“One Night In Bangkok” (*1/2 out of four) was a flashy but empty action thriller about a grimly determined hitman (Mark Dacascos) who flies into Bangkok seeking vengeance for the death of his wife and child and hires an all-night cab driver (Vanida Golten) to drive him around until she discovers what he’s really up to. Result is such a brazen and ridiculous rip-off “Collateral” but let’s just be kind and say that Dacascos isn’t at the masterly level of Tom Cruise and writer/director Wych Kaosayananda is no Michael Mann. Golten’s strong performance and glossy cinematography by Kaosayananda are plusses but otherwise this is one mighty long night.
