AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks
Protraph Lack of good storyline.
Moustroll Good movie but grossly overrated
Tobias Burrows It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
raen74 This movie says it stars him, at least thats how they market it, but really hes barely in it. Don't be fooled. Its not a bad movie though, but if your like me, and the only reason you saw this movie was for Tony Jaa action, you'll definitely be disappointed. Hes almost not in the movie. I don't know why they ever advertise the fact hes in this at all.The movie however with that aside is actually quite funny. Like the people said before me, its got the cast from the other movies and is really a funny combination of humor. It barely had action and was almost a romantic comedy. Its really not a bad movie but its everything you wouldn't want. I can't believe I rented this movie,
healersmallbush The only reason I picked up this film in a market, is that on the front cover it promised 'the return of Tony Jaa'. Having seen Ongbak and warrior king, I saw this is a good thing. Only what I ended up with was a film write, directed and starring Petchtai Wongkamlao, the co-star from the other films.From the onset of the film, you get the impression that the film may be a decent action flick, with all the slow motion, dressed in black leather, gun fights aplenty. However this soon cools off, very soon, and you end up with the main star not talking for the first 22 minutes, gun fight scenes occurring with all the action being off-screen (yes I mean people getting shot without any real action) and jokes which really are not funny.A major half of the film contains now action and is mainly about Wong Koms association with Pok, which to be honest I couldn't be bothered to watch and skipped to the end (I was getting that fed up with the film).At the end where you expect a huge fight, what you end up with is the main guy getting beat up for 15 minutes, showing absolutely no fighting skill, and yet some how each person he's fighting ends up defeating themselves in some foolish way. This is stupid, is not funny and in the end I was rooting for the bad guys as the lead character was really annoying me.The film was 95 minutes long, and yet I want 93 minutes back. Why? Because during the film, Tony Jaa appears for about 2 minutes and actually does some martial arts (very very well!). What a mis-sell! This film should have been done by having Tony Jaa in the lead role, and Petchtai Wongkamlao taking Tony Jaas, that way he probably would have been killed early on and there would have been a decent number of fight scenes at the end.This is not a martial arts film, it is not a comedy, it is 2 minutes of good film hidden within 93 minutes of film that makes Chuck Norris look good.I gave this a 2, which would have been 1 of Tony Jaa hadn't appeared.
smiley-32 I saw this movie a while ago.. I must admit, it was very funny.. The idea of this bodyguard WongKom, who gets fired after the death of his client is just of those clichés.But then later on, WongKom realises that a group of assassins are after the client's son, so that they can their hands on the fortune..There were some funny scenes, good one liners.. Fights scenes and shoot out scenes, they were great.. Just like what you may've seen in another film ONG-BAK..I think with this guy Petchai WongKomlao.. I think he'll be Asia's next Jackie Chan. So he used to be a comedian, unlike another Asian favourite, Takeshi Kitano.. But now as he takes the director's chair.. He really gave the film a good going over.. with all the thrills and spills of any action movie and combined with a bit of a slapstick humour just to add to all the fun..I manage to see the behind-the-scenes featurette, which basically looks at the film on how it was made, as well as having the cast and crew interviews.. Well, not much crews.. But I must say, I've enjoyed it..It was very good! A thumbs up! 9 out of 10!
SanShow I only watched this because of the cast from Ong Bak was in it and to my great surprise it was one of the funniest movies I have seen. I was not expecting much because I thought it would just be plain silly and not so funny. But I was not so wrong, it was silly, but so funny that sometimes I found myself cleaning the floor when I was rolling on it. In such movies you have begin it on a high and they surely managed it with the shootout. And during the rest of the movie I never took the smile of my face. That's how comedies should be! Great job by Petchtai Wongkamlao and fantastic cameo appearance by Tony Jaa. But the best was the bald guy who ends the movie really on a high.
