Geeky Randy's summary

Rating: 6/10 (26 June 2015)

Brothers Alexio and Van Damme travel to Thailand for a kickboxing tournament, but when a rule-breaking (and back-breaking) assault occurs in the ring during Alexio's match by mammoth thug Qissi, Van Damme sets out to avenge his brother by learning the art of Muay Thai from trainer Chan. By-the-book martial arts flick is a tolerable time-killer, but Anderson and Chan's characters risk so much for nothing—what is their motivation? Despite the beautiful cinematography by Kranhouse and excellent fighting choreography by Van Damme himself, there are just too many failed opportunities to make the story slightly better that its pros cannot compensate for the instances of avoidable laziness.
