Viewing Notes
I had seen the U.S. theatrical cut of this, known as The Protector, a few years ago, but decided to watch the uncut international version with my kids. Admittedly, it’s been a while since seeing the U.S. version, so my memory could be wrong, but the international version seemed like a chaotic, sloppily edited mess of a movie in comparison.
Still, the action is excellent, and it was great to see some of the co-stars from Ong Bak make an appearance here as well.
