The plot is cheesy, but it's better than many films of this genre. The fighting is top-notch. Jaa's fighting style is amazing to watch. There's a chase scene through a crowded Bangkok market featuring a stunt series so unbelievable that it requires multiple viewings to fully recognize the stunt. It's a great brawler, for fans of choppy-socky movies. Not a fan? You probably won't enjoy it. It's breakout action flick for Thai martial arts.

A very basic plot used as a device to deliver some incredible physical feats. That's enough for me. There's a fight roughly in the middle of this film where Jaa takes on a series of escalating difficulty baddies that is one of the best fights ever committed to film.

When some fighting arts get lots of screen time then others have been in shadows. Thai box is maybe most brutal art and demands a lot fighters. So, its great to see this kind of movie and Tony Yaa is living legend of it.

Pales in comparison to more technically accomplished martial arts vehicles (particularly Jackie Chan's who Jaa clearly wants to emulate) but as an excuse to display Jaa's freaky athleticism (those chase scenes are nail-bitingly stunning), this remains engaging and watchable - it's just a shame that the plotty moments are labored and ultimately a bit confusing, despite the relatively straight forward (and familiar) narrative.

If you know much about the technicalities of martial arts, then you might be able to see past the poor production and directing decisions. But my taste for martial arts movies only goes skin deep, and I need to see some flashy moves or inventive violence/gore to be impressed, "Ong-Bak" doesn't really have a whole lot of that, but I can't say anything bad about the fighting. The rest, though, there are plenty of things I could say.

I think it's the music that makes this too '2000s'. Part of the charm of other films is the rapid fire acrobats of kung fu, but the replays and slow-mos make this grating

It's ugly and the music is awful, but it's earnest, effective, and surprisingly funny. And the main event
Tony Jaa is superhuman. The slow-motion replays are extraordinarily cheesy and cheap, but the filmmakers weren't wrong; I wanted to see his incredible athleticism from every angle. For the combat alone, this film is eminently worth watching.
