In the sequel (that's more of a prequel, though it features none of the same characters, so is it really a sequel?) to 2003's Ong Bak, director/star Tony Jaa plays a 15th century orphan who learns multiple martial arts skills from bandits while on a quest to avenge his father's death. Fighting aficionados will have much to enjoy in Ong Bak 2: The Beginning, but there's not as much in the way of plot, as the Daily News' Elizabeth Weizman summarizes: "does a 20-minute martial arts battle featuring Thai superstar Tony Jaa sound like the ideal way to spend your time and money? If not, move on."
