Dominic B Some good fighting sequences and winning actors. On the other hand a bit too sadistic to be truly enjoyable. But still worth a peek, and watching a non-American actioner does add a bit of novelty,being slightly different to US fare. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 08/25/25 Full Review Marco L (CASTELLANO) K.O. es de esas películas que no esconden lo que son: acción directa, violenta y sin concesiones. La historia sirve solo como excusa para ver a Cyril Gane, estrella de la UFC, demostrar su potencia física en pantalla. Y aunque la trama no sorprenda, el ritmo frenético y las peleas logran que no haya espacio para el aburrimiento. El protagonista arrastra un pasado marcado por la culpa y se ve obligado a volver a la violencia cuando aparece un nuevo conflicto que no puede ignorar. A su lado, una agente que no siempre sigue las normas aporta un contrapunto interesante, aunque la película apenas dedica tiempo a desarrollar sus motivaciones. Aquí todo se mueve rápido, con la mirada puesta en los golpes y las persecuciones. Lo que hace funcionar a la cinta es la contundencia de sus escenas de acción. Gane no será un actor versátil, pero en el terreno físico transmite todo lo que se espera: fuerza, agilidad y presencia. Algunas secuencias, como la de la discoteca o la de la comisaría, están filmadas con una energía que recuerda a los grandes referentes del género moderno. Eso sí, quien busque profundidad narrativa o un drama complejo no la encontrará aquí. La película apuesta por lo directo: peleas brutales, humor de alivio en momentos puntuales y una duración ajustada que juega a favor. K.O. es, en definitiva, un thriller de acción que cumple lo que promete. No revoluciona el género, pero ofrece justo lo que anuncia: una hora y media de violencia estilizada y entretenimiento rápido. (ENGLISH) K.O. is one of those films that doesn’t pretend to be anything else: straight-up action, violent and relentless. The plot is just an excuse to watch UFC star Cyril Gane unleash his physical power on screen. And while the story doesn’t break new ground, the frantic pace and fight sequences make sure there’s no time to get bored. The main character carries a past marked by guilt and is forced back into violence when a new conflict arises. By his side, a police officer who doesn’t always follow the rules provides an interesting contrast, though the film barely explores her motivations. Everything moves fast, with the spotlight firmly on the punches and chases. What really works here are the brutal action sequences. Gane may not be a versatile actor, but physically he delivers exactly what’s expected: strength, agility, and sheer presence. Some scenes, like the nightclub fight or the one in the police station, are shot with a raw energy that recalls the best of modern action cinema. Anyone looking for depth or layered drama won’t find it here. K.O. keeps things simple: brutal fights, occasional comic relief, and a tight runtime that plays to its advantage. In the end, it doesn’t reinvent the genre, but it does exactly what it promises: ninety minutes of stylized violence and fast-paced entertainment. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 08/22/25 Full Review T B This movie is bad ass. It’s French Dwayne Johnson. Le Rocher. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/09/25 Full Review Peter K Really liked it in the original French. Yes, parts of this production might seem predictable, but the leads were attractive and the action was non-stop! Cyril Gane played a soft-spoken 'hero' with a score to settle: and he fit the role well. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/28/25 Full Review Jim C The main character came across more real than the usual tough guy. He doesn’t speak tough and is cordial to the actress. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/18/25 Full Review Tyson C Didn’t hold my attention. Maybe it’s better in the original language.
