Prachya Pinkaew working the same nerve twice
The difference: Reviewed even better

The same hand behind both of them: Prachya Pinkaew
The difference: Easier on the stillness than The Protector

Both keep coming back to the same thing: gang

Both are working the same pair: martial arts, fighter

Both are built on the same subject: martial arts

One thread runs through both: gang

Kinetic where it counts, gritty underneath

Tense action in both cases

Crime built on momentum, twice over

Gritty thriller, and it commits to that

Both lean on tension more than on drama

Action with a pulse of momentum, in both cases
In the mood for more kinetic?
