Worse than the previous...

"Kickboxer: Retaliation" is an Action - Drama movie and the sequel of the movie "Kickboxer: Vengeance", in which we watch Kurt Sloane being sedated and taken to a prison in Bangkok after a fight in Las Vegas. There he is being pushed to fight another person for his freedom and $1M.

Since I had already watched the previous movie I knew what I was about to watch so, I was prepared for it but I did not expect it to be worse than the previous. At some points it was like I was watching Mortal Kombat or some other game and not an action movie. The direction which was made by Dimitri Logothetis, it was below average and I believe that he did not reach his potential. To sum up, I have to say that "Kickboxer: Retaliation" is a movie that can be reached only from a limited audience and it's not for everyone.
