Kickboxer: Retaliation

About This Movie

Kickboxer: Retaliation is an interesting follow-up to Vengeance. The atmosphere is gritty, and the pacing does have its moments of lull, but when it picks up, it really delivers. Kurt Sloan is back, though he’s reluctant to return to Thailand, and that's where the film leans into its themes of redemption and facing one's fears. The fight choreography is something to appreciate here, with practical effects that stand out amidst the sometimes over-the-top CGI. The performances, especially from Alain Moussi, have a rawness that captures the struggle. It's not just about the fights; it’s about the journey, even if some parts feel a tad stretched. Overall, it’s got a distinct vibe that fans of the martial arts genre will recognize and appreciate.
