College One of the most awful movies I've seen this year. I don't recommend it to anyone and I refuse to see it again. It sucks! fb502452291 Sep 8, 2008
Babylon A.D. The movie's fine.. curiosity in the beginning.. but, when story goes on, there're too many things unexplained and weird ending.. good actors and great actions, though.. will read the book one day... fb684289750 Aug 28, 2008
Babylon A.D. I hate this movie. I consider it as one of the worst action-flick by Vin Diesel. Just plain boring. fb1371497452 Aug 28, 2008
Bangkok Dangerous Im personally not the biggest fan when it comes to Nick Cage's movies. He is a decent actor tho. I thought the National Treasure series was ok, but not the best. SO i watch this and then i realize that National Treasure would be better off with Harrison Ford and Nick Cage IS BETTER action movies like this one. This movie was awesome, a hitman that "goes by the rules" and assures his kill seems like a guy Nick would be, right? I thought this movie was good from start to finish. I wasnt bored at the slow parts and the action was awesome. Bangkok IS Dangerous, lol. I am waiting for a Nick Cage and Jason Statham movie, arent you?? They would be an awesome duo. I HAV A SUGGESTION!! They should be in a Army of Two movie(army of two is a video game in case u didnt kno, yalll should think about that.) Anyways check this movie out because its pretty good. cj11sme Aug 31, 2008
College Pretty much what I expected.Meh,anyway a few good laughs,it just reeked of Superbad,But I will give credit where it is due,These 3 pulled out some of the funniest revenge/payback pranks I have ever seen in movies.Just wait for the DVD.=) SexiVixxEN Jun 9, 2008
Bangkok Dangerous I thought I was going to enjoy an all action movie with little plot and little character development, well I was partly right. There isnt much in the way of plot and the charaters are wooden and predictable. Unfortunatly there is not enough action and far too much time spent trying to make us care about the characters, but we dont care about them because they are 2-D, predictable and boring All in all, I would recommend that if you must see this, wait for it to come on tv, dont pay to see it at the cinema. fb629113050 Sep 8, 2008
Babylon A.D. Vu avec Corina. Un peu bordélique, mais une vision de l'Europe de l'Est assez sympa. Un New York qui évoque le L.A. de Blade Runner. Le rest c'est un scnénar: "Garder le Légume"... fb1080911704 Sep 8, 2008
Bangkok Dangerous Unavoidably boring. Everything goes without a hitch for the hero until the last twenty minutes when there's actually some conflict, a story nearly worth telling and some decent action. A generic assassin-finds-a-heart story mauled by a tedious love story, uninteresting characters and strung out direction. For die hard Cage fans only. fb511927843 Sep 7, 2008
Bangkok Dangerous Not as good as expected. Tons of killings but superficial. You will have a few things on your mind when you leave the theater. fb652103176 Sep 8, 2008
Ping Pong Playa A movie that plays out the Chinese wannabe lifestyle to play out his least favorite sport for the family tradition. Kinda weird seeing the whole gimmick of a writer/main actor deal out the old fashioned stereotypical set ups. Pleasing yet nothing that strikes as seriously funny type of movie. fb566832599 Sep 8, 2008
Traitor Well this had a lot of potential. A good story but a slow to develop storyline. A nice twist and overall pretty good. I'd probably recommend seeing this one on video. fb1157964958 Sep 8, 2008
Bangkok Dangerous I haven't said it in this forum before, but it's my belief that many years ago Nicholas Cage made an oath to himself to only take the absolute best and absolute worsts scripts offered to him - with nothing in between. Unfortunately, "Bangkok Dangerous" falls among the latter. For starters, it's a remake of an original, Asian film by the same makers, which in and of itself isn't problematic, but it has the same problem that a lot of remakes of Japanese and Thai horror films have - it takes everything that was cool about the original film and successfully strips it away to whoever has agreed to be in the film ("Shutter", I'm looking at you). This movie has a basic, by-the-numbers action plot - tough, no-nonsense assassin experiences romance and redemption while out on a series of jobs. The story is done rather well - but as for the execution, yikes, it's bad. This is one of the worst casted movies ever - Nicholas Cage has never, ever been believable as an action figure. And as a big, badass assassin who has a change of heart, he's not sympathetic, he's laughable. A flick with promise, but the typical Michael Bay-ish ADD cinematography and poor casting kill it dead within five minutes of the opening frame. fb63910763 Sep 7, 2008
