Bump.

Saw the beginning of The Protector yesterday. It stars Tony Jaa, the same guy who was in Ong Bak: Thai Warrior. It was so bad I actually walked out. I can't even remember the last time I walked out of a movie.

Everything about the movie was bad. The plot was nonexistent, the premise was entirely ridiculous, none of the scenes flowed together, and even the fighting (the only potential saving grace of the film) was poorly choreographed and filmed. Clearly, Tony Jaa is one of the best martial artists alive, but his talent was wasted on this movie. His moves are uncreative and the camera cuts are nonsensical and disorienting. Jaa will be in the middle of some incredible stunt, and then the camera cuts and everyone's position is different and he's not even doing the same stunt. Even the fight scenes were so boring that my friends and I just couldn't take it any longer and left after about 45 minutes.
