Long stretches of over-stylised posturing follow before – surprise, surprise – Jaa is 'reborn' and comes back fresher and stronger than before to battle the enemy again. Jaa starts the film captured, tortured and left for dead. If only they'd had Jaa kill the main bad guy at the end of that film and spare us this unwanted final entry in the series, which is also, according to some, Jaa's swansong following his decision to retire from the industry and become a monk. In comparison to this, ONG BAK: THE BEGINNING is a masterpiece of cinema.
The previous entry in this historical twosome (the first ONG BAK was a low budget martial arts flick set on the streets of modern-day Bangkok) was a bit of a mixed bag of a film that I enjoyed for the most part.
There's no two ways about it: ONG BAK 3 is a mess of a film and one, I hate to say, that never should have been made. Reviewed by Leofwine_draca 3 / 10 Crashing end to a once-great series
