Critical Reception
According to some critics, Ong-Bak is an unabashed "Hey, look at what I can do!" action movie starring the main character's martial arts abilities. Its onrush of chase scenes, hand-to-hand combat and acrobatics, sometimes shown multiple times from different angles, drew notice for its quality, inventive moves and lack of CGI and wire-fu. The film currently holds an 85% "Fresh" rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
