Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
The battle scenes are bloody, visceral, and expertly edited.
– J. R. Jones,

rotten:
It's far too bloody for the art house crowd and too leisurely paced and obscure for more general audiences.
– Frank Scheck,

fresh:
Jitnukul can direct action, and every slice of the blade, thwack of the arrow and the glistening of sweat on near-naked bodies makes Bang Rajan a mostly pleasurable diversion.
– G. Allen Johnson,
San Francisco Chronicle,

fresh:
It's a humid, rough-edged epic that occasionally finds startling beauty amid devastating carnage.
– Jeff Shannon,

fresh:
Features scrumptious-looking jungle battles, with a cast of thousands -- not to mention elephants and water buffalo.
