Epic disconnect between Ong-Bak and this movie... this is completely joyless, faux-pretentious, gross-out violence porn. It's Jaa so the fights are good, but ugh.
@1 Agreed. Shame it should share the Ong-Bak name. It is totally disjointed, confusing and ridiculous. The music is poorly chosen and placed, the subplots completely abandoned, and the ending is stupid. Even the cool martial arts are so overedited that you can't tell he's actually doing it or if they just spliced it together to make it look like he is. Ugh.
i thought it was awesome, like the last Rambo movie awesome. incredibly interesting ways of killing and maiming without the use of guns. violence, violence and more violence. it needs not a plot.
