Did anyone see this movie? It was released today but it is available through other sources. Jaa does things in this movie that defy the laws a gravity, physics, and a whole bunch of other ones. The story really sucks though, getting his stolen elephant at a restaurant (wtf) but the action sequences are better than Ong Bak and Born to fight. This isn't really a great movie, but it is one of the best packs of action scenes ever to be compiled.

check out the making of...

Okay, I just finished watching the entire 17 minute 'making of.'

HOLY SHIITEE!!!!

Even if I understand nothing being said, action spoke louder than words, and that video was pratically screaming in my ear.

The movie looks insane!!
 
Just saw the film at the cinema tonight. The plot was pretty pointless and there is hardly any dialogue so language won't be a problem for any of you. I laughed out loud at some points and there are many 'WTF!?' moments, but the 5 minutes continously shot fight scene up the spiral more than makes up for all that. The other set pieces are less amazing, with a whole lot of bone crunching sound effects. I prefer Tony Jaa in his one-on-one fights, the stunts in some sequences are a bit too obvious. He is to me more of a Jackie Chan than a Bruce Lee, just without the comedy. To be honest, if his next film is the same I would get bored. What are the chances of a collaboration between Tony Jaa and Jet Li?
