Critics Reviews

The Onion (A.V. Club)
Delivers a steady stream of cheap B-movie thrills, plus two positive messages for young people: Be nice to animals, and when in doubt, always aim for the tendons.
Entertainment Weekly
It's silly, at times laughable, sure, but Jaa has a reckless, bone-cracking grace that transcends the film's triviality.

Users Reviews

See it for the action
The story is not that great but this movie can be seen just for the action.
There are plenty of fancy-schmancy acrobatics, definitely not martial arts. It's as if the director is trying to trick the audience into overlooking poor storytelling and acting by covering it up with excessive back flips and hi-ya's. Should have...

Not for me
