TV Guide Magazine by Maitland McDonagh

Wongpim pays tribute to classic Italian Westerns in his face-hugging close-ups, but his film is more silly than existentially anarchic, and its exotic quirkiness wears thin quickly.

New York Post by V.A. Musetto

Isn't perfect, but it's light years ahead of "Ong-Bak."

Village Voice

Director Chalerm Wongpim's skull-buster makes up in wild-eyed insanity (and excessive, arbitrary slow motion) what it lacks in acting, pacing, and coherence.
