SPL II: A Time for Consequences [2015 : Cantonese (Mandarin & Thai) : 2h : Action (Thriller)]
Country : China

Directed by Cheang Pou-soi (The Monkey King 1 & part 2 under production; both with Donnie Yen)

[The Monkey King (2014) motion picture & the animated picture - Monkey King: Hero Is Back (2015) - are a must for Kids, but as an adult it bepends how much the 'child' is still hopping inside oneself. I liked both the films and waiting for the Part 2 (2016), but can't really recomend it to everyone. Give it a try, maybe you will like them too.]


Rated R

Starring : Tony Jaa & Wu Jing

An undercover cop, Chan, is tricked and as a result lands himself in a Thai Prison. A prison gaurd, Chatchai, is a victim of corruption as he engulfs it to save his dying daughter. The efforts of rescuing Chan goes in vain, when he is sold to the human organ trafficking international network. When Chatchai finds out that the prison is involved in anything other than law & order, he decides to join hands with Chan to stop a rich lord from accuring an object that could keep him alive.

The film is loaded with suprises and emotions. The action sequences are dry and raw which easily demands for viewer discretion. The way the characters are webbed together is wonderful and the film briskly advances to a 'fisty-fighty-final'. The major disappointment is the presence of Tony Jaa, he is more like an extended cameo. Even though Wu Jing does some extreme stunt sequences, the eyes are hungry to feed on Tony Jaa Karate. But there are couple of martial arts sequences in which Tony Jaa participates.
