Jesus on a crutch, what happened to this fantastic martial arts bright star? why he would agree to put himself in this most absurd, ridiculous, clueless insulting film? why wasted so much manpower to churn out such a pathetic, moronic patchwork? this screenplay and the production team had undoubtedly thought that as long as they put tony jaa as the main character in any film, they didn't need to waste time to script any screenplay, just let him do the stunts, allowing more thai stunt people to do more over the top stunts, then the box office would be 100% assured. by watching this horrible film, i have to admit that tony jaa might not have the basic education to distinguish what is good for him or what are the fatal choices for him to sign up films to ruin himself and becomes a public joke. the stupidest thing of this movie was the endless piles of pointless fighting scenes, hiring as many as the low budget could afford those struggling thai stuntmen, male or female, to do the tricks, not absolutely necessary really needed in a film as long as there's tony jaa in it. the first ridiculous 'protector' almost ruined tony jaa, allocated him to Australia to become a so-called 'legend' albeit a joke. that horrible film produced by a horrible screenplay, a brain-dead director has already made tony jaa a ruined actor, and now, without any intelligence, he signed up to do the absolutely un-needed, un-wanted sequel, only confirmed one thing: tony jaa got a very bad and very stupid but at the same time, a very cunning agent, who is just like the boxing matchmaker and promoter, Don King, entrap so many boxing talents, used them like robotic commodities to serve his own greed. tony jaa obviously is also a helpless victim to have such similar agent and on 2nd thought, he might owe a lot to this agent that he could never refuse to play any stupid role in any stupid film. tony jaa, sadly speaking, has become a box office poison, since we the movie goers would try very hard to shy away his next film, if he still got the chance to play another stupid role in another stupid film. my sadness is unfathomable.
