Bangkok Dangerous

Hitman Joe (Nicolas Cage) goes to Bangkok on an assignment to kill four people. He hires pickpocket Kong (Shahkrit Yamnarm) as his assistant and meets a beautiful mute girl along the way.

Joe is given the contract by Bangkok gangsters who communicate with Joe through Kong and a dancer who becomes romantically involved with Kong.

Joe breaks his own rule of not getting involved with people on his missions and takes Kong under his wing because he sees Kong as a younger version of himself. Kong regularly comments on, and asks about Joe's victims being bad people; this awakens Joe's conscience. Joe takes out three 'bad men' who are as Joe says to Kong "bad for somebody". In the third killing Kong assists Joe and the kill does not go as planned with the target nearly getting away before Joe catches him and shoots him after a chase in front of many shocked onlookers.

His fourth target is a politician and therefore a difficult target resulting in Joe demanding more money. The gangsters intend to kill Joe to avoid the murder being traced back to them, as Joe sets off to the location of the final kill the gangsters kidnap Kong and the dancer girl and use them to find Joe's safe house. The target politician is beloved by the people, including Kong. As a result Joe hesitates when he is about to shoot him, which results in him being spotted by the police who fire at him leaving the assassination attempt a failure.

Joe has now become the target and having evaded the police is attacked at his house by four gang members; he manages to use explosives to take them out and is faced with the choice of rescuing Kong or leaving the country unharmed. Joe decides to rescue Kong so sets off to the gangs HQ with one of the half-alive attackers who was injured in the explosion at Joe's safe house.
