But I know people will definitely be disappointed in the amount of action, especially after a 3 year wait. As a film, it is much more accomplished than ONG BAK and TOM YUM GOONG. He knows how to build the mood and shoots everything in an almost sinister light. Jaa is 20 times more talented as a director than Prachya Pinkaew.

It has incredible production values and the level of detail is fantastic. He has a very impressive stunt where he flips onto Tony (who is laid out on the elephant's tusks) and hits him right in the chest with his knees.Īll that said, I think it is a very well made film. He is dressed like a crow and kaws just like one. Dan Chupong's role is very small, but a great part. And, of course, they have to have the scene where an elephant saves the day. The scenes are very, very bloody as well. Jaa takes on about 30 ninjas and whoops some major ass here. The last 20 minutes is where a majority of the action is and it is pretty insane. Tony does do lots of different styles in here and my favorite part from this first hour is when he tests himself against three different guys (a swordsman, a kung fu man and a muay thai brawler).

The first hour has a few fights here and there, but for the most part they are short but very brutal. Rarely does Tony Jaa show off the flips that made him famous. This is a whole different kind of movie really.
