I’ve been a Tony Jaa fan ever since I first saw Ong-Bak back in 2003, and he’s consistently blown me away with his incredible action skills. He’s been in some big movies like Fast and Furious, xXx, and The Expendables, but honestly, I always prefer the films where he’s the main focus and can really show off his martial arts. Striking Rescue is definitely one of those movies – it’s fantastic to just see him do what he does best.

Although there aren’t enough reviews yet for a Rotten Tomatoes score, critics generally seem to like the new action thriller. Jeff Ewing from Collider praised it for delivering exactly what audiences expect, stating, “Striking Rescue isn’t trying to be original, it’s giving you exactly the action you want, and it succeeds.”

Simon Abrams from RogerEbert.com gave Striking Rescue a very high score of 3 out of 4 stars, calling it a treat for action fans and praising the filmmakers’ dedication to the genre. Brent McKnight of The Last Thing I See also loved the film, giving it a perfect “A” rating and concluding…

This martial arts movie is a blast, starring a phenomenal actor at his peak. It’s a must-see for fans of the genre – you won’t believe the incredible action, like Tony Jaa’s amazing fight moves and powerful strikes!
