The shooting sprees are full of razzle dazzle. The final gun battle -- between Kong and the police -- is especially effective.
May display an energetic and promising talent, but it is also uncomfortably close to being a 105-minute music video, with all the problems that suggests.
Some of the nonstop commotion of Bangkok Dangerous is funny and inventive -- but much more of it is simply irritating and obfuscating.
There are movies that are all about the characters, and then there are movies, like Bangkok Dangerous, that are far more about the directors who created those characters.
The film never escapes the constraints of its genre, but it's a hell of a ride.
The movie is a technical marvel from its lysergic cinematography (by Decha Srimantra) to its pulsing-vessel sound design, but it has no identity apart from its influences, however dazzlingly they're deployed.
The editing looks like it was done in a blender, and the images of death and grief are so genre-primal that the Pangs hardly bother with dialogue.
