I tried this one twice when I started doubting myself given the favorable reviews. No luck this really is just a stupid movie with some big stunts.
Ong Bak really set the bar for Tony Jaa and this films departure from such a successful formula into Tony Jaa VS Teenage-Mutant-Ninja-Turtles,DayGlo-motocross-riding, street-gang-hoodlums in Sydney just didn't lift my skirt.
Like Jackie Chan's Australian film (whatever it is called) it's weak and feels like 'Hollywood on the Goldcoast'. Unlike Chan's Rumble In The Bronx which went all out for cartoon silliness and was much more successful.
There may be some great stunts and if you can watch a film purely for that then this one might be the greatest film you've ever seen.
