I'm glad your review is positive, even though I don't actually agree with your review on many points of detail (e.g. the [Thai] dialogue *does* matter; about Mahashi; Zen uses weapons a bit; at least one of No.8's thugs is a greater glutton for punishment than him - checkered scarf man).<br /><br />I did enjoy the several 'homages' to other classic MA movies, and I agree that the film has major flaws. Nevertheless I'm telling people to watch it, as it's a magnificent achievement. It has more and better plot than the Ong Baks and Tom Yum Goong put together, and the parts that aren't direct homages are very inventive.<br /><br />This film deserves to be watched even if only to salute the amazing, hardcore stunt-work, but there are also nice touches, like the small family dynamic, and even more, how Zen (sic) constantly turns her small size into an advantage in the fights.<br /><br />People who keep lazily calling Jeeja 'a female Tony Jaa' aren't doing this film or its' star justice.Olanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3762681276595673682.post-52623653234553189972008-02-29T21:20:00.000+07:002008-02-29T21:20:00.000+07:00Esta peli promete pero quiero saber si llegara a E...Esta peli promete pero quiero saber si llegara a España y si es asi, cuando, deve estar bien, pero necesitais mas publicidad para darla a conocer.Un saludo.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