Bangkok Dangerous Bangkok Dangerous plays like the world's coolest anime, with the exception of being live action. Often times, when the rest of the critical world agrees with me, I use them as back up to support my opinions. When they don't agree with me, I claim that the critics don't know what they're talking about, because I'm always right(Sarcasm). The critics don't know what they're talking about. This film has a 12% on rottentomatoes.com. Now, granted that's only the generic critics, as the top critics haven't reviewed the film. (I don't know why) But, seriously, 12%? Surely this film deserves more credit than that! Maybe they didn't get it. Maybe they didn't know that it was supposed to play like an anime(which it does to a 'T'). I don't know, but I don't understand it(I'm betting that in about 10 or 15 years, the critical consensus of the film will realize, "Whoops! This is a good movie!" the same likes of what has happened to '2001: A Space Odyssey', or 'Harold and Maude'). The fact is that I loved this movie. My heart goes out to this film because, in all honesty, this is the type of film I see myself making in the future. The photography in the film is beautiful, each sequence(especially those at night) is highlighted by a seperate color. Some shots that stand out to me include a red filtered shot of two gunmen shooting at eachother through a pallet carrying bottled water, Nicholas Cage using a boat rudder to slice a man's arm off, and three bullets passing through the water in an underwater shot. The story is about Joe(no last name, nor any of the other characters), an assassin who works for an unamed identity. It's Joe's job to travel to each location given him, find an apprentice, use the apprentice to get certain goods, kill the necessary men, destroy the evidence, kill the apprentice, and start all over again at a new location. However, while in Bangkok(beautifully photographed on location by Decha Srimantra), Joe becomes intrigued by a local pharmacist. This girl is both deaf and dumb. She's happy to help Joe, however, and soon he's asking her out to dinner. Not only that, but his new apprentice, Kong(Shahkrit Yamnarm) begins to grow on him emotionally as well. Soon, he starts teaching Kong to be a trained assassin. So, what does this mean for the rest of the film? The Pang Brothers, who based this off of their independently made 1999 film by the same name, set up the tension with Joe's motives. Will he continue to be the heartless assassin he was taught to be? Or, will he and Kong begin they're own fraternity to battle ruthless gangsters, while Joe shacks up with deaf pharmacist girl(I didn't catch her name)? I won't tell you. The fun is to see where the film is headed. The ending is most satisfactory. Now for the film's faults: The musical score is generic and cheap. I hate when a scene is completely butchered because the score is trying the sell the emotion. Leave the emotion for the actors. The score should enhance the scene, not distract the audience from the scene. There's nothing worse than trying to push the point through a score that seems to say, "This is a sad part." There's a pointless relationship that Kong gets himself entangled with, all these scenes should have been cut in early drafts of the script. However, the Pang Brothers had allowed it to get past, and because of a very essential plot development in the final cut of the film, had to leave these scenes intact. Some of the action sequences(particularly those at the beginning of the film) are so unwatchable, what with the camera bouncing up and down, and the cross cutting going so fast, you can't tell what the hell is going on. Something in me wishes that this film hadn't had these faults. I wish I could say it was in the league of the Godfather Parts I and II. I can say that it's a great movie going experience and that it's probably one of the better movies in the theater right now. But, don't take my word for it. See it. And if you don't like it, you're free to bash me to death on the comments board. bckesler Sep 7, 2008
