Thanks for posting this review Triple B! Looks like they enjoyed it and that their experience of the film was that it was a 'light' and 'fun' action film with some 'awesome stunts' with nothing 'too extreme'! I guess film is like art, each individual has their own interpretation. Nice to see something positive from the Imdb site!

Someone posted this review on the IMDB.com site...............Looks like they agreed wit Mara that this flick is awesome!
Have you seen the trailer for this film??? Then forget about reading my review or anybody else's for that matter! It doesn't take 2 brain cells rubbing together to know what you are going to get here, and you get PLENTY of it! This was not a typical movie choice for me but I had some idea what to expect and I think you do too. Having said that, here is a BIG SURPRISE - this was one of the MOST FUN, simply enjoyable movies I have seen in months, maybe a couple of years!!! This film is wonderfully unpretentious. It doesn't take itself too seriously, and we shouldn't either. Bangkok Dangerous provides deep intellectual insights, an elegantly constructed production with soul-searching performances, an air-tight plot with masterful dialog, gritty realism, completely true-to-life action scenes, brilliant editing!! This movie is all about fun! Crazy, mind-blowing, awesome (and in some cases,of course, obviously impossible) extreme stunts! Cage is charismatic and charming, the girl is sexy and engaging and the bad guy is appropriately nuts. The plot is good enough. There's some humor and a few decent one-liners, too. The way this film is NOT extreme is also refreshing. There is just basic shoot-em-up and action stuff - no extreme violence/gore, no extreme profanity, no extreme sexual content, and no extremely 'important' artistic message. In other words, nothing to detract from the great fun of a fast-paced, amazing stunt-fest that is light, refreshing, and visually awesome. The perfect summer action flick!
