A promising film about a hit man that ultimately gets wacked because its star isn't suited for the role at all.

Cage is believable as the brooding lone-wolf gunman, but the "hit man screwing himself by growing a conscience on his final kill" ploy needs to be put down for good.

This is as stale as Tuesday's Phad Thai, from its exhausted mythos of the surgically efficient, omnipotent hit man to the training scenes in which Joe explains the trade to the new guy, to the inevitable betrayals of the third act.

While the film includes several exciting, creatively shot action scenes, the drama is otherwise so shopworn that the violent climax is a relief.

Just another cycle of bombast and boredom.

Between all the dates and dinners, Bangkok almost ends up being as less thriller and more travelogue; by the hour mark, there are literally more gulps than gunshots.

A by-the-numbers retread that's ill-conceived as an action vehicle for Cage.

This has the look of a cheap quickie foreign film, not unlike a Hong Kong action film.

At six foot plus, with his hair-plug mullet and his ice-white teeth, Cage sticks out like a sore thumb among the tiny Thai citizens, making for the most conspicuous hitman since Agent 47 rocked the bald head 'n' barcode combination.

Tediously monotonous.

Awatchable, but dull action flick with not enough body count to satisfy the average mixed martial arts fanboy.
