Movie | Chocolate | Pass

Listened to too much hype about this movie, so it was going to take something really special to meet expectations. Unfortunately, it didn't. The plot was pretty dumb and the first two-thirds of the movie is slow and boring.

But, the martial arts mostly made up for the lame script (the depiction of the hero with "special needs" was downright ridiculous), especially the fight with the chaotic break-dancing fighter (who wears a track suit...a homage to Bruce Lee?) and the last fight scene on the side of a building.

Stick around for the outtakes over the credits where we learn, once again, that you can't make movies like this in the United States.

By the same director behind the Tony Jaa classics (and there are many references to him in this). Worth a rental if you've seen everything else and you're in the mood for a Muay Thai actioner. Otherwise a skipper.

Thanks for the loan, DubS!
