Critic Reviews

Kevin Thomas

The vigorous Bang Rajan moves with a sure sense of direction and authority to its major culminating battle, a singularly savage and wrenching encounter that for all its bloodshed is never exploitative and concludes the film on a resounding note of tragic grandeur. Read full review

Elizabeth Weitzman

Unapologetically graphic and slightly marred by an artistic awkwardness, this is a rare and worthwhile glimpse into another nation's historical legend. Read full review

David Sterritt

The story suggests a more violent "Seven Samurai," full of jungle mayhem and eloquently filmed action-movie suspense. Read full review

J.R. Jones

The battle scenes are bloody, visceral, and expertly edited, though arterial spray consumes so much screen time that the numerous subplots, involving 11 legendary Siamese defenders well-known to Thais, may feel perfunctory to Westerners despite some strong performances. Read full review

Robert K. Elder

Might be best described as Thailand's version of "The Alamo." Read full review

Janice Page

Choppy, cheesy historical war epic really has only a couple of things going for it, and its biggest asset remains the heroic popular legend that inspired its making. Read full review

Michael O'Sullivan

It becomes, after a while, little more than a mind-numbing bloodbath. Read full review

I cannot believe how many people have never seen this movie. It is a really great movie. Those who enjoy warrior tales of how a small force with alot of heart overcomes the more dominant bullying enemy should definitely watch this movie.
