One Night in Bangkok trusts its audience to sit with discomfort instead of resolving it too quickly. A hit man 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. Mark Dacascos and Vanida Golten lead a cast that treats the material with real seriousness. It hit screens in 2020. One Night in Bangkok resists tidy resolutions in a way that respects how messy real consequences actually are. There is real craft here, even in the moments that do not fully land.
