Standard Aussie martial arts rubbish.This is of the same poor standard we saw with Jackie Chan films made in Australia.Cheesy, cliched crap!

While I am a true fan of Ong-Bak, I must say that Tony Jaa's newest film let me down a lot. The story is pure bull, the direction is not more than one can expect from a third rate music-video director and the editing is (at times at least) awful. The one and only thing that makes this film bearable, are the great stunts and Tony Jaa's inexplicable martial arts skills. I truly hope that in the future I will see more of him, be it in films with better scripts and with another director. Lightning just does not strike twice in the same place.Story: 2 out of 10 Martial Arts: 8 out of 10 Overall: 5 out of 10

Only reason I would give this movie a 5 is because Tony Jaa is pretty awesome, fight scenes with him are very enjoyable. The main reason I disliked the movie had to do with the way they did certain parts of it. Without going into too much detail, they had Thai actors lip syncing to English voices that were amazingly accent free. Movie would have been much better if the Thai actors had spoken bad English, the lip syncing was terrible. Many parts of the movie don't really make much sense, why would poachers take an elephant to Austrailia? But if you want to see Tony Jaa in some pretty cool fight scenes, then you might as well watch this movie. If you want to see a movie that makes sense then see something else.
