MOVIE: The Protector

For those who don't know Tony Jaa, he stared in the action packed Ong-Bak The Thai Warrior, which in my mind is a very a underrated film in 2003. To show no surprirse The Protector (Tom yum goong) is a story about a man who goes to Australia looking to find his elephant which was stolen, on the way he finds out the one who took his elephant is a mob, So he fights his way to get him back.

To many people if you told them about this story line they would just laugh and most likely not go and see it. There's much more that meets the eye. The film is about the passion a man can have for something and tries to honor that by doing the right thin, and in this case to get his elephant back.

The acting, is one thing that I must say brings down the film. Tony Jaa does an ok job. Though most of the supporting actors and actress, I really don't know it could have been my theater I was at, the sound and voice acting was not matching the mouths movement. I would say oh that is just dubbing, but then The Father of Tony Jaa character and Tony Jaa was talking in Thai so that's what I really disliked. Another thing that could have been my theater too was The presentation was not good at all the picture was at time not that clear which makes the experience not all that good.

Action is an amazing thing that this movie brings. Tony Jaa can kick some serious a** . The action at mind was very entertaining, I as many of the others in the theater laugh, cheered, ohh and awed and everything that was happening second by second. This is truly what makes is film good. This is showing Tony Jaa at his best.

If there is one Action film you intend to see this year this is the one to go and see. Its a great bone crushing action packed film that gives even a casual movie goer a great time at the movies.
