  1. The vigorous Bang Rajan moves with a sure sense of direction and authority to its major culminating battle, a singularly savage and wrenching encounter that for all its bloodshed is never exploitative and concludes the film on a resounding note of tragic grandeur.

    It's easy to see why this violent, thrilling tale broke all box-office records in Thailand: Not only does it stir a sense of deep national pride, but Thanit delivers the goods when it comes to action.
  3. It becomes, after a while, little more than a mind-numbing bloodbath.

    I cannot believe how many people have never seen this movie. It is a really great movie. Those who enjoy warrior tales of how a small force with alot of heart overcomes the more dominant bullying enemy should definitely watch this movie. Expand
