Viewing Notes

When I checked into Miso for this, I commented “Expecting a goofy plot and great action.” That pretty well sums up this whole movie.

From the director of Ong Bak (this movie is also known as Ong Bak: The New Generation), Panna Rittikrai, BKO is a lot less focused than Ong Bak, so don’t get your hopes up for a decent plot.

My biggest complaint isn’t even about the silly plot, since I was expecting that; rather it’s with the running time of the movie, which just seems to go on FOREVER. That does mean it packs in a lot of action, but by the end it’s just a series of “you thought this was the final battle, but AHA, now we’ve got THIS!” moments, which get wearying after a while.

Still, there are some amazing, jaw-dropping fight scenes and stuntwork going on here that you’ll never see in Hollywood because no one would insure the production!

That doesn’t keep me from thinking I’d love to see some of this fight choreography in a mainstream movie like the next James Bond film though.
