Review of "Tom Yum Goong"
I've posted a full review of Tom Yum Goong. I had high expectations for this film after seeing Ong Bak. In short, I wasn't disappointed. Here's a snippet:quote: There is a four minute sequence in the middle of Tom Yum Goong, Tony Jaa's latest film, that is possibly, one of the best fighting sequences ever shot. Yes, that is a bold statement. I do not presume to be an authority in martial arts flicks, nor have I seen every martial arts movie ever made, but I think I've seen enough of them to know when something really kicks ass. TYG, like Ong Bak before it, is directed by Prachya Pinkaew. Where Ong Bak is a homage to Bruce Lee, TYG is a homage to Jackie Chan. Both films exhibit the same seething wire-free, elbow-and-knee-flying action that will define Tony Jaa as the next great Asian action icon.

Quite a late response, but if anybody cares to know, the U.S title for the movie is The Protector and is getting a September 8th release.
