45 New Pics from the Pangs' 'Bangkok Dangerous'
This is one of those conflicting films

Nic Cage contemplates if he should ever learn to act. |
Don't you hate it when a new movie is coming out and you want to say, "Yeah, can't wait to see that one," but there is that one issue that gives you pause? The upcoming Lionsgate release Bangkok Dangerous is an example of a film that does that for me.
I am whole heartedly interested in seeing what Danny and Oxide Pang are going to bring to the table even if I wasn't interested in seeing The Messengers. These brothers have vision and a little crime drama involving a "cold-blooded hitman" sounds like something up my alley. However, there's a catch… that hitman is being played by one of the most notable over-actors of all-time: Mr. Nic Cage. Yikes, doesn't anyone even try directing this guy?
This is not to say I haven't liked any of Cage's films. National Treasure is tolerable, Adaptation is pretty good and Face/Off is a surprisingly fun film as Travolta and Cage challenge each other to an over-acting… well… face-off.
What's ahead in Bangkok Dangerous? I don't know, I am avoiding trailers as much as I can now to save the surprise for the big black room, but if you are so inclined you can check out a fleet of 45 new pictures we just received for the film by clicking right here or on the pic above and see what you think.
Bangkok Dangerous is set to hit theaters on August 22, but this one is coming from Lionsgate so let's just call that a tentative release date for now (they change their minds a lot unless it involves Tyler Perry).

I am not a Cage hater like you, I actually like him. I will give you this much: his last few films have been atrocities (Ghost Rider, The Wicker Man, Next). But cmon, Matchstick Men was incredible (one of his best performances), The Family Man was actually quite good, The Rock is an action classic, and The Weather Man is unbelievably hilarious.
I will admit his popcorn flicks are enjoyable. I didn't really like Matchstick Men (loved Rockwell in it though). To me he is Keanu Reeves with a worse agent. Reeves is not a great actor (even though he has gotten better), but the best thing about Reeves is that he choses projects that match his acting style. Cage goes for these characters and then he plays them WAY OVER THE TOP.
My favorite Cage film for his acting is easily Adaptation and popcorn wise I would say National Treasure. I am always willing to give his films a chance, but I have come to know what to expect from him.
