It's a remake of a 1999 Asian crime film.

The remake is being directed by the same guys who did the original.

It's the Pang Brothers' remake of their own film. I don't know much about it besides that, other than the early word that it sucks.

However, the poster is glorious.

The Pang Brothers.

The original is quite good.

I didn't care much for the original.
This one has Teh Cage and therefore automatically improves on it.

That faux badass stare Cage has going on in that poster is simply priceless.

The original is pretty awesome. I think it's lame that they changed the main character from being deaf-mute in the original to having Cage's girlfriend being deaf-mute in the remake which was a big focal point of the original.

Nobody was blind in the original.

Come on, if they wanted to go all the way, they should've just had Nicolas Cage on the poster, and nothing else. I'll give them kudos for trying.

ahh...pang's earlier career. this brings back memory. i used to argue with someone on rt about pang being "wong kar thai". in retrospective, what's a load of crap! not only did he leave the tradition of WKW, but he also has became more and more a hong kong film maker.

Was it because Bangkok Dangerous seemed like a poor man's Fallen Angels?

indeed. ironically the big success of the eyes is the brothers' undoing. i don't like BD, but if they stick to that, eventually they might bloom into respectable film-maker duo. now they're just hollywood hacks.

I liked their explanation as to why they made the girl deaf-mute in this version:

"Um, it's Nic Cage. Who the fuck casts Nic Cage in a movie and not give him any lines?"

Indeed.

Did anyone post the trailer yet? It looks like Hitman.

Wow! That looks crazy! It's the little details really. The hair of course, but also the glasses, the hat, the fact that the motorbike explodes. Did Nic Cage just pay homage to his own The Rock?! "Hey dude, you just busted up your motorboat! It's not mine. And neither is this." VAVAVOOOOOOM!!

The way they present the title in the trailer is very...Midnight Meat Train-esque. It's an understatement to say I laughed, despite knowing what it was called.

This movie looks dumb. And yet, the action junkie within me wants to see it anyways. I'm expecting nothing less than high entertainment, coupled with Cage acting like he's a super cool badass when that's not at all realistic. Oh and of course if your a super cool badass killer you'll end up liking some cute chick, thus endangering her life and making yours even more complicated.
