Who's seen it?
I heard nothing about it before tonight, and my cousin said we should watch it. I was pleasantly surprised. :thumbup:
If you haven't seen it, and enjoy movies with good fight scenes (and good comic-relief mixed in), I highly recommend it.

I watched it a couple weekends ago at home. I have to agree. It was a refreshing change from what's out there today.

I thought it had some really funny scenes as well. From what I hear, it has a lot of jokes that people who aren't Thai won't understand. It's still good fun though.

:werd: If I wanted to watch ballet, I'd watch ballet. I want to at least see some attempt to show power behind the movements.

Bought the dvd a while ago. The fighting and action is really good. But the story is corny. Well, I didn't buy the movie for the story so it's cool. h:
