The Last Thing I See

It doesn’t rewrite the recipe, but it’s self-aware enough to poke fun at the genre and not take itself too seriously as it delivers a tasty enough action treat that does enough to differentiate itself from the pack. Also, Ciryl Gane is weirdly adorable.

Rated: B-

Decider

MMA fans might gain something from seeing real-life pro fighter Ciryl Gane making the move into action films. But KO doesn't land its punches where it needs to most.

Common Sense Media

The fight scenes and action set pieces are above average, but this action thriller is too generic.

UFC's Cyril Gane leads Netflix's predictable but visceral action thriller.

since K.O. has a killer club brawl and a healthy dose of violent retribution, I had no choice but to turn into that Martin Scorsese meme and say, “Absolute cinema.”

Rated: 5/5

Ready Steady Cut

Director Antoine Blossier favours wide, clear shots, and the fights benefit from not having been edited to pulp or distractingly embellished with visual effects. If there’s a reason to watch K.O., this is it.

Rated: 2.5/5

The main character came across more real than the usual tough guy. He doesn’t speak tough and is cordial to the actress.

Didn’t hold my attention. Maybe it’s better in the original language.

Some great Action scenes in the middle and at the end of the movie but beside that, the movie is pretty boring and doesn't really has a great delivery, u can't connect with the characters and they also aren't very likable, there is way to less time for some good storytelling and sometimes the camera shots were way to unique but not always in a positive meaning, overall I was kinda disappointed because I saw a great scene online and decided to watch it because of that, that was truly almost the only exciting scene in the movie.

Cyril Gane is the star here. I'm betting he'll be brought back for another bash-'em and trash-'em. There are moments you'll have to suspend your disbelief but mostly it's a good film. Cliché? Yes, but aren't these all?

As an action film, it is not distinguished by its originality and the 88 minutes of footage noticeably lacked inventiveness. If anything, it's watchable on a rainy Sunday afternoon.

Wow, Ciryl Gane can act! I had to do a double take... is this THE Ciryl Gane from the UFC, or an actor that looks the same with the same name? Welp, to my surprise it IS UFC fighter Ciryl Gane, and this guy can act! The story wasn't anything revolutionary, and some of the fight scenes (mostly the ones with the knives and machetes) were a little cheesy (as was the gang's boss), and the story pretty much predictable, yet Gane's massive presence and on-point acting elevated this move to an enjoyable popcorn action flick. The female lead was however a little annoying and way too small to be convincing fighting next to Gane. Either way, a solid 6/10 from me.
