Matt and I spontaneously decided to watch something violent last night and we came home with The Protector. It is a strange low-budget, Thai movie set in Sydney and is about some elite Muay Thai fighting farmer lad who comes to Sydney to find some stolen elephants. Almost everything about it was totally stupid. Terrible plot, tempo, script, acting. With the exception of the fighting which was totally awesome. There is a 5 minute long, single-cut shot where the lad fights his way up five stories of some restaurant. It's one of my favourite movie scenes of all time.
Despite all the non-stop awesome fighting, Tom is probably the only person I'd recommend it to, and he thought it was shit. And Matt fell asleep in it.
