Critic Reviews

63 New York Post
Isn't perfect, but it's light years ahead of "Ong-Bak."
63 TV Guide
Wongpim pays tribute to classic Italian Westerns in his face-hugging close-ups, but his film is more silly than existentially anarchic, and its exotic quirkiness wears thin quickly.
60 The New York Times Rachel Saltz
Chalerm Wongpim keeps it all moving along at such a clip that you’re more likely to leave the theater smiling than yawning.
38 Premiere
Paths collide and allegiances form between the good, bad, and ugly, but under the incoherent direction of Chalerm Wongpim, a clunky dullness sets in whenever the action subsides.
30 Village Voice Jim Ridley
Director Chalerm Wongpim's skull-buster makes up in wild-eyed insanity (and excessive, arbitrary slow motion) what it lacks in acting, pacing, and coherence.