Babylon A.D. this movie sukd ass. the story was fukd up and the ending sukd. plus diesel is short as fuk and thy make him look lik he's 7"8 ItsJustMispspadescet Sep 7, 2008
Babylon A.D. esta muy chida la historia y todo el trama, como se ma desenvolviendo todo el asunto pero.....que onda con el final? siento que le falto mucho al final, quedaron cosas al aire buuuu zidane25 Sep 7, 2008
Bangkok Dangerous Nicolas Cage and his crazy hair are the least of this film's problems. The direction, script and cinematography are all factors that make this a disappointing, and quite bad shoot-em-up. fb51806499 Sep 7, 2008
Bangkok Dangerous I couldn't get past Nic Cage's awful hair - it didn't move at all but at least there was some decent action sequences and interesting actors. fb508027950 Sep 7, 2008
Traitor Man I was really stoked about seeing this movie, yet it lacked the most important elements that are fundamental for me to enjoy it. Emotion, spirit and character. It was done well and may be due to my ignorance a brilliant portrayal of the players in the world of terrorism I just did not see that. It just did not do it for me. Great acting, not enough emotion. The characters were either apathetic or numb. Could be spot on with CIA, FBI and terrorists....fuck if I know. fb592119603 Sep 7, 2008
Babylon A.D. ugh, this was a bad film, although i am not surprised considering even its own director was bashing the film (saying fox execs butchered it). it makes me sad that some great actors signed up for this piece of crap. besides vin diesel's atrocious acting, there are just tons of plot holes, and whoever wrote the script just does not know how to do pacing. also, the last 20 minutes felt like a completely different movie and the ending leaves you sitting there thinking "wtf?". this film had huge potential because it had many unique ideas and awesome visuals, but nothing was really expanded upon. sigh, such a waste... fb2401495 Jul 14, 2008
Traitor Good movie. Well made and ended doing a good job of separating terrorists from muslims. It also kept you guessing and going! fb64101026 Sep 7, 2008
Babylon A.D. Was alright till torward the end then it was just lacking like alot of people are saying. And if they do have a directors cut hopefully the extra footage makes it better. fb1105595227 Sep 7, 2008
Bangkok Dangerous Skip the title and the bad trailer. It's a well made noir with some logic errors but still nonetheless entertaining. Finally, Nicholas Cage gets back to giving a passable performance. fb312400059 Sep 7, 2008
Babylon A.D. A misguided film. The action was well paced, but poorly shot and edited. Characters were portrayed well, but not written or explored properly. And in the end, the plot answered all of your questions, and was original and fun, but was banking on an emotional attachment to flat and bland characters. The perfect template for a remake or reimagining if I've ever seen it. fb3628364 Sep 7, 2008
Disaster Movie Not very funny...There are some scenes that may cause to break out in some serious laughter, but the rest of the movie is full of yawns and gets annoying fast...Most of the references to the recent hits occur in the first 35 minutes, which are the best minutes of the movie. Acting is sub-par and repetitive. I wouldn't watch this again...Wait for the DVD... fb30500816 Sep 7, 2008
Bangkok Dangerous Ugh. Nicolas Cage killing people, surrounded by other plot elements that made no sense. I was occasionally entertained by the action scenes, but mostly this movie just made me feel kind of gross. fb685420194 Sep 7, 2008
Bangkok Dangerous Boring, lack of originality, mediocre acting (and that's being generous) and pointless. I was disappointed to say the least. fb513199574 Sep 7, 2008
Bangkok Dangerous It had genuine potential, and some interesting moments, but on the whole, it never really came together, it had very strange pacing, and never really pulled you in. fb178900977 Sep 7, 2008
Babylon A.D. I actually enjoyed it more than expected. Sure it was violent but not as stupid as Kassovitz said. Even if I completely understand why he would be pissed about the final cut. Where is the ending??!! Definitely want to see the director's cut on DVD. fb538896751 Sep 7, 2008
