Paul Dale The List Relentlessly thrilling from the get-go, Born to Fight accesses all that is good about the early films of John Woo and the Pang Brothers. Rated: 3/5 Apr 26, 2019 Full Review Scott Weinberg DVDTalk.com Born to Fight exists solely for the action, and there's no denying that the flick delivers it. And how. Rated: 4/5 May 3, 2007 Full Review John A. Nesbit Old School Reviews dispensable characters engaged in 90 minutes of video game action Rated: 2/5 Sep 24, 2005 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Tony Jaa wannabe, campy, super-action thai flick. That does sound like a negative description however the stunts were so amazing and computer graphic free that the movie is entertaining for the stunts alone. The burning stick fight scene was cool i diont know how they didn't burn the shit out of eachother while filming it. unfortunatly someone stepped up to the table with some extremely terrible suggestions(kicking a soccerball at least 100ft into a watchtower and knocking the enemy to his death)and just about ruined this whole movie for me and led to me describing it as campy. If you want to see some no ropes attached no computer needed stunts then this movie pulls it off great, watch out for some cheesy characters though. I'f you want me to suggest a good rope free action flick then check out ong bak or the protector and you wont be dissapointed all around. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member HOLY CRAP! An action scene started half way through the movie and LASTED THE REST OF THE FILM!!!! I can't believe stuntmen didn't die making this film. The same plot as Rambo IV, but not quite as good. But funnier to be sure. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Nonsense and ludicrously patriottic like only athai flicks manage to be. Obviously there is Muay Tai, this time mixed with a plethora of athletic disciplines put to good profit fighting undetermined terrorist. From callistenics to soccer, yes, soccer. Hilarious. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member My favorite Thai action film. The stunts, and the way they are depicted are breath taking and the set up to the huge action set piece is excellent. Its simple but effective Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Extreme fight scenes Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member I've seen many Action movies, both good and bad, but i've never seen anything like this movie. A group of athletes helping a poor village must stop an evil tyrant and his men from terrorizing the village. One thing about this movie I think everybody will complain about is that the story is just a story in this movie. It never fully develops, the character development is barely passable, and doesn't exactly add any emotional weight to the movie. Though the only thing good about the story is that it gives a solid motivation of the heroes to do there thing and save the day, but it doesn't completely feels like it. The story really hurts this movie, it could have been better. The action is entertaining, despite what the movie the title there's actually a lack of actual fighting. It should have been called Born To Shoot since there is more shooting. While found the action in this movie in the slightly above average category which sucks because the last action scene has some amazing stunt-work. Considering the DVD case says from the creators of Ong Bak and The Protector I expected the same level of action, but it's better than The Protector, but it's not as good as Ong Bak, this fits in the middle of those two. Born To Fight isn't a bad thanks to the story-line giving our heroes a good purpose to fight the terrorists. As an action fan you'll be disappointed as I was mainly because of the plot, if care for plot, the action won't exactly satisfy you until the final action scene. All in all, it's not a bad movie, but it fails to better than it should have. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Read all reviews
