01/20/2012 This movie was Garbage, The only promising part in the whole movie was the Beginning don't waste your time with it. even though Im a fan of Russell Wong this movie was probably the worst he's been in. it was a terrible take on Ong Bak don't see this. let me re direct you to watch Shoalin, now that was a great movie! Andy Lau and Jackie Chan! See more 05/22/2011 I wasn't overly impressed with this film. The production values weren't very high which can be forgiven but when the action and martial arts sequences just seem so choreographed and fake, it doesn't make for an exciting film. Add the fact that the story itself isn't exactly interesting and The Sanctuary falls flat. See more 10/09/2010 "Mike B ... the worst thai actor, ever!" This was hopeless. See more 10/08/2010 It's amazing the amount of punishment B. can take and give after fasting. The directing often leaves much to be desired but there are some great fights and it finishes strong. See more 07/22/2010 In the early 1900s in Thailand, a group of thieves steal some precious royal antiques from the King and bury the loot so that no-one else can find them. In the present day, a Thai man Kirk finds one of the antiques close to his village but is instantly targeted by foreign criminals and unfortunately killed in a skirmish. The criminals posing as a mineral extraction team manage to locate the other antiques - they hope to make a lot of money by selling them on the black market. But they didn't count on Kirk's brother Krit and a young female journalist who are determined that the criminals who have their country's national treasures will not be able to get away and flee across the border. If you're expecting anything like Ong Bak then you're in for a big disappointment. The main actor who plays Krit may look good in his fights but he's got nothing on Tony Jaa or even Jeeja Yanin for that matter. The action whilst plentiful offer nothing new to the Thai action genre and after a while you'll get tired of this movie. The acting isn't that good especially from the foreign contingent. Luckily the story moves along at a good pace to keep the action flowing as it's only 80 mins long. Average at best.
