Yet another movie not screened for critics?

It’s a remake of an Asian film, and it stars Nicolas Cage, who has starred in such critics-shunning films as The Wicker Man (2006) and Ghost Rider (2007). So it is not all that surprising to see Cinema Blend and other sites reporting that there will be no press screenings for Bangkok Dangerous, which opens September 5.

AUG 27 UPDATE: The film opened in France today, so Variety has posted its review, and their critic, Jordan Mintzer, basically finds it underwhelming. The IMDb says the film opened in Spain five days ago, so in theory Variety could have run a review of it back then, but I guess they might not have any stringers there.
