If you like bad Asian action movie s and I mean Bad then Ong Bak II or the protector is the movie for you. Tony Jaa stars as cam, A jugernoaught or something. He basically is the guy in charge of protecting the elephant’s or something. I don’t know any way the dude dad gests shot, his elephant gets stolen, and then the dude thinks he’s Bruce Lee.
The protector seriously lacks in plot. It also lacks in consistency, with characters being introduced for little or no reason. Some appearing and then disappearing almost immediately. There is a lot of this in dealing with Jaa’s buddy, basically a carry over from Ong Bak but this time a policemen instead of a crook.
Then there are the action scenes. If you like this movie it will be for the action scenes, and you probably voted for Bush. Twice. The action scenes in the movie go from really awesome. To really stupid, but mostly the try to look cool without providing much substance. The biggest example of this is when Cam charges up these crazy stairs of a club in what’s supposed to be the longest uncut action sequence ever. As a consequence for this ambitious move, most of the shots and action here are really lame. People get like kneed in the stomach and like die, over and over again. In short, don’t waster your time as even the most awesome scenes don’t live up to basic standards.
The Protector is one of those movies that you will pop in and pop out. Almost as bad as Pauline Shore is dead. It gets 1.5 out of 5 stars. At 90 min. it’s really not worth your time, trust me.
