Tiger Blade

(2005) Tiger Blade (In Thailand with English subtitles) ACTION

After the success of Tony Jaa who done well with Ong Bak internationally came this mediocre effort. The set up regards some revolutionary men attempts to rob one of Thailand's biggest banks to fund their coup with a couple of men who can't be killed by bullets but with a sword that is hidden in some Buddha temple called "The Tiger Blade" hence the title. Because this set up is only provides only a backdrop to some of the action scenes, it is somewhat inventive but is done unconvincingly since people should be able to tell that wires were used during almost all of the fighting saying that the gun scenes were the only thing that prevented this film from not liking this film at all. Including with those fake fights which animated CGI was used for the blood scenes have to go through some extremely amateur camera angles which really needed some edits. My suggestion is that they should've stuck with Tony Jaa's method and not use any wiring at all, or CGI because it makes the action sequences less and less believable but it does have it's moments for what it's worth.
