Viewing Notes
I really wanted to like this movie more than I did. Starring JeeJa Nanin who made her debut in Chocolate, one of my favorite martial arts movies, Raging Phoenix seems to blow through all the good, entertaining action scenes in the first half hour. From there it’s downhill, with a convoluted and silly story and odd set pieces that just don’t live up to the promise of the beginning of the movie.
Some of the best scenes are at the beginning and combine drunken Muai Thai and breakdancing in a very effective and entertaining manner. I really loved the first few fight sequences.
