Aro Recommended Chocolate

 

Thailand 2008, 90 minutes
Dir. Prachya Pinkaew
In Thai with English subtitles
Genres: Foreign Cinema, Action/Adventure / Martial Arts, Girl-centric

 

Aroview: Impressive newcomer Jeeja Yanin plays a butt kicking autistic girl (!) in this exhilarating revenge movie, a standout amongst Thailand’s recent splurge of martial arts vehicles.

Despite familiar shortcomings – character and story development clearly isn't a priority for dir. Pinkaew – its fight choreography delivers the cathartic thrills and spills as outlined by Thai cinema’s school of hard knocks. Emulating ONG BAK’s startling physicality and full-contact violence, but with new-found grace and poise, the film’s top-shelf martial arts sequences are all the more memorable given the prodigious female talent they’re executed by.
