good, yet overrated
26 March 2006
in a t.v program they called Tony-Jaa "the new Bruce Lee", so I decided to give the movie a try.

Well, there is good Muay-Thay fighting and nice stunts. But, anyway, as i had practiced martial arts for several years, I can say that Bruce Lee is way better than Tony-Jaa when it comes to fight. The movie is also very predictable, just like this kind of movies are. Tony-Jaa's voice is a little annoying, a lot of sequences were there just to show how good Tony-Jaa is at fighting, and even though they said that Tony-Jaa doesn't use wires, i noticed one:

in the beginning of the film, in the tree sequence, comes a moment in which Tony-Jaa jumps from branch to branch, look at the top of the screen: there's a white wire going out of Tony's back.

in spite of all that, is nice fun, yet overrated
