If you're bored on a cold rainy afternoon and feel like blobbing instead of going outside and doing something fun, this might be for you.

If some intense and well-choreographed fight scenes and some gore are your thing, even better.

The main thing is that you have to be able to switch off your brain (don't think too much about what's going on), don't get annoyed by horrible dialogue and ignore piss-poor acting for the most part and a storyline that makes hardly any sense at all.

As for the fight-scenes: some of them are quite exquisite, even though others employ silly things that you'd normally only see in old-school fly-by-wire Chinese Kung-Fu films which wouldn't work in a real-world setting.

In a nutshell, this movie has extremely limited entertainment value. The script is poorly written. The acting is marginal even at its best. The martial arts action is simply intense. Unfortunately, this is typical of martial arts action movies. If you don't like insane fight sequences linked by mostly meaningless dialogue then this movie isn't for you. There is a story in the movie, but frankly it isn't really important to the chain of fight sequences. There is absolutely no character development here, nor was there any attempt or intent on having any. It is just mindless action fun, and nothing else.

I had not heard about this 2024 action movie titled "Bangkok Dog", from director Chaya Supannarat, prior to sitting down and watching it here in 2025.

The storyline in the movie was adequate. Writer Laurence Walsh put together a fair enough script, one that combined some crime elements with action elements. If you enjoyed the abundance of action movies from the late 1980s and well into the 1990s, then you would definitely also find some enjoyment in "Bangkok Dog". While I found the storyline to be adequate, it should also be noted that you can essentially just switch off your brain here and just watch the action. Yeah, writer Laurence Walsh didn't exactly require much investment from the audience.

I was not familiar with the cast ensemble in the movie, but they had a good ensemble of actors and actresses, and I will say that the acting performances in the movie were fair.

There is a good amount of action and fighting in the movie, which definitely helped spruce up the movie. While D. Y. Sao certainly can fight, it just gets very annoying and tedious to watch him standing with him mouth wide open and having a constipated expression on his face after every single punch he throws. And the action sequences look good, if you can distract from the constipated expression of D. Y. Sao.

My rating of director Chaya Supannarat's 2024 movie "Bangkok Dog" lands on a six out of ten stars.

Some fight scenes are decent - especially Benz, very natural and believable. He really carried the movie. But Kaitlyn... man, acting was flat, no emotion at all. One scene was even funny - she still had a tissue plug in her mouth when she could've just spit it out, looked silly. The lead guy, honestly - so much overacting, every move was exaggerated and over the top. His fighting looked too flashy and unrealistic at times - haaay. I enjoy these kinds of films (John Wick, Equalizer), but this one lacked real tension because of weak acting. Only gave it 3/10 because of Benz and some fight choreography. Could have been much better.
