Variety - Wongkamlao worked on the comedy elements in 2003 megahit "Ong-Bak: Muay Thai Warrior," and here he's corralled some of the same talent, including star Tony Jaa (in a supermarket cameo) and heroine Pumwaree Yodkamol, plus a raft of local comics. Plot about a faithful bodyguard, Wongkom (Wongkamlao), who spectacularly fails to protect his rich employer's life and then takes on those trying to kill his employer's son (Pipat Apiratthanakorn), is basically an excuse for a string of funny/dynamic action sequences, with extravagant use of wire-fu, slo-mo and acres of verbal shtick. Permanently attired in a sharp black suit, Wongkamlao plays it straight and low-key, and the humor (dumb cops, bonehead gangsters) works well about 50% of the time. Tech credits are OK.
