| I don't speak Thai, so these non-subtitled Thai films are hard to judge in terms of story or performance. The action was disappointing compared to Panna Rittikrai's usual. A lof of the action was shot way too close with too much quick cutting. There are lots of muay thai kickboxing matches, but only one or two of them are really that enjoyable. The film starts with nearly 20 minutes of kickboxing matches, which I thought was odd to put so much action in the front. Once again, Tony Jaa's fight is easily the best, even though he possibly has his smallest cameo ever. Between his acrobatics and a few other good fighters, there's some good stuff in that scene. I think this might be Tony Jaa's first on screen appearance ever. I wish they gave Oong Soo Han more to do. His technique might have worked well in a more proper fight. At one point, enjoying this film really came down to the finale, and it was really bad, mostly shot in close up to avoid the non-existent audience.
This movie also stole music from the Rocky soundtrack (I believe to Rocky 4). |
