“Bangkok” doesn’t inspire much from the trailer, although Mark, of course, is a colorful actor.
I somehow missed this, is “The Driver” already available to watch? And there seems to be something else going on with him with one of the Indonesians?
Wave,
You can already watch “The Driver” and “Bangkok”. Everything is out and available.
Danil Chupakhin, I didn’t like “The Driver” at all. I don't feel like watching Bangkok. I remembered that I meant “something by the Indonesians” - “Wu Assassins”. This is something you need to watch again.
