Where to start? Horrible acting, terrible gun play and not much of a story. There are a few good fight scenes, otherwise the movie is a bust
Plot summary
In 1897, the “Poisoned Knife” clan broke into the royal palace of Thailand to steal the Royal Antiques which the King intended to give to America as a reward for its help in negotiations that avoided Thai territorial cuts. The clan succeeded in stealing the antiques, but the thieves didn’t escape with their lives. Before their deaths, they hid the antiques somewhere close to the palace. During his interrogation, the last bandit chose to end his life by Master Sawang’s sword and let the place where the Royal Antiques were hidden die with him.

It's pretty bad...
Run !!!
Worst movie ever. Horrible writers , the worst acting ever , didn't even know the difference between straw and hay.
Run far away from this nightmare.
A routine low budgeter with decent action
THE SANCTUARY is an ultra low budget Thai martial arts flick starring some unknown guy called Michael B. alongside Chinese star Russell Wong. The plot begins with a historical flashback involving some priceless treasures being stolen; cut to the present day and various characters are now hunting for them. What follows is a story with boring plotting and extremely limited characterisation, alongside the usual dodgy acting. But there's also plenty of action liberally spaced throughout, and it's pretty decent. Our hero gets beaten for most of the running time only to discover his true powers in the last 20 minutes, which offer one kick-ass fight after another. The choreography thankfully avoids wirework and CGI for full-bodied realism and it generally works well, lifting this film above its constraints.
