If you're expecting anything close to Ong Bak or Tom Yam Gong, please re-evaluate and lower your expectations to the lowest possible.I walked into this movie not having any expectations for the story but fully to witness the glory of Muay Thai action at its best by Tony Jaa. Even that proved insufficient in managing my utter disappointment...
The story was mediocre and the most unbearable part was the prolonged scenes that did nothing to compliment the action but only seem to lengthen the movie, which it did perfectly cause I truly cannot wait for the movie to end.
The major let down was the action scenes which only consisted of 30% of the movie and only 10% showcased the splendid art of Muai Thai which was always quite intense. The rest is a mess of Kung Fu, Silat and everything else... Even Kenjitsu (Way of the Samurai Sword) somehow found its way into the film??? A classic case of trying too hard to do too much but falling short in every aspect.
Tony we Love you for giving us Tom Yam Gong but please stick to what you do best cause that is exactly why we Love you...
I would not even recommend anyone to watch this movie let alone bring a date.
