No Surrender (2018)
5/10
I don't like to be deceived...

I really like Scott Adkins and last week i watched Avengement on Netflix and it was amazing. This week i decided to rent "No Surrender" as its call here at the local video store wich had released a few weeks ago.

The front cover got Scott Adkins on it, the back cover also has Scott Adkins with his name in big capital letters. Everything make you beleive this is a Scott Adkins movie. In the end his role is super small. Thats pretty much an extended cameo at best. Very disapointing.

The story is not bad, i actually liked the main guy and if it was not for the terrible VVS french dubbing (they obviously had Team B on this one, the same guys who do all the DTV releases) i think it would be a fairly decent movie. The problem is i watched it on my Beer Friday Night, where i drink a lot and get in the mood for a big action movie, usually martial arts. So i was very disapointed and kept saying "where is Scott ... cmon !!"

So my enjoyement of the movie was sadly affected by this. As the title says i felt like i was deceived by the producers who put Scott face all over the promo material only for him to be barely in the movie. He is more in Expendables 2 than this, thats saying something.

So i would say if you know what to expect its an alright movie, its not bad at all, but know that Scott is a very minor character.
