[COLOR="DarkOrchid"][FONT="Times New Roman"]Despite the title, and the fact that it reminds me of that bloody "One Night In Bangkok" song by that freaking-

Nevermind.

Bangkok Dangerous was a ****ing amazing movie. It was not the typical R rated bang bang explosions expletives, titties, bang bang, more explosions adrenaline fest with crappy one liners. In fact it was a more methodical, slightly slower paced film about the anonymous assassin and the last four hits he has to complete in Bangkok before retiring.

Now at first I was thinking this sure as hell better not turn out to be Matador, just repackaged and with asian gogo dancers and miniskirts. And naturally it turned out to be completely dark and noir and exciting with a helluva ending that was not a wild roller coaster boom time. In fact, when the main character [spoiler]makes his final kill, he knows he's doomed anyway and kills himself and his target by putting him in a submission hold, lining up their heads, and pulling the trigger.[/spoiler]

Additionally the insertion of a [spoiler]failed[/spoiler] sweet tender romance that didn't even have any real kissing or sex scenes was wonderful and touching and I was completely enthralled. One: she was beautiful. Two: she was deaf and used American Sign Language [which I could understand. In Thailand. Go figure] and Three: she was faithfully represented, only making sounds when under extreme emotional distress.

So if you want an adult movie that requires a little thought and is kind of like a realistic under the top Sin City kinda dark, go for it.[/FONT][/COLOR]
