omg i loved it! I posted about it on TotalGeekMedia (http://www.totalgeekmedia.com/forum/showthread.php?t=334) when I saw it last week.

It was awesome. Muay Thai is very 'in-your-face' and aggressive. The story/plot was a tad on the cheesy/sentimental side, but overall it was an awesome movie.

Maybe Wu-Tangs music is their soundtrack, I'm taking a guess at it.
They seem to talk about the movie though!

i liked the fighting, but besides that, nothing special about the movie

anyways, fighting was the reason i watched the movie, so everything else doesn't matter.

Yeah, it's not a real brain buster. It's the typical "must-have-revenge so must-fight-endless-bad-guys against insurmountable-odds" flick.

However, it's refreshing to see that style of martial arts on screen. Supposedly this is the first time Muay Thai has been seen in the major cinema.

The no wire-trick, no computer enhancement, no whirling-through-the-air stuff is a change of pace, for sure.

The very first fight that Ting gets into, in the fight club in Bangkok, is totally awesome. It's like, BOOM, one hit, it's over. I laughed out loud.
