Ong-Bak (2003) 7/10

Starring : Tony Jaa, Petchtai Wongkamlao, Suchao Pongwilai
Director : Prachya Pinkaew
Running Time : 104 mins

A young man named Boonteng (Jaa) takes upon himself to leave his remote village in search of the thief who stole a sacred Buddhist statue named Ong-Bak from their temple. He soon discovers that life outside of his village is a lot less friendly, and that many people will do anything to make some quick money.

An amazingly well filmed movie which uses wires rather than CGI, making the effects all the more impressive. Anyone who likes kung fu or martial arts movies should definitely add this to their collection as it will no doubt become quite the classic.
