Tony Jaa is shaping up to take the martial art crown
By a customer from Westcliff , 19 May 2005[Highly rated reviewer]
Muay Thai - a particularly effective Thailand based martial art. This film has it and isn't afraid to use it.
The plot is fairly simple, but who wants complicated plots when the action is so smooth and in so much abundance.
A martial art film for martial art fans, lightly humoured and finally hitting our shores.
The film sometimes looks like a showcase for Tony Jaa, who, if the rumours are correct, could be the next Bruce Lee but definately the next Jackie Chan.
If you are growing tired of blue screen, unrealistic effects, too much wire work then this is the film for you. NO WIRES, NO STUNT DOUBLES and NO CGI!
Look to the east for more action films, Thailand should be sitting proudly next to Hong Kong. America beware - your Hollywood glory days are numbered.

(533)Basic plot but fantastic action for fight fans
By a customer , 17 Feb 2013This is a must for any martial arts fan, the fight sequences a brutal yet elegant, the sheer speed of some of Jaa's moves is incredible, hence the multi angle replays during certain scenes. The plot is a fairly basic with very few twists and turns but genre fans don't tend to watch this kind of film for the plot alone. anyone who appreciates great martial arts/kung-fu really ought to see this film.- Was this review helpful to you?
