IN an action thriller set in steamy Bangkok, Nicolas Cage heats up the screen and is on target as a professional hit man for hire in the explosive DVD and Blu-ray release of Bangkok Dangerous, released December 16.

In the footsteps of the cult 1999 Thai hit movie of the same name, Bangkok Dangerous is again directed by the Pang Brothers, masters of the action genre on their home turf in Thailand.

This time Nicolas Cage is professional hired gun Joe, a master of his ruthless craft. Recruited by Thai gang lord Surat, Joe is assigned to kill four people, with the last being a plot to assassinate the Thai Prime Minister.

He meets pickpocket Kong (Chakrit Yamnam) and has him liaise with Surats contact, Aom (Charlie Yeung) a nightclub dancer, thereby ensuring his anonymity.

When Joe has last minute second thoughts about assassinating the Thai Prime Minister, Surat and his gang seek revenge on Joe, Kong and Aom.

In an exciting climax of high-octane action, will Joe return to rescue his friends, or walk away as the hard cold hit man he once was?

An explosive action movie not to be missed this summer, Bangkok Dangerous smokes up the screen when it is released to DVD and Blu-ray December 16.
