Who would have thought an action movie to come from Tai Land? Let alone one that is actually pretty good. I won' t spoil anything but this guy kicks everyones ass, he' s like the asian Terminator. If you like old fashioned action with maybe an explosion or two then this movie is for you.

I thought it was terribly borring at times

there' s another movie " beautiful Boxer" (or something like that) that is much better - about Muai Thai fighter who' s a transvestite - it really is a good movie :)

No, Gangsta' s right, it' s boring. I got the DVD as soon as Tartan Asia had it in and was horrified.

The story is stupid, ...but perhaps it' s like everything else that is Eastern and just doesn' t translate very well.

The stunts were mostly done by the actor himself and without any special effects, which is cool. Some of the stuff is really good, but it still feels like it could have done with some real polish.

The fight sequences are interesting at first but soon become repetative, ..VERY REPETATIVE!!!

Beautiful Boxer is 10 x better, watch that instead!

Muay Thai rocks! But not as much as Jujitsu or Aikido!

Muai Thai , Jujitsu , Aikido - depends on how good you' re at it.
It' s not the style that' s better - it' s the fighter.(maybe except karate and shit like that) :)
