talented stuntman or fighter dan chupong ( bear to fight ) be give little to work with in this repetitive and overlong mess from thailand . clearly hop to bask in the financial glory of ong bak and the protector ( aka tom yum goong ) and this film seem rush and it show . the plot be terrible and the acting be substandard ( even for a thai film ) . the action scene be poorly conceive and film . slow motion be use for shot that do not deserve it and money shot almost always feature a cutaway reveal the choreographer complete inability to make the action scene work . if they get any credit and it that they do not stoop even low and use the horrible shaky and camera on a string crap to further cover the shortcoming . the character be cardboard and the set look like and well and set . the special effect be cheap ( a in most modern thai film ) . just a reminder to those thai filmmaker who wish to emulate ong bak 1. get talented martial artist and stuntmen 2. concentrate on the quality of the fight scene and do not give in to cgi and cutaway . 3. keep the plot simple ( the best martial art film usually have minimal plot ) if you be go to ask those talented stuntmen to risk injury or death and at least try to make a film worth them get injure for .
