An action-packed slog
Taraparain
Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity

Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

My boyfriend and I watched this movie only because it advertised Tony Jaa in it. To later find, that he was only in ONE SCENE is very disappointing. Even more disappointing is the poorly executed "comedy" and so called "action" scene. I think they could have done a much better job with this movie, considering the actors they had. We actually, don't mind watching some these corny movies every now and then as long as we are prepared for it. Although, we enjoy watching some these actors in some of the other movies they've done, don't expect the same type of caliber in this movie. So, if you are going to watch this movie with the expectation of watching Tony Jaa, or any type of martial arts, or decent comedy do not waste your time.

i was say i was very disappointed in this movie, being that on the DVD cover was a picture of Tony Jaa.so i thought he would be in a great deal of the movie along with that other guy. but i was wrong tony jaa had ONE DAMN SCENE. and that guy who plays the body guard was not funny, and i don't know what kind of dope the guy was smoking to make him say he is asia's next Jackie Chan.as far as action or lack there of their was'nt the shooting scene suck(not of John Woo Caliber at all) and the wires used in the stunts where so obvious. this movie only saving grace is the it happy some halfway decent comedy dialogue. but if your looking for action this is not the movie to get.

I cannot say too much about this... errs... film (if it can be named that way)... It's simply boring: non-interesting plot, non-interesting action scenes, and non-interesting "supposed-to-be-funny" gags. The plot is a kind of never ending nonsense. I can accept things like this in some surreal and absurd humour pieces -like Monthy Piton's films, which are absolutely great- but not in a... let's say... "normal" movie. I mean, the only thing I expect from an action movie is to entertain me. If, as well as being amusing, it is a good film, so much the better. But the only thing I can say is that IT'S BORING!!! I expected to have, at least, spectacular action scenes, since Tony Jaa is among the cast... My hopes were in vain. To sum up, this is only recommendable if you have problems to get to sleep!

I saw this movie a while ago.. I must admit, it was very funny.. The idea of this bodyguard WongKom, who gets fired after the death of his client is just of those clichés.But then later on, WongKom realises that a group of assassins are after the client's son, so that they can their hands on the fortune..There were some funny scenes, good one liners.. Fights scenes and shoot out scenes, they were great.. Just like what you may've seen in another film ONG-BAK..I think with this guy Petchai WongKomlao.. I think he'll be Asia's next Jackie Chan. So he used to be a comedian, unlike another Asian favourite, Takeshi Kitano.. But now as he takes the director's chair.. He really gave the film a good going over.. with all the thrills and spills of any action movie and combined with a bit of a slapstick humour just to add to all the fun..I manage to see the behind-the-scenes featurette, which basically looks at the film on how it was made, as well as having the cast and crew interviews.. Well, not much crews.. But I must say, I've enjoyed it..It was very good! A thumbs up! 9 out of 10!
