Wow, although the standard "righteous out of place dude is and takes down bad established dudes and converts those on the fence" plot, this was okay...okay enough to get me to order the next 2. What is knarliest about this is the fighting. I am always into a good Kung Fu/Karate movie but after awhile, they get a bit tedious...especially within one fight, either dude is beaten about the head, face, and neck with chains, 2x4's, feet, shins, etc. over and over and keeps going.
There was a bit of that stuff here, but the fighting style was wild! It is Muay Thai and definitely different. Tony Jaa also tosses in some parkour to keep it interesting as well. This is not something to really go out of the way for, but it was pretty good. Acting was all good, directing is fine, music...well, it didn't get in the way, script was subtitles and not bad and cinematography was good in that there were no dark spots or anything. The only annoying part was the girl's voice. God, that was annoying.
