The Next Jackie Chan?
I watched Ong-Bak last night. Holy shit this is a cool movie! Jaa (playing Ting) does all of his own stunts and does them extremely well. The plot is a little silly, but I don't care. The acting is a little silly, but I don't care. The fight scenes are fast & furious, and I do care about that. They don't use any wires, they don't use any stunt doubles and they certainly don't consider safety job 1.
Ong-Bak does not have the artistic touch of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Hero or House of Flying Daggers, but in it's own way Ong-Bak is artistic and absolute magic.
No wire flying here folks, the stunts performed are just a blast to watch!
If you enjoy Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung, older Jet Li or any other martial arts film... you will thoroughly enjoy Ong-Bak. Along these same lines are the Once Upon a Time in China series and the wealth of old Chan movies.
