Ong Bak 2004 ★★★½

Watched May 25, 2012

It's amazing stunts and fight scenes overshadow it's poor narrative and script. Your brain will remind you that the story you're watching is simple and lazy, but you won't care because you know it leads to another fight scene unlike anything you've seen before.

It's too raw and unfocused to be compared to the usual list of suspects that have made martial arts films in Hong Kong (Jackie Chan, Jet Li, Donnie Yen) but Muay Thai is different enough from most Chinese martial arts that it does bring something different to the table that is very enjoyable to watch.
