The sequels must maintain some individuality and in turn have a firm connection with the first film in the saga. In this case we have the elephants again as a connection, and while the premise is maintained, there are variants that make this film very entertaining. While the villain (Rza) is a weak character, the rest of the story holds up and serves as a vehicle for the dazzling Tony Jaa who again blows our minds. This film is pure entertainment, which makes you thank you for being alive to witness the great superiority of Thai action cinema.
