The first movie is awesome. the second is amazing. this one is mediocre with poor fight scenes. the story is alright but nothing special.
i was into it for a while until the fight scenes started. i could tell how bad they were immediately. no wide shots, mostly close-ups with a million quick-cuts. there were a couple of times i noticed them cut with every single hit. the fight scenes were pretty bad even by american movie standards.
but the worst offense is using this close-up quick-cut style with tony jaa, who can do everything. making a tony jaa fight look bad seems like a difficult task, but they pulled it off. and i wish he played a more prominent role (1 viewing, 3/1/2021)
