'Martial Arts are not 'Tony Jaa' good'?!?!

This goes to the moron who had that written in his review. If you don't know top class Martial Arts when you see it and you can't distinguish between stunts and martial arts, stop acting like you're the high priest of all things Martial Arts. Marko Zaror is a more accomplished martial arts practitioner than Tony Jaa ever will be. Tony Jaa is nothing but a stuntman who picked up Martial Arts for the movies. I am not saying that Tony Jaa is bad, by any stretch of the imagination; But if you think that any of Tony Jaas movies call for the claim that he's a better martial artist than Marko Zaror, you don't know jack *beep*
Now you're reading my signature.

You got to admit tough, this movie seem a lot like some of Jaa works... The story is a little better than most Jaa movies, sure, but the "he kick 50 guys ass one after the other" style is there. I liked this movie a lot, but i couldn't help myself but to think it was very similar to THE PROTECTOR with Tony Jaa...

To my surprise i care for the story there, i tough it was not bad at all, wich was a surprise, cause everything i saw so far of Marko outside "Undiputed 3"(where i discovered the guy btw) was a crap story whith ok fighting. Chinango for exemple...

Here the fighting was really good, and the story was touching by part, funny on others. I just wish Marko would speak a bit more... honestly i think he can act, i saw it in undisputed, even if his role was limited. Here, its almost as he couldn't speak...
