    You wanna know why this sucks... 2 words, Messed-Up. Why bother wasting millions of dollars or any other currencies. Thai films are a complete and utter waste of time!

    But the best way to enjoy Ong Bak is on its own gritty, low-budget level, skins, brains, and guts galore, a viscerally entertaining slice of Thai filmmaking that will leave you grinning ear to ear.

    Overstays its welcome, but for mindless thrills you could do worse.

    Having root-canal surgery would be less painful than sitting through the martial-arts disaster Ong-Bak: The Thai Warrior.
