This is my second time watching this movie, and for the life of me, though the characters themselves are all perfectly fine and believable, I get so freaking BORED with the main plot. Something about ransoming some rich guy's wife and his/her baby and an affair or something. I don't know. I don't care. I just don't. The movie starts well enough, and gives a nice introduction to everything and gets you invested, but then it starts to slump massively into some doldrums before it really picks up again at the end.
The movie does deliver on the action. It delivers on it VERY well. In fact, probably more than any other movie, even perhaps more than Ong Bak 2, this is one where you may seriously want to consider skipping the plot entirely and just fast-forwarding straight to the juicy spots, because trying to squeeze entertainment from the rest of this movie is like trying to squeeze blood from a stone. But hey, I dunno. Perhaps your mileage may vary. Maybe you really like rocks. Give the movie a watch for 30 mins after the main action-packed intro, and if it doesn't get your 'nads going, then just start fast-forwarding I say.