Bangkok Dangerous I love Nicolas Cage. Sometimes his acting is absolutely amazing (Adaptation), while other times it can be ridiculously bad (Ghost Rider)... and yet either way, I am impressed. That said, I've been looking forward to seeing Bangkok Dangerous since I first heard about it. When it was recently revealed that it would not have a screening for critics -- usually a sign that a movie is very bad -- I was elated. This was certainly going to be extraordinary. When I went to see the movie, it had a 9% on RottenTomatoes: the lowest of any of Nicolas Cage's films. Let's get right to the point. There are two other Cage films which I look to in regards to hilariously bad filmmaking -- Next and The Wicker Man. This movie is probably better made than either of those, but it is the least funny of the three. Which isn't to say that it isn't hysterical, only that it doesn't stand up to the masterpieces that have come before. Cage plays an assassin named... Joe. Near the beginning of the film, there is an elaborate assassination scene, after which Cage proclaims dryly: "My name is Joe. This is what I do." Joe is in Bangkok in order to carry out four assassinations, taking on a sidekick and a love interest along the way. Somehow, this is really a love story at heart -- about a killer who learns the meaning of love by hanging out with a deaf pharmacist and a wise-talking thief. It's difficult to explain why the movie is so fun without giving away major events. There's a pointless dinner scene that almost rivals the classic "zen master and a hot dog" joke from Next for sheer comedy value. There's a scene with an elephant that is sort of creepy in its the sexual metaphor that may lie underneath. And then there's the final shot, which is just unbelievable in how unnecessary and faux-artsy it is. Bangkok Dangerous is a spectacular film. See it with friends. Don't listen to what other reviewers are saying: it's got great action scenes and will not let down fans of Cage's other unintentional comedies. Wonderful stuff here. fb20612873 Mar 6, 2008
Babylon A.D. As long as you don't care about the movie's ending - the 1 hour and 30 minutes you spent for watching the actions, will be well spent. Expecting a mind stimulating ending for a movie like this? You must be joking. fb764389493 Sep 7, 2008
Traitor Action-packed and fast-moving, but somewhat predictable. Good overall. And of course Don Cheadle is always fantastic! fb551073041 Sep 7, 2008
Bangkok Dangerous Not that original a plot, predictable. It got boring after some time, could have been more exciting. Still watchable enjoyable though... Seriously, what's with Cage's hair? *sighs* madw0lfie Sep 7, 2008
Bangkok Dangerous Finally a good hitman movie. This is more of what I expected out of the actual Hitman movie. I thought that Nicolas Cage's character was perfect for this movie. I also thought the 4 rules he had would be the 4 rules a hitman would have in real life. The only 2 things that made this movie bad were 1. his haircut is horrible, and 2. the def girl he falls for and the sum what conversations they have between the two. But with that aside I thought that he was just such a bad ass that it was awesome. I mean the part where he puts the cell phone in the breifcase and it ends up back to the contractor and he picks up the phone and he says if you ever see one of your men again I will kill your wife and then theres a laser on her head and they go to look for him and he's gone just speaks volumes. I also thought the ending was greatly done. If your an action junky this movie is for you! darkstar6265 Sep 7, 2008
Traitor Simply by its title, we know "Traitor" has an ambitious goal. It's a film about a Sudanese Muslim who infiltrates an Islamic terrorist group to help stop an attack. The movie attempts to raise the question of who is betraying who - who is the traitor? Is Don Cheadle betraying his country? His religion? Or maybe its the terrorists who are betraying Islam. These are complex and worthy questions, and it's unfortunate the movie only softly asks the questions, and never makes much of an attempt to ever answer them. With a cast that includes Don Cheadle, Guy Pearce, and Jeff Daniels, this film had the makings of a movie with deep political and social commentary. But some great acting couldn't save a script without much emotion and direction without much drive. Instead, "Traitor" is sometimes boring and almost always uninteresting. fb1901372 Sep 7, 2008
