The story is only subpar and can be boring at times. Sometimes it felt as if the direction of the movie was heading nowhere.

The characters were as easily forgetable as this movie. Kong lacks onscreen charisma (I understand this can be rather hard considering that he's mute). Joe only made a few appearances and the friendship between him and Kong was never convincing.

The action was scarce. And when a gun fight did break out, it was as boring as "we see Kong point at something off screen and BANG". In other words, don't expect the action to be superb. It's not. The choreography was sloppy and gritty. Good for the feel of the movie. Bad for somebody who wanted a bullet ballet flick.

Bangkok Dangerous is everything we've already seen from HK during the eighties and nineties (An assassin with a heart of gold trying to play it straight but gets suckered back into the world of killing again). If you want to watch a good action movie from Thailand watch something else. If you want to waste a couple of hours, please....watch something else.
