| Bangkok Dangerous (1999) | Patharawarin Timkul "An attractive Asian woman smokes several times in the first half of the film, sometimes sort of impatiently but other times quite flirtatiously. Her exhales are thick and the lighting shows them pretty well." "Four scenes from this Thai stunner. The first two are pretty good, but are just setups for the next two, which are absolute standouts. In the first of these, she dangles then lights up at a restaurant, with several well-lit exhales and a fantastic triple-pump inhale preceding the last one. In the second, she's smoking in a bar. We see a couple of drags, then a guy approaches to try to pick her up. During their exchange, filmed in tight close-up, she exhales once in profile, thick and perfectly lit, with a slight secondary nostril exhale. Then, again with perfect backlighting, she takes a long, hard drag, exhales slowly into his face, then talks out the rest of her exhale as she rebuffs him. All this in the first 25 minutes -- there's nothing after that, but what more do we need?"
