Ong Bak proved that Tony Jaa was the extremely talented inheritor of the king of martial arts cinema. Not only could the man kick arse with the best of them, but he could do inventive, potentially death inviting stunts in the vein of Jackie Chan in his prime.
The sequel/prequel sadly lacks these ludicrously dangerous stunts in favor of more Jaa kicking bottom, which he choreographs spectacularly. But there's something lacking.
It's a handsome production, this time set in the past, with Jaa's character being trained by other badasses, so he can exact his revenge on the baddies. I watched the movie without subtitles, so I'm not entirely sure about the plot. But with this much kickassery, frankly, who cares...
