The players: Directors: Tony Jaa, Panna Rittikrai, Writers: Tony Jaa, Panna Rittikrai, Cast: Tony Jaa, Santisuk Promsiri, Sarunyoo Wongkrachang
Facts of interest: Prequel to "Ong Bak."
The plot: After Tien sees his parents get murdered, he's picked up by a group of warriors who teach him martial arts.
Our thoughts: Tony Jaa returns to kicking major ass in “Ong Bak 2,” a film that boasts an impressive photography but eventually suffers from many overlong scenes and monotonous action. As expected, a story is pretty much nonexistent, and while the film is not entirely boring, it still failed to win me over.
