Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

All that we are seeing on the screen is happening with real people, real action sequences in the background, forcing the eye to watch as if we were there.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

It's the sequel to the unwatchable Kickboxer Vengeance (which was a 2016 remake of the Jean Claude Van Damme film). It's on the same level as that film as it is dull and lacks any logic what so ever. It stars Alan Moussi as Kurt who is held prisoner and forced to fight. Scenery chewing Christopher Lambert has his wife hostage and blackmails him to fight a steroid addict (who is the size of an elephant). Little is known about any of these characters and everything is so random it just makes no sense. What's worse is the writers make no effort to explore these characters and you'll be confused as to what the hell is going on. It's full of plot inconsistencies and unresolved storylines. To be honest there isn't really a plot, it's just a bunch of fight sequences mashed together. Anyway, it's literally one fight scenario after another, and although some of them are ok, it just gets repetitive and boring. Jean Claude Van Damme returns as his trainer (who is now blind) and he just sleepwalks throughout his scenes. When it eventually gets to his training scenes, it's just massively underwhelming. Usually in these types of films, the training montages are the best bits. When it comes to the final fight the buildup was pointless as it isn't exciting as it should have been. The characters are so one dimensional that by the end, you won't even care what happens to them. Its actually so bad it's laughable. Oh it also has Mike Tyson in it.

I absolutely love JCVD. He's one of my movie heroes and I'll pay to watch anything he's in... But this one is quite bad. Horrible script with even worse dialogues. You can't help but laugh at some parts. Not even JCVD's charisma, and Tyson's guest appearance can make the almost 2 hours of the movie any less painful.I watched the first Kickboxer when I was a kid and it was one of my favorite movies, so it is quite sad to see the state the franchise is in nowadays. I mean, seriously, the final fight scene?? It is as grotesque as it is unreal haha To sum things up:---- Spoilers ahead ----Kurt is trying to make a name for himself on MMA, gets kidnapped by Plummer's character (horrible acting, by the way), and is forced to fight a Mongkut ("The Mountain" from Game of Thrones) after he punches Kurt's wife into a coma with a punch to the stomach (wtf?!?!? hahaha). Like, absolutely no story, no motive, and oh, Mongkut is supposed to revenge Tong Po for also absolutely no reason! No connection to him what-so-ever. And his "trainer" is a nerdy "scientist" that keeps injecting him with adrenaline shots. Oh lord, what a mess. Please don't waste your time unless you're JCVD huge fan like I am.

Finally an action martial arts movie with a real deal action martial arts character. Alain Moussi is a breath of fresh air to what was a dying art. He brings authenticity to the role of Kurt Sloan. The chemistry between him and Mike Tyson is really great and the fight scene is even better. The final fight scene between Alain and the Bjornsson (The Mountain) is breathtaking and keeps you on the edge the whole time. A must see movie!

Guess what? The same story that has been told over and over again is told here once more. It brings absolutely nothing new to the table. It just feels like another soulless and rubbish attempt at rebooting the style of the 80's martial arts classics, and this one in particular falls very short. Not worth watching.PROS: * Somewhat acceptable directing - nothing special, but at least most of the shots and action sequences are ok. * Sets and scenery fit just about fine with the story - production design is suitable. * Fighting sequences are pretty average but have the right balance between flashiness and realistic combat. Always grateful to the martial artists that work in these films and their commitment to the entertainment industry.CONS: * Weird transitions between some of the scenes and choppy editing are a big distraction that makes the movie look bad. * Goofy in-movie subtitles (words in different colors and sizes) are unnecessary and very distracting. This particularly makes the movie look amateurly made. * Bad acting all the way through - line delivery is extremely cringy and painfully weak. * Terrible writing - lines are extra cheesy and utterly laughable. Arguably an 8th grader could've written a better script. The movie obviously relies in making dumb excuses all the way through to keep some of the action and unnecessary fighting scenes going. * It brings absolutely nothing new to the genre - makes it another forgettable and sadly unoriginal martial arts film.
