Excellent but underrated film

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

In Ong-bak, monk-in-training Ting volunteers to go to the city to hunt down the mobster who stole the head of their sacred statue. He falls in with a couple of swindlers and winds up in a whole bunch of fights. The fights are brutally entertaining, full of leaps and kicks and elbow jabs. Star Tony Jaa is athletically acrobatic, something shown off to greatest effect not in a fight but in a long chase sequence in which Ting does things like leap over cars (in splits position). The action is terrific, but not much else is. It's a little hard to judge things like acting and dialogue when watching a foreign movie, but most of the acting seemed pretty bad (especially the early scenes in the village) and the subtitled dialogue was pretty stupid.Jaa himself has solid screen presence, and Petchtai Wongkamlao is amusing as one of the swindlers, but take out the action sequences are you have a really bad half hour. The story isn't even neutral; it is actually worse than if they'd had no story at all, because it relies on criminals so spiteful that they do things that lead to their ruin (a smart criminal could have ended the whole sage in five peaceful minutes), and because the ending is a bummer.But if you want to see a bunch of martial arts, definitely check this one out.

"Ong-Bak: The Thai Warrior" is a simple but exciting action film that centres around Ting (Tony Jaa)a young boy from the country who seems natural in the art of Muay Thai,abandons his village where he tracks down a diabolical kingpin who has stolen the sacred Buddha head in his village.I guess the title of my review says it all that I was most impressed with the action of the movie because it refrains from depending on cheap CGI graphics or any kind of essential wiring. You will be mesmerized at how agile Tony Jaa is as he naturally defies gravity to doge or escape his adversaries.Jaa had to lean and master the art of Muay Boran in four years in preparation for this movie. There is no glorified golden-boy Hollywood stars posing as fighters just to make themselves look formidable. This is the real deal guys and girls. Muay Boran's fighting comes from the usage of elbow and knee strikes that customized to painful and quite brutal. This is not a tournament specialized for entertainment value. Jaa looks primed to follow the footsteps of the legendary action star Bruce Lee by utilizing real authentic fighting manoeuvres in order to making the action genre the way it should be really executed.Of course the key component to make the film credible of making the movie entertaining, the fight scenes were stylish, orchestrated and highly edited which in the end makes the fight scenes at time seem superficial. But one thing that's guaranteed is that these bad guys are really getting hurt. When Jaa plants a huge knee to someone's skull, they can feel the impact while we watch with amazement that devoid of any camera trickery. And these blows are shown through slow-motion as a visual indicator that it's all real.An added treat to this action packed film is the numerous chase scenes that spell Jackie Chan as Tony Jaa takes it to the air that would make Spider-Man green with envy.Sadly though, Jaa has not succeeded is building a strong charismatic structure that Lee, Chan or even Spider-Man possess. My guess is the script is where I'll lay the blame on. The script is quite clichéd and formulaic in the tradition of any Steven Seagal movie. But this is not a story driven movie. The action is what sells here and Jaa succeeds in doing that feat flawlessly. And his stunts look and feel so real even the viewers might feel squeamish at the pain inflicted during the action scenes.

I saw RZA present this movie in a commercial once so decided to check it out when it came out. And I can see why RZA who is a fan of martial arts movie wanted to present this movie. The fight sequences when this kickass flick came out was just about second to none when it came to the fight sequences. And it's brutal like muy thai movies should be. This is the flick that boosted Tony Jaa to stardom. His acrobatic and muy thai martial arts skill really shines through. There is a female lead in this I thought was annoying and didn't add much to the story at all. But I guess they just wanted a female lead. The story is simple a statue of head of ong bak gets stolen in a rural village and Ting(Tony Jaa) leaves the village in order to retrieve it. And there are fighting and chases along the way to retrieve the artifact. The story maybe simple but it flowed very well with the action scenes that are really cool to watch. And can tell the stunt people and Jaa put their bodies on the line to make this movie. Overall this is the movie that boosted muy thai onto the movie screen and is a very entertaining martial arts flick.8/10

There isn't the most interesting story. But that doesn't matter one bit when you experience some of the most groundbreakingly breathtaking action sequences ever in martial arts. Wait, in movie history! Tony Jaa trains in Korean martial arts Muay Thai. I have practised a bit myself with a qualified trainer for Muay Thai. But this guy pulls every move off perfectly with unbelievable technique. It is annoying that they used all the effects they did. It can make people curious about the special effects making Jaa out to be even more amazing, which is probably true. Even with all that in mind, in my opinion he's even a better fighter than the legendary Bruce Lee. (Trust me, that's the 1st time I've ever said that about any fighter in any country.) Tony Jaa's elbows are the most deadly strikes I've ever seen in martial arts. He could easily take someone's life with his moves. They call him a Thai warrior. I'd call him the Thai master myself. Whats amazing is that he even topped this in Warrior King. Which was an even better film than this stunner. Forget the other modern martial artists like Chan & Jet Li, this guys the real BIG deal. Although realism fails a lot in this film, it still takes nothing from the sheer entertainment is boasts. I recommend of the highest priority to any martial art fan (Die-hard martial arts fans must get this stunner of a movie).