Traitor Good story line, great acting (especially Don Cheadle) but it lacked something that I can't quite put my finger on. Maybe it was the lack of action, or the same old Iraqi storyline everyones trying to make a movie out of...but nevertheless, it was NOT this years Bourne Ultamatium...but a decent flick. fb7902418 Sep 7, 2008
Disaster Movie I say skip this movie. I loved the "Scary Movie" series, but this was not a good attempt at a movie spoof at all. fb62801295 Sep 7, 2008
Traitor I thought this movie was going to be totally differnt. Because I was like awesome Don Cheadle is amazing and another kind of Bourne movie with all kinds of sweet kung fu and shooting and action. Then on the drive there I realized that this movie is going to have like no action because the previews dont show that much. So I went in expecting a pretty deep plot where the good guy is having to be the bad guy and is trying to live with his decisions inorder to save a lot of people. And well that's what I got with a little spice of action, with a deep religious slice and then some drama. I thought the acting was great and some of the messages that were confayed in it made it that much better. The ending was pretty good also. All in all it was good and worth seeing once but I dont think i'd see it again. darkstar6265 Sep 7, 2008
Babylon A.D. I am dissapointed with this movie on sooooo many levels. I went into it thinking "this could be this generations Blade Runner", but now I realize it is what would have happened if Ridley Scott were a twelve year old on pot. It is a cheap, pathetic ripoff of both The Fifth Element and Blade Runner... Don't get me started on the lame "plot". LadiezMan217 Sep 7, 2008
Bangkok Dangerous Anything Cage is great, and this is no different. Not an action blockbuster like the Film company wants you to think, but is so much better. Go see it now! fb23202276 Sep 7, 2008
College Although these types of movies are cliche, I still liked this one. The fat guy is absolutely hilarious. I would honestly go just to watch him. fb743030462 Sep 7, 2008
Disaster Movie Pretty much wholeheartedly was the biggest disaster I've ever seen...Pumped out hollywood profit making slumps. I knew what I was in for, needless to say - it was a 9.50 i'll never get back. retrophiliac Sep 7, 2008
Bangkok Dangerous The whole time I was thinking it was fun yet predicatable, but it did manage to surprise me. Nic Cage was Nic Cage not much to say their I think my favorite thing was the lighting with several scenes in particular being quite visually interesting. spitball24 Sep 7, 2008
Babylon A.D. I enjoyed the beginning, but as the story progressed, it was obvious that the ratings are going down. The storyline has loopholes and doesn't even deliver half as good as XxX ever was. Ending was sucky for God's sake. fb505021189 Sep 7, 2008
Disaster Movie Not bad, lots of movie refrences in it, just like all the other movies that make fun of the popular movies. Ladybug1982 Aug 28, 2008
Ping Pong Playa You really need to see this movie if you are lucky enough for it to be screening in your town! Ask your friendly neighborhood theater to screen this super funny flick! fb1410038882 Sep 7, 2008
Traitor Don't go if you just want action. But a good film to think about the place of faith in war. Cheadle does a good job of portraying a man in conflict between ideologies as well as caught in the dilemma of making choices that violate his conscience in order to save lives. The film definitely attempts a fair representation of Islam. fb639906845 Sep 7, 2008
Traitor Thought-provoking thriller with some twists I didn't see coming. Chilling "inside" look at a terrorist organization, and a reminder of how a person's religious beliefs can be twisted. Don Cheadle is terrific, as always, and well-supported by an excellent cast. fb673512344 May 27, 2008
Bangkok Dangerous This film was ok but i wouldnt watch it again alot of it just made me think they ripped it off the film killer and the ending didnt even make any sence fb526993678 Sep 7, 2008
Bangkok Dangerous Very stupid. I hope the original story was better. And the worse part--Nick Cage doesn't even take his shirt off! fb527073403 Sep 7, 2008
