I recently saw this movie on star movies, it was very very boring.even all the cool action couldnt make me stay awake.also, this movie was very depressing and a tad too long.Jackie chans flicks, even the old traditional kung-fu ones are very entertaining. Tony Jaa has a long way to go, by the way, has anyone seen his new flick Tom Yum Goong, visit its website here: https://tomyumgoongmovie.com . this one looks a little better. it was shot in australia , but the plot is still wafer-thin. Tony Ja is coming with a new movie , Sword, in which he will be weilding 2 swords in tradtional thai-martial arts style. Hope it has a story.Coming back to Ong-Bak, I couldnt get many things, why tony became a monk (a very funny looking one)in the end. It was a very depressing end to see his friend die, and the final fights were a bit too long.Still, this film is an international hit.
