The Protector

Here's what I think. I think if you are an international crime syndicate who kidnaps a simple farmboy's elephants, shoots his father, and then kidnaps the elephants to Australia, you better be prepared to deal with the consequences. Not EVERY elephant in Thailand can owned by someone skilled in the deadly art of Muay Thai. Do the background.

Eh, but criminals never listen to me. I'm glad they don't. Its because of criminals that I get to enjoy a movie with an asinine plot (though it gets better once the bones start breaking). So, The Protector, is Tony Jaa's new movie. His first movie, Ong Bak, was a jaw droppingly amazing movie. This one, while not as good as the second one, does deliver the goods. Ok, here we go:

Muay Thai vs. Capoeira? Check
Muay Thai vs. Wu Shu? Check
Muay Thai vs. Giant Steroid dude? Check

So, similar to the last one. There are two sequences however that seriously pays the bills in this movie. The first is a four-minute unedited fight scene that follows Kham as he makes his way up 5 stories of house and a "House of Blue Leaves" style sequence where more bones are broken than at a Day-After-Thanksgiving Sale at Walmart. Don't piss the little guy off!
