifting -- a poison pill for an action film.

| Original Score: C- | Sep 27, 2008

A perfectly uninvolving tale of errors acknowledged and manhood proved.

| Sep 17, 2008

It's garbage. Cage better be careful. If he keeps this up, he'll wind up just like Val Kilmer doing straight to DVD junk.

| Original Score: .5/4 | Sep 16, 2008

Nicolas Cage parece determinado a sabotar a própria carreira... e muitos outros atores já teriam, em seu lugar, sido rebaixados a produções lançadas diretamente em DVD

| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 13, 2008

Not to be a contrarian, but as predictable as the movie is, its events often feel as if there were no alternative. The Pang brothers, besides being artisans of action and suspense, tell a good story -- or maybe I'm simply suffering from heat and Hurricane

| Original Score: 3/4 | Sep 12, 2008

Neutered, but pretty, and lacking any real development, this is the cinematic equivalent of a eunuch whose voice unfortunately broke pre-castration

| Sep 11, 2008

Cage is believable as the brooding lone-wolf gunman, but the "hit man screwing himself by growing a conscience on his final kill" ploy needs to be put down for good.

| Original Score: 2/6 | Sep 11, 2008

Ominous maybe, but never dangerous

| Original Score: 4/10 | Sep 10, 2008
