Nicolas Cage is the actor who best straddles the worlds of schlocky movies and high-brow art cinema. His work in films like Raising Arizona, Adaptation, and Moonstruck is acting on a higher level. His work on films like A Score to Settle, Kill Chain, and Pay the Ghost feels like quick money-grabs. And his work on Face/Off, Mandy, and The Wicker Man lie somewhere in the middle. This remake of a Thai film by the same name and directors finds Nic Cage trying to bridge his many worlds. And although it falls short, Bangkok Dangerous lives on more as a punchline than the film it was intended to be.

Also, Dan plays Hitman, Shitman, or Splitman.
