Film Threat - Eric Campos
So just do yourself a favor, get out there and see Ong Bak. You’ll leave the theater bruised and battered, but you'll be happy about it.

Variety - Derek Elley
Strongly recalls Hong Kong kung-fu movies of the late '60s and '70s, with physical grit, over-the-top heroics and inventive fight choreography providing the entertainment.
80
Time - Richard Corliss
Pummeling, exhilarating.
80
Village Voice - Unnamed
The ferocious fighting moves (adapted from ancient Muay Thai manuals by veteran Thai martial arts director Phanna Rithikrai) that constitute Ong-Bak's money shots are often truly astonishing.

L.A. Weekly - David Chute
However shrewdly he's been packaged, Tony Jaa is the real thing.
