| Favourite line: | N/A - Subtitled |
A martial arts movie from Thailand that really takes the genre to a new level.
The chosen art in question is kick boxing, and it is brutal, violent and unrelenting.
The story is virtually redundant - a quest to recover a stolen statue head - and it is only the fight sequences that capture the viewer as they are as nasty as I have ever seen in a martial arts flick.
Modern and unusual, this is one for any martial arts or action fan to check out.
