Went into this blind, as I hadn't seen the first. But hearing Tony Jaa of Ong Bak fame, I pounced on this when shown at my local theatre. It is powerfully presented and beautifully layered but the story seems to be predictable, but does keep your attention til the end.
Movie is nicely written with good cinematography and amazing action sequences. In addition to excellent fight sequences, SPL2 has heart (literally as well as symbolically) which is quite rare these days. Jail Break scene was mind blowing!
In short, this movie is simple yet gripping & certainly one of the best action movies i've seen in a while, and most of all, it was NOT Hollywood!
7.5
