I saw it during its run here in Bangkok.
Was pretty good, but very overdone at times. The first half that deals with building up the characters is much better then the 2nd half.

I would give it 3.5/5.
Its great to see Thai cinema developing with films like this, ever since Ong Bak.
This is more of a drama then an action film though.

Thanks for your opinion ReconFive. 7 out of 10 is a pretty good score. Is the DVD out yet in Thailand? Do you know if anyone has picked up the international rights?

No DVD yet, but even for big films like this, the chances of the Thai dvd having English subtitles is almost non-existant. This seems to be the rule with any Thai dvd of a Thai film.

Quite strange considering they almost always have English subs in the cinemas.

There is a thai dvd out , that i have also, but no english subs...there is another version out but that one is more expensive..

And that doesn't have English subs either right? If so for me it's a non-starter. I'm not interested in it until a DVD comes out with English subs.

Thanks.

I think I have ordered "Fearless" with English subs from them once when there was no English subtitles version out, yet. If this is the store, then they are selling bootlegs.

Thats what i was thinking when i saw this version...

Still (strongly IMO) it "may" be worth a pop as they're the only company selling an English subtitled version. Again all just IMO.

I know where to get the unsubbed version i will probably watch that one sometime soon and let you know if its worth buying...

Ricochan38 · Post by **Ricochan38** » 26 Mar 2008, 07:37

I just watched it yesterday and i must say it was a pretty good movie, better then i expected.
I would rate it 7 out of 10
