Rating:R
Movie Release Date: December 4, 2008 (Thailand) / October 23, 2009 (USA)
DVD Release Date: February 2, 2010
Plot 411: An orphan learns the art of thieves and ventures on a journey of revenge.
Review: Tony Jaa stars as Tien, an orphan who is taken in by a gang of thieves when his parents are killed. He learns different styles of martial arts and after passing several tests is announced as the clan's successor. However, he is ill at ease knowing his parents' murderers are still out there and goes to seek his revenge. Like the first Ong Bak film, this one is action packed with tons of awesome martial arts sequences. There are great exhibitions of skill by Jaa and the other actors. If you like fight scenes, there are definitely some memorable action sequences and kill scenes. I mean, the film kicks off with a croc vs. human fight. What can get any better than that? Unlike the last film though, this one seems to have a better plot. It seemed more compelling, even though we all know the action is the focus of these types of movies. One thing to remember before going into this one is that it has nothing to do with the original film as far as plot is concerned. It's a completely different story with new characters.

Watch It: If you're a fan of kick-butt action movies.
Skip It: You like the more traditional Chinese kung fu movies. This one doesn't have the same fantasy elements (like the flying through the air or fighting across the bamboo forests).
