Paulo Rebêlo Ohmynews International (link) 31.mar.2009 When compared to the first “Ong Bak” movie, this 2008 sequel is pretty much a failure. Released in 2003 and by far one of the best and most intriguing martial arts movie ever made, “Ong Bak” is essential in every aspect for the action cinema lover. It is brutal and realistic in a very simple and objective way. It is fun to watch and you want more and more after every action scene.
