| Bangor Daily News (Maine)Christopher SmithHere's a note to Nicolas Cage: Your stylist hates you. Your director and screenwriters? Not so far behind. |
| eFilmCritic.comRob GonsalvesBeen there, seen that. But it's not the notes, it's how Cage plays them. |
| Advocate (Baton Rouge, LA)John WirtNot to be a contrarian, but as predictable as the movie is, its events often feel as if there were no alternative. The Pang brothers, besides being artisans of action and suspense, tell a good story -- or maybe I'm simply suffering from heat and Hurricane |
| Spectrum (St. George, Utah)Bruce BennettThe film isn't overtly heavy-handed in its violence, but it doesn't provoke enough surprises to keep the mind from drifting -- a poison pill for an action film. |

| Times (UK)James ChristopherThe Pang brothers take full advantage of their Hollywood budget to paint Bangkok skyscrapers in shimmering midnight blues. |
| Movie RetrieverBrian TallericoBangkok Dangerous is so deadly dull that it's really not even worth writing or reading about, much less taking the time to see. |
| Film Journal InternationalEthan AlterTry as they might, the Pangs can't cover the gaping hole at the center of the film where a charismatic leading man should be. |
