Review of Kickboxer

Kickboxer (1989)
8/10
Kurt Sloane
20 April 2021
One of those films that possess an undeniable charm that captivates with its simplicity and pure emotion.

The plot is simple, Kurt Sloane wants to defeat Tong Po, in order to avenge his brother. He is assisted in this by Xian, a kickboxing coach who will teach him the Muay Thai technique.

Jean-Claude Van Damme is perfect just for roles like this, once again we see his fascinating physical fitness as well as his knowledge of martial arts. Michel Qissi is great as the villain Tong Po, a sinister and truly evil character.

The film is fun, interesting, and the fight scenes are excellent. The choreography is great and it's a real pleasure to watch the fight scenes.

A real martial arts film, which tries to entertain the viewer and provide a sense of inspiration along the way.

The film is truly inspiring and celebrates the triumph of the human spirit and man's desire to improve himself and rise above evil.
