Yeah, I saw it. Preety nice stunts.. the guy playing the lead role does some amazing moves.. good fights. The storyline is bad, the movie gets real boring after one hour, even with the good scenes. Def. not a milestone movie, but the this toney Jaa or whatever his name is, is a big talent. I hope some good directors or producers get a hold of him and make some better movies.

Yeah, Tony Jaa can be great as long as hollywood dosent snatch him up and make him do special effect laden garbage

is it worth buyin..?

titoortiz1 · 09-10-2005, 01:06 PM

well i bought it.. it has some good fight scenes.. it was diff. but cool..

I saw it just 3 days ago, I liked it a lot

I think it's worth buying. They did a ton of amazing stuff. Tony Jaa is also an expert in Thai swordfighting, and that's what his next movie is about (I forget what it's called, but I believe it's finished already).

I would say the movie was pretty decent not a award winner like million dollar baby but its an action movie not something you watch for a storyline but the action scenes are really good and if thats what you wanna see you should get that movie

Whereas if you're looking for a movie with a bunch of crying and hugging and a totally depressing ending and not much in the way of exciting fight scenes, rent Million Dollar Baby. You can make me a scarf while you're watching it, because you probably enjoy knitting.

Besides the acting of Eastwood and Freeman, I didn´t like the movie at all, and what´s with the all of a sudden tragedy. I though i was watching a movie about boxing, all of the sudden it turned into some tragic hollywood tale of tears.

It gave a new meaning to 'overrated'

I have never seen either of these movies. So is Ong-bak good and Million Dollar Baby is not? I've heard mixed reviews about Million Dollar Baby.

You need to watch it yourself. I´m still mad "The Machinist" didn´t make it to the nominations of the 77th Oscars.

I have been wanting to rent it so I will probably check it out tonight. No kidding about "The Machinist" though! Brad Anderson is a freaking genius. Session 9 is one of my favorite movies of all time.
