Bangkok Dangerous
It looks like the first trailer available for Nicolas Cage's Bangkok Dangerous wasn't the finalized version. Lionsgate has released the film's official version, which not only looks better than the other version, but it runs for almost a minute longer.
Bangkok Dangerous Trailer
The life of an anonymous assassin takes an unexpected turn when he travels to Thailand to complete a series of contract killings. Joe (Nicolas Cage), a remorseless hitman, is in Bangkok to execute four enemies of a ruthless crime boss named Surat. He hires Kong (Shahkrit Yamnarm), a street punk and pickpocket, to run errands for him with the intention of covering his tracks by killing him at the end of the assignment. Strangely, Joe, the ultimate lone wolf, instead finds himself mentoring the young man while simultaneously being drawn into a tentative romance with a local shop girl. As he falls further under the sway of Bangkok's intoxicating beauty, Joe begins to question his isolated existence and let down his guard... just as Surat decides it's time to clean house.
If there is any lesson here, it is that we should never write Nicolas Cage off. Though he's had more than his fair share of misses of recent, everything about Bangkok Dangerous looks pretty good; including Cage's incredibly smooth skin.
Bangkok Dangerous opens to theaters on August 22nd.
