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.

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.

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 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
