Plot
A trained American Hitman, Joe has four rules: know when to get out, erase every trace, take no interest in people outside work, and ask no questions. He goes to Bangkok for a month-long assignment, to kill four people for Bangkok ganglord Surat.
He hires pickpocket Kong as his go-between, a condition of the contract being that the gang will never meet Joe. Target details from the Bangkok gangsters are delivered to Kong via a nightclub dancer, Aom, with whom Kong becomes romantically involved.
Joe's first execution is done in traffic with him riding a bike. A little girl is in the way, so Joe rides round the block and stops in front of the car, where he shoots the target with a machine pistol. During his getaway, he gets a graze on his arm and goes to a chemist shop, where he meets Fon, a beautiful deaf-mute who sells him his pills.
His second target is a ganglord and sexual predator who buys young girls from the North and sells them for sex. Joe sneaks into the penthouse, but cannot find him. Joe ventures out to the pool and finds the ganglord and Joe drowns his target in the pool.
He asks Fon to dinner the next day. She shows him some of the gentle beauty of life. Fon asks no questions, but when Fon's mother asks about Joe's work, he says he is a banker.
Originally he plans to kill Kong before he leaves, but after Kong gives him information about the second target, he begins to train Kong. Kong thinks Joe is a good man, who kills bad men; Joe always replies that they are "bad for someone".
Before the third kill, the gang attempts to identify Joe and he warns them off. For the third execution, the kill does not go as planned, with the target nearly getting away before Kong assists Joe; Joe catches the target after a chase and shoots him.
Muggers attack Joe while Fon is strolling ahead; behind her, Joe shoots them unheard, but when she is spattered with blood, she is appalled and runs away from him.
Kong describes the Prime Minister of Thailand as a good man whom the people love; but the Prime Minister is the fourth target. Politicians are risky to assassinate, and outside Joe's contract. The gang capture Kong and Aum, intending (as is Joe's practice) to erase every trace. Joe is about to make the kill when he remembers Fon's anguish, has second thoughts, is spotted, and escapes through a panicking crowd.
Joe is now a target and is attacked at his house by four gang members. He manages to use explosives to take them out. He calls on Fon, who refuses to see him. He is faced with the choice of rescuing Kong or leaving the country unharmed. Breaking all his rules, Joe decides to rescue Kong, so he sets off to the gang's headquarters with one of the half-alive attackers who was injured in the explosion.
Joe kills most of the gang and saves Kong and Aom. The fearful gang leader flees to his car with three accomplices. Joe spots him and shoots and kills the gang members at the front of the car. As the police arrive at the location, Joe kills the last of the henchmen in the back of the carhim, then gets into the back seat with Surat, the gang leader.
Joe is in a difficult situation, surrounded by armed police. He remember's Fon's disgust, puts both his and Surat's heads together, then puts the gun up to his temple and pulls the trigger, killing himself and Surat. The final scene shows Kong standing alone by the dock, looking out to the distance.
Production
The original film's main character is a deaf hitman, whose disability makes him a fearless, unflinching gunman. That character has been changed in the remake. "We'd like to keep him the same, but we understand that from a marketing point of view Nic needs to have some lines," Oxide was quoted as saying in the New York Times. "So what we’re going to do is transform his girlfriend instead into a deaf [mute]. This switch will maintain the drama of communication between the two main characters
Reception
As of December 13, the film has a 9% approval rating based on 86 reviews from critics at the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes.[7] Based on the bloody finale and depressing conclusion, Ross Fleming, British reviewer in Hong Kong, sarcastically referred to the film as 'the feel-good movie of the year'. At the website Metacritic, which utilizes a normalized rating system, the film earned a rating of 24 out of 100 based on 16 reviews
Box office
The film has grossed $15,298,133 domestically and $25,434,817 abroad, adding up to a worldwide gross of $40,732,950.[9] However, the film grossed $7.8 million on its opening weekend making this the first film since Dickie Roberts: Former Child Star to debut at number 1 with such a low gross. Lionsgate distribution topper Steve Rothenberg said, "It will be a nicely profitable film for us
