The Muscles From Brussels at his finest

Rating: 8/10 (29 April 2015)

So the kickboxer stars Jean-Claude Van Damme as Kurt Sloan the trainer and little brother of world heavyweight kickboxing Eric Sloan. so the story is essentially the story of Kurt training with Mr Chan in the art of Muay Thai so he can get revenge on Tong Po the man who paralysed Eric in the ring. And that is what i think is the problem most people have with this movie compared with other martial art movies is the film doesn't really have a secondary plot line to go along with the karate kid had the sort of romeo and Juliet star crossed lovers secondary plot going for it bloodsport had Frank trying to avoid the cops so he could still fight in the kumite but what does kickboxer have. probably the closes it comes to a second plot line is the Eric trying to talk Kurt out of the fight. But if you come into the Film expecting nothing more than lots of fighting and martial arts i almost guarantee you will enjoy it if you come looking for a deep and meaningful martial arts movie your gonna be disappointed.
As Jeremy Jahns would say this movie is a good time no alcohol required if you expect it to be what it is if not its a good time if your drunk
