The flick really surprised me.
It contains some well-choreographed action scenes and the storytelling is very intense.
Alain Moussi is a great choice as Kurt Sloan. The man is very skilled in martial arts and boy, this is visible on the screen.
The whole cast is superb.
I really liked the cameo of Ronaldinho and how he throw balls at Kurt Sloan.
There are some quality fight scenes with Mike Tyson as well and JCVD is simply grea as Master Durand. His character is witty and well-written.
Jean-Claude proves that he still got the moves!
There are many MMA stars that appear in the movie as well and this powers the whole fun.
What makes the flick utterly entertaining is the almost half an hour long final one on one scenes between Alain Moussi and Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson, a.k.a. the Moutain from Game of Thrones.
This is arguably one of the most terrific one on one fighting scenes that I have recently watched.
To wrap it all up, Kickboxer: Retaliation is not a perfect movie but it is more than satisfying and if you are a fan of the quality martial arts actioners, this one won't dissapoint you.
