An audiovisually complex drama that's better than slick, though it feels pointless-another homage to a kind of filmmaking that's had more than its share.

Bangkok Dangerous mixes mindless violence, sappy romance, and philosophical pretentiousness. On the whole, it does the first better than the other two.

Enjoyable in an undemanding way, and with a few interesting flourishes.

Scene after thrilling scene, this movie takes your breath away.

It's long on style but short on substance.
