...Stylish, imaginative...
Sight and Sound
Rating: C+ --
...an old-as-the-hills hit man story jazzed up by flashy visuals and a charismatic turn by the very good looking lead.

Reeling Reviews
The pacing is usually clumsy and transitions are clunky. There are two bravura sequences not quite worth the price of submission . . . other scenes suggest that the Pang Brothers really want to make a new horror film, not retread stagnant action plots.
Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Alberta)
Seriously impressive.

Time Out
...[The film has] raw energy and palpable passion....The film draws its force from neon-doused ultraviolence, frenetic editing and a teeth-loosening loud techno soundtrack...
Total Film
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.

Product Description:
Twin brothers Oxide and Danny Pang make their first feature together with this raw attack on the senses. BANGKOK DANGEROUS is like Pop Rocks candy: it leaves a funny taste in your mouth and the stinging pop is strangely alluring. It's a unique mixture of kinetic editing, textured visual sensuality, and aural assault. It's so incredibly gory and fantastic it literally vibrates.
Kong (Pawalit Mongkolpisit) is a killer. Because he is deaf and mute, he isn't scared of the sound of gunfire. Working as a professional hit man, he stalks the seedy streets of Bangkok carrying out orders or drinking at the nightclub where the boss's moll, Aom (Pisek Intrakanchit), moonlights as a stripper. Joe (Pisek Intrakanchit) is Kong's best friend (and Aom's ex), who retired from working as a hit man when his hand was injured in a shoot out. With nothing to do, Joe is always drunk and depressed. One day, Kong meets Fon (Premsinee Ratanasopha), a sweet innocent who works in a drugstore. He falls in love and begins to question the life he leads. But it happens too late. When Joe is murdered, Kong decides to seek redemption by turning against his crime bosses and assaulting the Thai underworld.
