Kickboxer: Retaliation

As a die-hard fan of the original, these remakes are awful. The sequel is horrible.

The trailer makes it look amazing. The reality is that it is as bad as you are expecting - the acting is "adult film" level bad (I'm not exaggerating) and the movie is basically just a hodgepodge of slow motion or uninspiring action scenes set to surprisingly lousy music. Really wanted to like it - the trailer had me so pumped and I love the old 80's and 90's action movies but it's sooooo bad when you actually watch it. I literally have been struggling to finish it because it feels like I am wasting my life watching it.

If you love martial arts movies and action movies this is just a fun great movie. I highly recommend it. I have nothing bad to say about it. Its good stuff for an action packed movie!

Weak story and plot...excellent cinematography, too much violence and brutality.

They had an annoying theme or tune for every scene and it was hard to hear the dialogue sometimes. They chose music for fight scenes that didn’t even match. Poor production is the best summary and description for this movie. Too bad!

Even better than “Vengeance”. “Retaliation” delivers non stop action and excitement !! Come for the action stay for the amazingly choreographed fights. Pure energy!
