ONG BAK 2* (Released to Theaters Germany 2008)

 

Ben Meyers’ Rating: 4.1|5.0 Starsìììì  Ong Bak 2—Thailand movie—is violent in some places but the violence has been stylized to make it less impactful. Tony Jaa acts in this prequel movie. There is no lack in the makeup department; each scene is incredibly realistic mostly due to the unbelievably good makeup artistry. The film is tailored for the adult audience.  Film Poster Courtesy of Google Images Storyline  A wealthy family's son is relegated to the care of a wise man due to political unrest.    Additional Thanks  Thank you to Directors Tony Jaa and Panna Rittikrai  for directing effort. Thank you to Producers Prachya Pinkaew, Tony Jaa, Panna Rittikrai, and Akarapol Techaratanaprasert for making the film possible.

For the adult audience it works; but know this movie is not for the 'faint of heart'.  Also Known As: Ong Bak 2: The Beginning Video Critique Available Here: Ben Meyers
