À propos de ce film

Panna Rittikrai, a legend in Thai action cinema with credits as director of Born to Fight and stunt coordinator for such classics as Ong-Bak and Chocolate, was also the star of many action films in the 70s and 80s. Rittikrai is well known for being a famous mentor to some of the top action superstars working today, including Tony Jaa (Ong-Bak), Dan Chupong (Dynamite Warrior)
and Jija Yanin (Chocolate). BKO features a range of martial art disciplines at its best when a group of "fight club" friends, whose styles vary from Muay Thai, Capoeira to Kung Fu and Tai Chi, must join forces and fight for their lives in a daring rescue of a kidnapped friend.

Notes et avis

Well choreographed action, but that's about it. These kids need to work on their acting. A lot. Solid 3/5 only because they know their respective fighting styles well enough (and I'm partial to Muay Thai).

Young, hip Thai kids, with a lot of amateur action (martial arts + break dance), but OMG, what a lame story line!! Classic low budget movie type!

The only things that made this movie tolerable (barely) was the amazing fight/action scenes and one cute girl.
