Born to Fight
No seriously, this movie does nothing else but show fights.
If you’re looking for that pesky, hard to find, oh what’s it called…oh yeah, plot that movies so often give us, Born to Fight hides it fairly well. Made by the same producers that gave us Ong-Bak, this film falls far short to its older brother’s ability to tell a story.
DVD Review: Born to Fight
This movie fits very well for the overstuffed, lazy ass video game generation because if the film was just a little more grainy, you’d swear that you were watching a recorded video game. But what DO video games give us? Some serious explosions and some unthinkable action sequences. How some of these stunt men didn’t find a coffin while filming this movie is beyond me.
It’s just too bad that there wasn’t a sliver of a story because as far as I know from the movie every single citizen of Thailand knows abnormal amounts of martial arts even if they have one leg and hobble around on crutches. The main characters are almost a side show to the fight sequences.
All in all, this movie would be good for someone in a coma because it involves zero thinking.
