About:

A hitman (Cage) in Bangkok to pull off a series of jobs falls for a local woman and bonds with his errand boy. Perhaps this Pang Brothers remake would be more interesting (and/or tolerable) if Nic Cage could have been convinced to play his character as a deaf-mute hitman as the original story goes. Though they certainly have a cult following, the Pangs's brand of horror hasn't taken off with mainstream audiences here, what with their meddling English-language debut and that barely there remake with J'Alba achieving back-to-back strikeouts. Our suggestion: Scrap this version, redevelop the remake with a bankable Asian star (Chow-Yun Fat, Jet Li), set the story in the U.S., and watch the receipts roll in. Though we certainly will acknowledge that the movie will probably rake it in across Asia.
