After hearing so many rave reviews about this movie I will admit to being a little disappointed. Yes, the fighting and tricks, agility in general, was amazing, but the rest of the movie wasn't. The plot was so-so, parts of it were super cheesy and some of it seemed so random. Then I read up on the history and it all made more sense. This was a Thai movie not aimed for international review. It was the first movie they'd ever done, they paid for it themselves and made it themselves. The fighting was impressive enough that an international company bought the rights to release it internationally and edited put some of the plot points that would have made certain points make more sense. So, if it feels cheesy and amateur, it's because it was made by amateurs, amateurs with amazing fighting skills who got a huge break and made it big. And props to them.
