Just as Japan is now the place to go for quality horror films that are genuinely frightening, so it seems Thailand is the place to look for action movies that are genuinely thrilling. Reviewed by Leofwine_draca 9 / 10 Top tier influential Thai martial arts action Tony Jaa might not be a great actor, but he is the new action phenomenon! He's only made two movies so it's too soon to call him other things or even to say that he has a rightful claim to challenge Jet Li/J.Chan/Bruce Lee/Donnie Yen/Sammo Hung/. Of course some of his enemies (stunt doubles) have used wires (as is said in the extras of the excellent UK double Disc Set of this movie). Still as it is and with the knowledge that at least Tony Jaa didn't use any ropes/wires or other tricks to help him out, do his tricks, you've got to be impressed. If it were only for the action it'd get a 10/10. This movie is not about the plot! It's all about the action! And it delivers! If you let yourself step into that world of improved Muy Thai (I hope I spelled it right, it's an art form that Tony Jaa and some other guys re-invented, I don't know all the influences they used/put into, but it sure looks damn good on screen!), then you will be blown away! This movie is in other words "off the hook", it's great. and if you've tried it, just stop right now.
