Train for redemption

Rating: 6/10 (22 April 2016)

This movie had a great story to it; however, the fighting sequences were not the greatest. In a way the fighting sequences were incredibly plain. In one of the matches, the two fighters were literally taking turns kicking each other one at a time. There was also a lack of any defensive skills. Almost every hit connected. It just did not make sense.
Despite the fighting sequences lacking exceptional choreography, the story was well put together. Kurt Sloane, played by Jean-Claude Van Damme, was determined to train in martial arts in order to defeat Tong Po, played by Michel Qissi. Po had defeated Sloane's brother in a match earlier on in the movie. As a result of that match, Sloane's brother was paralyzed. So Sloane set out to train and learn the art of kickboxing in order to seek vengeance for his brother.
