For a long time, Hollywood didn’t quite know what to do with Mark Dacascos. He starred in the live-action movie adaptation of the video gameDouble Dragonin the early ’90s, bounced around in generic martial arts-heavy roles, and starred in aThe CrowTV series as the millennium came to a close. But in the past decade or so, he’s seemed to age into some better roles, popping up on shows likeAgents of S.H.I.E.L.D.andHawaii Five-0and really leaning into his particular set of skills.
Last year, he made a movie calledThe Driverwith Thai directorWych Kaosayananda. The two must have enjoyed working together, because they reunited almost immediately for this year’sOne Night in Bangkok, which casts Dacascos as a righteous assassin, the kind of role that makes it just a little bit easier for the audience to root for him than it was to root for Tom Cruise’s ruthless, jazz-loving killer inCollateral. Here’s the official synopsis forOne Night in Bangkok:
A hitman named Kai flies into Bangkok, gets a gun, and orders a cab. He offers a professional female driver big money to be his all-night driver. But when she realizes Kai is committing brutal murders at each stop, it’s too late to walk away. Meanwhile, an offbeat police detective (Kane Kosugi,Tekken: Kazuya’s Revenge) races to decode the string of slayings before more blood is spilled. This chilling action-thriller—a homage toCollateral, with a shocking twist—stars Mark Dacascos (John Wick: Chapter 3 — Parabellum).
One Night in Bangkokarrives on DVD and Digital onAugust 25,2020.
