BANGKOK DANGEROUS: FACT OR FICTION?

Apologies if you've arrived here thinking there have been major developments in the current State of Emergency in Bangkok. Thankfully there have been few new significant developments this afternoon and Bangkok remains a safe place to be.
The headline of this post refers to a new movie which is set for a North American release in two days time. Talk about perfect timing!
According to Wikipedia the film features a hit man (Nicholas Cage) who comes to Bangkok on an assignment to kill four people.
Two of the strap lines to this movie are pretty apt and arguably describe the current situation for Prime Minister Samak (There's only one way out), and the sad outcome of Tuesday morning's clashes (One man, one shot, one bullet).
I can't imagine those charged with promoting Thailand overseas are especially thrilled with the timing of this release, but on the flip side I guess the producers are thinking they couldn't have timed it better.
