Review, by Anthony Lane: "Parts of Bangkok Dangerous, far from seeming unfamiliar or freshly stylized, offer nothing that you couldn't catch in an episode of 'CSI.'"
Review, by Jordan Mintzer: "Without the technical nastiness and fatal realism that made the initial film so compelling, the remake feels like a hollow excuse to present the myriad ways in which a bullet can pierce a cranium, rather than an edgy portrait of Third World violence."
Review, by William Goss: "This isn't a curious tragedy or a compelling thriller; no, it's just movie star Nic Cage in Shootin' Stuff, bound to come and go in a haze of delivery pizza and half-hearted pay-per-view. Like Joe, Cage gets paid for his hits, and like Joe, the quality of said hits is beginning to waver."
