If you're like me, you loved Ong Bak and The Protector, and you're fairly confident that the star of those films, a Mr. Tony Jaa, isn't actually human, but rather a genetically engineered fighting machine. When I saw that he was in this film, I immediately obtained a copy. But Tony Jaa really isn't in this movie. I mean, he's in it, but he's got like four scenes. The only saving grace is that this film contains the most hilariously bad english dubbing in the history of Martial Arts Cinema. No joke, this movie might be one of the worst ever made, but at least the voiceover acting keeps you laughing.

First off, the description of the plot seems to have been mistakenly slapped on this film, as does the cover art. Tony Jaa only has maybe two real scenes in the film. The film on a whole is one of the worst I've ever sat through. And to top it off, the English translations are horrendous, and the English dubs (which randomly switch back to Thai with subtitles in some scenes) reminded me of Kung-Pow. Seriously, the female character is the only one that had even semi decent voice acting. The rest usually sounded like they pulled someone off the street, gave them a mic and note cards and recorded sentences randomly and out of order. A lot of the lines sounded like the "actor" only knew that one sentence and didn't know what the full conversation was even about. If I spoke Thai it probably would have been a slightly better movie. But the plot and lead character still would have been misleading going into a poor movie. Still probably wouldn't be better than maybe two stars.
