Bangkok Dangerous
"Hypercaffeinated gangster flick... a jumpy jolt of unbridled energy!" -New York Daily News
Kong, a professional killer, has been mute since childhood. He plies the city's bitterest streets, with silence his only response to the killings and assassinations he performs. He is deadly. He is numb. He enacts his grisly tasks with a sociopathic coldness - his steady, impersonal revenge on the world. Ultimately, the chance for his transformation (and redemption) finally arrives in the form of a girl able to provide the only tenderness and warmth he's ever known. It could save him. It could kill him. A gritty story, the film is a powerful thriller, with strong emphasis on style, suave cutting techniques, effects, and urbane production values. Fast-paced, bloody and exciting, this film shows Bangkok's darker world, and the glimmer of hope in the dimmest of lives. It's a film about cities, a film about death. With its high-speed chases, its gunfire and action, its intensity, Bangkok Dangerous is a killer.

Decent movie. Not as good as 2008 Version - djray
I actually enjoyed the Nicolas Cage version better. This was the version that was created prior to the 2008 version. It is all in Thai. Some of the directing is good but I wouldn't recommend it to a North American audience.
In my opinion, there was lack of character development and I had difficulty getting into the story and the plot. There were some nice direction though if you would like to sample foreign movies.
