"Bangkok Dangerous"
2000
Directed by Oxide Pang/Danny Pang

A mute custodian is revealed to be a crackerjack marksman and is taken under the wing of a professional hitman. When his mentor is gunned down in an act of betrayal, his pupil sets out to even the score. "There are moments when Tarantino and Peckinpah come to mind, but the Pangs are, not surprisingly, more reminiscent of Wong Kar-wai in style and John Woo in their ability to combine camaraderie and carnage" (Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times). Thai with English subtitles. 105 minutes.
