Sam (Nassim Lyes) is a professional boxer about to be released from prison in France, but while on parole, his past catches up with him and he is forced to flee the country. Five years later, he has rebuilt a simple life on an exotic island in Thailand with his wife Mia and her daughter Dara, working multiple jobs to support his family and buy a piece of land to build a restaurant. As his life begins to improve, a job gone wrong puts Sam in the crosshairs of local crime lord Narong (Olivier Gourmet), who retaliates with brutal violence. Crushed but still alive, Sam is left with only one purpose: to seek merciless and bone-breaking vengeance.

In place of saturating the whole film with action sequences, the script by Magali Rossitto takes the necessary time to develop its characters and situate us in each context. [Full review in Spanish]

Gens doesn’t fulfill on the punctuation in his premise, especially in the interminable first half of the film, which starts with a bang that portends “The Raid”-esque non-stop action and then spins its wheels in set-up that feels like it takes forever.

Rated: 2/4

It takes its time—quite frankly, too long—to deliver the gruesome goods.

If you're looking for a no-nonsense action film, this will deliver, so I gave it a B-.

An emotionally charged, adrenaline-soaked revenge story that features some of the best fight sequences in modern cinema. Mayhem is a never-ending juggernaut that will leave you breathless.

Rated: 5/5

Not as good [as The Raid], but it's in the same class.

I did enjoy parts of this movie but I have to agree with others that it is very slow at times. I think I actually could have napped in a few places. The fight scenes were very poorly choreographed. They compared this movie to John Wick which is just crazy.

Rated 2 out of 5 stars

Slow to start, but with a hell of an ending. Melds brutal action with Gen's flair for bloody horror.

Not a bad action film with half decent brutal fight scenes. But when you have films like the John Wick series out there, or even the Raid 1 & 2, the action in this film just feels very bland and almost boring. The film passed the time but it's instantly forgettable.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars
