"An exhaustingly mediocre remake that suffers from a nasty case of dullness and inactivity."
ReelTalk Movie Reviews
A. J. Hakari
" Predictable as a snowstorm in December -- but visually exciting. Plus Charlie Yeung fills the screen with charm and grace."

1.5/5
"the proverbial sound and fury, filled with typical Asian action film gravitas yet signifying nothing. A whole lot of nothing."

"It turns out Bangkok isn't very dangerous. It's glacial, abysmally photographed, dreadfully acted, faintly plotted, and frequently absurd. But dangerous? Not really."

"Pretty junky stuff, but it is notable for one oddball thing: the end credits attribute someone as 'Personal Chef of Nicolas Cage' and someone else as 'Assistant to Personal Chef of Nicolas Cage'. Yikes."

"The Pang Brothers' remake yearns to be sensationalistic and probing but falls short in its request for a slight redemptive actioner that sizzles with moral conflict and confusion."

"All it proves is that on their home turf the Pangs can make an international hit-man tale every bit as trashy and dull as the ones made in Hollywood or Europe."

"While production values in 'Bangkok Dangerous' are competent, there are no technical fireworks to compensate for the story's dearth of energy and originality."

Movies for the Masses
Joseph Proimakis
1/4
"The film is handsomely cold looking, but so generic that it's hard to work up much interest in its car chases, shoot outs and frequent breaks to ogle the firm young flesh for sale in Bangkok's fleshpots."
TV Guide's Movie Guide
Maitland McDonagh
1/3
"Los Pang utilizan los mismos trucos que en sus películas de terror; mientras que ya en éstas resultan molestos, en
Bangkok dangerous
no hay por donde cogerlos."

"Hollywood came a-callin', and said [to the Pang brothers], 'Come work for us. We're pay you a sh*tload of money. All you have to do is sell us your souls.' And the brothers said yes."

MaryAnn Johanson
1.5/4
"
Bangkok
isn't dangerous so much as really, really boring."
Aisle Seat
Mike McGranaghan
1.5/4
"As they did with their original, the Pangs steal liberally from John Woo without ever replicating his shootout-choreography inventiveness or proficiency."
Slant Magazine
Nick Schager
2/5
"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"
Cinema em Cena
Pablo Villaca
2/5
"Danny and Oxide Pang [rework] the plot of their 2000 thriller to make way for Nicolas Cage and his Big Star persona"
Shadows on the Wall
Rich Cline
4/5
"Been there, seen that. But it's not the notes, it's how Cage plays them."

Rob Gonsalves
3/10
"Toxic and tedious, it's 'Bangkok Boring.'"
SSG Syndicate
Susan Granger
2/10
"Would that the film were a tenth as deliciously bad as its title."
