I remember the 2004 "Fighting Fighter" was amazing. This pair of kung fu movies that were once known as the kingdom of kung fu bred and grew up, and I saw another style of fighting. So Muay Thai and Kung Fu set off a storm, and because of this, the Muay Thai champion challenged Chinese Kung Fu to identify who the world's strongest martial arts country is. "Fighting Fighter" seems to be the trend of martial arts action movies, making Thailand another new style that attracts international attention in addition to ghost movies. With the introduction of these kinds of movies, but there is no way to break through whether it is the plot or the texture, the Thai martial arts movies also slowly fell silent.
And this film is directed by the British director Gareth Ivans. This is his re-cooperation with Indonesian martial arts star Ikouais following "Street Fighter". I have never watched the "Street" movie myself. I feel that it is inherited from "Fighter Fighter". The route is the same as the above. In the case of the gradual decline of this kind of film, the "Street" film released in 2009 did not receive much attention in the market, but good films will not be buried. After watching "Total Raid" Later, although it may not really be like many websites introducing "the strongest action movie in 10 years", it is definitely one of the classic action movies in the past decade.
Clean and neat martial arts scene
The action scenes are definitely the most exciting part of this film. This time, the film uses CQC (Close Quarters Combat) close-quarters combat technique, and the clean fist and kung fu makes me feel dazed. In the soundtrack part, Shinda Maico and Joseph Trabenes from Linkin Park have tailor-made for this movie. The compact rhythm is matched with electronic music, making the movie not only visual, but also Hearing is full of tension. Although the film has a large number of action scenes, the shots on the screen are cut and cut, and the rhythm is full of speed; and some shots that are shot to the end are more powerful and violent. The combination of speed and strength made people gasp. You may not be able to elaborate on that feeling in words. Pt. Merantau Films, which produced this film, also released some action pieces on the Internet. I also attached a link to the video. Those who are interested can feel it.

Don’t think this is all, if you think it’s very refreshing, watching the whole movie will definitely make you Was hooked.
Excessive management of action scenes so that the story is weak.
If you insist on telling some shortcomings, it is that the film is actually very weak in the plot. Although it is not without plot, a large number of action scenes take up most of the film’s time. , So in fact, many things have not been explained in detail, and there are still some narrations where there should be a plot to lay out. This kind of movie looks at the atmosphere, scenes and martial arts action, but the plot is not so necessary in the movie. So if you are an audience who loves drama movies, this movie may not suit your taste, but action movie lovers, don’t miss this wonderful and refreshing movie.
