I'm new to Thai films, but I find some to be of high production value with excellent story. Ong Bak 2 fits this bill.
I was intrigued to see this film because at first it seemed to be a period piece about certain point in Thai history. So I was eager to learn much about it. Then I came to understand that this is actually a martial arts film. This was my first exposure to Tony Jaa.
I was impressed to say the least of all the action,the exciting story, and Jaa's screen presence. The movie is beautifully shot with new kind of exotic looks that's never been explored in western films.
If this is the direction Thai films are taking, their future is bright, and I would like to see more movies of this kind to come from Thailand.
