Tony Jaa’s Tien claws back from the brink in this brutal trilogy capper, set in 15th-century Siam where karma’s a killer. Beaten to a pulp by warlord Rajasena’s thugs—elbows snapped, spirit shattered—Tien’s rescued by villagers and a Khmer sorcerer who resurrects him through ritual and rage. But revival’s no gift: crippled and cursed, he trains in shadowy Muay Boran, confronting mystic foes like Dan Chupong’s sadistic Bhuti Sangkha, a blade-twirling nightmare who dances death.

Panna Rittikrai’s spirit haunts every bone-crunch (RIP the choreography god), with Mum Jokmok’s comic relief cutting the carnage. The real sorcery? A 22-minute unbroken finale: Jaa vs. 200 armored soldiers atop rampaging elephants in a flaming temple, fists flying through fire and fury—no wires, no mercy, just raw Thai fury declaring war on steel and sorcery. It’s meditative mayhem: Buddhist philosophy tempers the brutality, turning punches into prayers. Jaa’s intensity? God-tier, every strike a soul-stirring roar. Verdict: 9.9/10. Muay Thai just declared war on guns—and won. Stream it; feel the echo.
