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

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

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

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