Bangkok Dangerous

 (2008)

Action | Crime | Thriller



The life of Joe, an anonymous assassin, takes an unexpected turn when he travels to Thailand to complete a series of contract killings. Joe, a remorseless hitman, is in Bangkok to execute four enemies of a ruthless crime boss named Surat. He hires Kong, a street punk and pickpocket, to run errands for him with the intention of covering his tracks by killing him at the end of the assignment. Strangely, Joe, the ultimate lone wolf, finds himself mentoring the young man instead whilst simultaneously being drawn into a tentative romance with a local shop girl. As he falls further under the sway of Bangkok's intoxicating beauty, Joe begins to question his isolated existence and let down his guard--just as Surat decides it's time to clean house.

Bangkok Dangerous Blu-ray, Video Quality

  n/a


Bangkok Dangerous sights in on Blu-ray courtesy of Lionsgate with a 1080p transfer and framed in a 1.78:1 aspect ratio. The film offers something of a stylized look that doesn't stand out as too odd or distracting, but it also doesn't lend itself very well to top-flight high definition eye candy, either. This is a very dark movie, and one that is also extremely grainy, which lends a unique, but very cinematic, look and feel to the film. Blacks, in which the film is bathed, are stable but sometimes veer towards being a bit too bright. The dark nights on the Bangkok streets are punctuated nicely by spots of neon color that offer the best bit of vibrancy throughout the image. Interior shots are mostly drab and only moderately-at-best lit. As a result of the dark, stylized, drab look, flesh tones take on a yellowish, slightly green tint in many shots. Still, detail is adequate; many close-ups of Nicolas Cage's face reveal all the finest of nuances. However, fine detail is rather low elsewhere. Most objects, foreground and background, appear soft and undefined. What there is to see does look great; a boating scene in chapter nine reveals excellent color reproduction and above average detail on many objects. The finale is bathed in various colors, red and blue, primarily, that again add to the stylized look of the film. Bangkok Dangerous will never be a reference grade disc, but the transfer appears to be an accurate representation of the film's intended look and feel.

  Array of 5


Bangkok Dangerous explodes onto Blu-ray with a full-fledged DTS-HD MA 7.1 lossless soundtrack. Both Brian Tyler's score, and the various bass-heavy popular music numbers, play out with excellent spacing, shooting out of every speaker with plenty of bass thrown in for good measure. A club scene in chapter three is one of the more lively scenes yet on Blu-ray, as the pulse-pounding techno beats permeate every square inch of the listening area, effectively turning the home theater into a vivacious dance club. Several similar scenes play throughout the movie. Gun shots tear through the soundstage with an exciting amount of punch and vigor, as do several motorcycle sequences. The soundtrack creates a nice subtle atmosphere in many scenes, bringing various places and events to life. For example, a rain and thunderstorm scene in chapter eight lends a nice audible effect that adds some sonic flair to one of the film's romantic sequences. The action begins to erupt in chapter 12 with gunshots going off in every direction, cracking and impacting all over the soundstage, and taking advantage of every speaker. It's not 3:10 to Yuma, but it works, and is a good, clean, fun action movie listen.
