Tony Jaa is a master at his craft, giving us flashes of what Jackie Chan could do in his younger days, only (a lot) meaner. What's fun to watch is how he gets to that point by punching, kicking, and slashing his way through hordes of enemies.įeaturing nothing new in the plot department, 'Ong Bak 2' instead stuns with the sheer choreographed brilliance of its action scenes. We all know at some point in the film Tien is going to exact revenge on the people who betrayed and killed his father. Tien is taken under their wing to be trained in the ways of the martial arts. The camp is attacked and seized by a band of rebels. Thrown into the bushes, Tien is soon picked up by slave traders and brought to a camp in the forest where he is forced to fight with a crocodile in a muddy pit. Tien is rescued by one of the men loyal to his father, but the man is soon killed trying to help Tien escape. Tien watched his father, the king, killed by a traitor when he was a child. Now that you've seen the type of stuff Jaa is capable of you're ready to experience 'Ong Bak 2.' The best martial arts films are usually deep and soulful experiences ( 'Fearless') or brilliantly choreographed slugfests.
