If you thought that Ong Bak was cool... - Battle Warrior review by CP Customer
and indeed it was, and if you are expecting more of the same then I am afraid you are in for a major disappointment. It was made some seven years before Ong Bak and well was a waste of celluloid.
The plot (such as it exists) concerns a golden artifact and a group of treasure hunters plans to liberate it. Sounds fine so far but the item is deep in the territory of a psychotic warlord and he wants it so he can become filthy rich. Sounds like an ideal recipe for an action flick? Yes it does but falls well short. Oh sure there are some fancy fight scenes but the dubbing and voice over acting is so so bad it's laughable. The mad warlord sounds camp, there's a german soldier dubbed by someone doing a very poor Arnie impression, and that's just for starts. Added too the problems are night filming that's so dark you can't see a darned thing!
The director obviously knew nothing about night filming! The movie is dire, and parts seem made up for the pure hell of it. What is the zombie for? AVOID this piece of nonsense please!
I wish I had.
