I think the reason it was remade was the copious subtitles required of a Thai film, but the idea, plot, and execution were pretty good. Only, we were offered the Nicholas Cage version on the cable channel, which confused greatly. Seen objectively, it's a good foreign film that happens to center on a hit man. The hits are not the point, tho. The point is how a human being decides that killing others is okay. This logic engine wants ten lines; I don't like being wordy. The acting is good, the characterization is good, and when it looks as if the stripper friend is going to get raped, hit the fast forward because she does. Little is shown, and it's integral to the plot because it is what starts Kong on his self-determination that leads to his destruction.
