CRITIC REVIEWS
LEW IRWIN
Apparently Lionsgate felt it was too dangerous to show Bangkok Dangerous to critics before it was released. They were right. Critics showed up over the weekend to see for themselves how bad the film was and without exception gave the film a good banging. "The film is simply dreadful to look at," concludes Nathan Lee in the New York Times. "As a cinematic experience, it''''s like being locked in a coffin for an hour and a half," comments David Hiltbrand in the Philadelphia Inquirer. Writing in the Los Angeles Times, Michael Ordo?a calls it "a standard tired-warrior-finds-meaning-of-life, wants-out-of-the-killing-biz yarn." Wesley Morris in the Boston Globe describes it as "dismayingly comatose, a cynical exercise whose star can''''t even be roused to action."

forget the 1 star (who DID that?...somebody seems to have countered with a 4, but I would not go as far as that)...what is is (in my highly enlightened and completely disinterested opinion) is a good, solid action flik, although I would have liked to see more hand to hand in it....it's a cookie cutter movie (meaning not original; who makes these things up?), but it's a Good cookie cutter movie...i'm only going to give it a 3+, but after viewing about 50,000 movies, from the age of 6 weeks (so I am told), why would i be easy to please?
