what a mess!

very bad screenplay, very bad directing, very bad acting, but the fighting scenes are pretty good, just like most thai action movies. the most ridiculous part of this ridiculous film is the gun fights, the main character with two long guns fighting so many foes but still ridiculously wearing windbreaker and dark sun glasses... hey, guys, we are in thailand, right? it's a hot country, you don't wear long windbreaker in the hot and humid thailand, okay? wearing dark sun glasses indoor, in fighting? could you see clear? the bullets seemed never used up, the bullets just kept coming out, shot everything up, hand guns, long guns, whatever, endless bullets never empty. two young men who never learned close combat skills, were just two mechanic apprentices in their uncle's crappy shop, yet was suddenly learned thai boxing overnight, the other one just learned it from couple of VHS video tapes. yeah, great and fast self-teaching learning genius. those gun shots so easily to heal, and when the uncle guy was shot dead, then the next scene we saw, he's giving final words to his two young men he supported.the whole film is just messy patch-up works, awkwardly put together with ridiculous storyline, scenarios and childish plots. the only thing worth watching is those thai stuntmen's knocking over, knocking down, falling from several stories height, bumping rails or anything. those stunts were top-notched and incredible. besides that, there's nothing in it, just stupid elementary and predictable crap. 2 stars are for the stunts, nothing else.

A mess of a film with some great action scenes nonetheless

VENGEANCE OF AN ASSASSIN is the swansong of action choreographer Panna Rittikrai, a guy who kept the action genre alive in Thailand for three decades until his untimely death last year. This is the guy who brought Tony Jaa to the world in ONG BAK and WARRIOR KING, along with making fine films like BORN TO FIGHT along the way. His recent Thai martial arts movies have been disappointments, and VENGEANCE OF AN ASSASSIN the last of those.It's a frustrating film to watch, because the storyline is all over the place and the script is very poor. This comes from a viewer who has no problems with the story of WARRIOR KING. Key sequences are rushed over or missed entirely so that the viewer always feels wrong-footed and not entirely sure of what's happening, particularly at the outset. Around the halfway mark it becomes a straight action film with no story but you're still left with questions at the end.Still, the action is what we're here for, not the daft story or the non-existent acting, and I'm pleased to report that the action is good. VENGEANCE OF AN ASSASSIN is filled with the kind of old-school stunts that we know and love from Thai cinema, alongside tracking-shot shoot-outs and quite brilliant martial arts scenes. These fights are more brutal than ever before, with Thailand seeming to take inspiration from the hits of their neighbouring country, Indonesia (THE RAID films). A garage fight that takes place midway through and sees hero Dan Chupong letting rip with a sledgehammer on his victims is the highlight for me. Yes, the CGI train stunt is appallingly poor, but like WARRIOR KING 2 I enjoyed this film nonetheless; I've lowered my expectations for Thai cinema, so this kind of nonsense doesn't bother me at all.
