Ong-Bak is a no-nonsense, old-school martial-arts experience. Plot is thin, acting usually on the melodramatic side, with everything geared around action sequences. And what action sequences they are- amazing chase through the streets of Bangkok, and wire-free fighting that'll make your hair stand on end. I want to see more of this stuff- Tony Jaa is remarkable. There is a hint of Thai about this film- with religion and spiritualism more prominent than you'd find in a Hollywood flick of the same genre. Great fun- recommended.
