When the head from a statue of a small village's protective idol is stolen, the local townsfolk send young Ting to the big city to find the bad guys and get the idol's head back. And thus begins the wildest head-busting, ass-kicking, wood-smashing action movie you'll ever see. The story? Not that great. But that's not why YOU HAVE TO SEE THIS FILM.
Tony Jaa (who plays Ting) has obviously made some deal with the devil to become a superstar. That's the only way I can explain his ability to run up walls, run on people's shoulders, slide under moving cars, and whatever other amazing real-time stunts he's thrown into this movie. If you can believe it, the movie actually slows down because of a car chase.
People really get hit in this movie. Hard. The action sometimes goes by so fast, that the movie has built-in instant replay. Which is hilarious because you get to see the stunt guys brace themselves for a "knee to the head." I'm serious.
There's a lot of knees flying around in this film. Motorcycle headed straight at you? Jump up and knee the guy in the head. Your legs on fire? Jump up and knee some guy in the head with your fiery knees. Or, try kneeing a guy through a window, and then jumping out after him so you can knee him again as you both fall about 15 feet.
