I thought this was going to be of Ong Bak quality, especially with Buakaw Banchamek in it, but sadly he is the only good thing about this movie.
His fights when training are exceptionally good, his power is evident throughout but Seigi Ozeki as the lead character just didn't pull it off. He appeared weak both in character and in Martial Arts skill.
The story is not a bad one, based on a true story apparently, but it just isn't executed well at all. The fight direction for the last scene was particularly poor and unrealistic.
This is not a film I will be watching again.
