Film Threat
The astonishingly gonzoid fight scenes from Ong Bak 2 might be the best ever filmed. - 75
Entertainment Weekly
Jaa, mesmerizing as ever to behold with his pinwheel moves, also (co)directs for the first time. - 75
The A.V. Club
What sold the original Ong Bak was the action, not the story, and on an action level, Ong Bak 2 lives up to its title. - 63
Philadelphia Inquirer
A must-see for genre fans. Jaa in action is poetry - even in a disappointing film. Let's just hope he regains his senses for Ong Bak 3. - 60
Empire
Jaa’s period ‘beatquel’ is thick on action but thin on plot. Awesome final fight, though. - 60
Time Out
The new film sometimes feels too snazzy in its jittery cinematography, but the stunts make it through the budget upgrade intact. - 50
The Hollywood Reporter
You are not likely to see a better display of martial arts combat on screen for some time, even if you have to put up with some excruciating contrivances to get to it. - 40
Village Voice
While Jaa clearly hasn't lost any of his stamina in the six years since starring as a different underdog in the original, his first outing as a director is confusing, with distractingly muddy storytelling and wildly varying styles from scene to scene.
