Back in 2003 Tony Jaa (or Panom Yeerum in Thailand) starred in the bone breaking martial film "Ong Bak" becoming an international sensation.

Drawing comparisons to many legendary martial artists such as Donnie Yen, Jet Li, and most evidently Jackie Chan. Unlike those he was compared to Tony Jaa success

didn't lead him in the right direction. Every new film Tony Jaa starred in he failed to recapture the quality of "Ong Bak".

His films gradually kept getting worse and dull with the occasional out of place goofy moment (in "Ong Bak 3" Tony Jaa magically gains the power to reverse

time). Now with a resume of mostly forgettable films Jaa only guarantee for success is to turn his only original film into a franchise. Copy and pasting have

never been so wrong before in a sequel serving as a "Best of Moments" from Jaa previous films.

The Protector 2 sees Kham's pet elephant has being abducted (again) and he must fight anyone in his way to find him (again). Usually it would take longer for

a film plot to not give a damn about the story, but the premise spoils that since it's the same exact premise from its predecessor. Although unlike its

predecessor where there was some essence of story if sloppy had a complete narrative.

Not here as quickly as Kham elephant is kidnapped it goes in a hurry to get to the action. Attempting to justify having even less plot this time it throws

politics between two warring countries in the beginning of the film which has little relevance in the plot. Around reaching the twenty minute mark you'll

have to endure one giant set piece that last around twelve minutes. This single action scene has Kham fighting motorcycles hooligans on top of a roof and

eventually getting chased across the city surviving one over the top scenario after another.

If it sounds like I'm skipping on plot details it's because there is barely any sufficient material for a story. It's basically a series of excuses for

action scenes even if the context is not strong enough to support it. As for characters they remain the same not evolving in any noticeable way. There's no

story to be found here. Just nonstop action in the worst way possible.
