Just how low can you go, Nicky?


his was bad. I mean, really bad. Baaaaaad.....

Who was the "hair and MU artist" for Nick Cage anyhow, I wonder?

At one point in time, when for no apparent reason whatsoever Cage takes on Kong as his apprentice assassin, I thought maybe we'll be seeing a mild, low-quality re-make of 1972's "The Mechanic" (directed by Michael Winner), when pro assassin Charles Bronson takes on as his apprentice Jan Michael Vincent. But no, this film here could not even carry with that age-old thread. Lightning only strikes once, it seems.

Only watchable part was the boat chase sequence, but even then poor photography, merciless killing of nature's wonderful colors, and choppy editing made it borderline watchable, least of all enjoyable.

As far as the ending, it had to have been the worst ever in any movie. It blew my mind that a movie with this sort of an "ending" gets made in the first place, let alone then gets released. I guess there is no justice in this world, after all.

Regarding how Bangkok and Thailand in general came off in this movie, heck, if this is how Thailand looked like in real life, I don't think they would have a single foreign tourist visiting there.

This movie was like having sand and tabasco fired into my eyes with a high pressure hose, while someone stabbed me in the ears. If you liked it, your brain doesn't work properly.
