Unfortunately what ruin that fight scene was the other villains inference. One I personally enjoyed was when Tony Jaa fought against Nathan Jones a second which was entertaining and unbelievable how it was done. Out of all the fight scenes in this movie, only one really stand out and unfortunately it's a short one. Yeah that's right, average mainly due the unspectacular choreography in this movie. Time to talk about the action, one word, average. I blame the editing of this movie which makes the American version of this movie flow uneasily and and most of the acting in this movies doesn't help much. Unfortunately, Jaa followup to Ong-Bak wasn't as spectacular.Īs with any critic I would give an overall sentence describing the overall story of the movie, but this movie is so bad in story telling there no redeeming value.
Tony Jaa debut in Ong-Bak was absolutely amazing bring a fresh new star in martial arts film and single handily made Thailand action film popular. To be honest the film is worth seeing for those three fights, apart from that its business as usual with this action film. Add to this the following fight between Wushu expert John Foo and then a one off battle against wrestling strong man Nathan Jones which is impressive merely to see the size differences, think Bruce Lee v Kareem Abdul Jabbar. This one fight sequence is the most impressive fight I've seen in years, its fantastic, Crowder is amazing and almost too good to be true with his moves. The most impressive thing about the whole film is the MMA fight sequences (the basic reason for this movies existence) mainly the fight between Jaa and Capoeira fighter Lateef Crowder. Its very spectacular but I personally didn't get too engrossed.
The film itself is fine but its not really too original in any aspect, a simple revenge plot as usual and Jaa showing his skills yet again. The only problem is we have now seen all this before from various other martial arts experts. (aka Tom-Yum-Goong, The Warrior King, Thai Dragon, Revenge of the Warrior)Ī much hyped fight film from Muay Thai expert Tony Jaa with many many excellent stunts and chase sequences.
