Ong-bak: Muay Thai Warrior (2003) 

Directed by Prachya Pinkaew

Starring Tony Jaa

No wires. No computer graphics. No stunt doubles!

Nearly 2 hours of absolutely stunning martial arts action. The story is lame and more than a little cheesy, harking back to the Hong Kong films of the 70's but if you can leave your brain at home you will be entranced by the sheer acrobatic and fighting skills of Tony Jaa which are phenomenal, like a cross between Jet Li and Jackie Chan. The fight scenes are brutal yet at times poetically graceful. 

If you're in need of an adrenalin rush of a movie and can put up with stereotypical characterisations, go and see Ong Bak.
