Let me start by saying that there are many plot holes in the movie.
The kidnapped girl is at at least 14. Shown on the phone. The lead star. Michael doesn't seem to be much older then mid 20's. So do your math on how old he was since he got her.
The janitor is also a trainer. And Cynthia's character also seems to be in the exact same place. Seems a bit weird they can just go everywhere and Matthias' character doesn't bother that at all.
I liked the scenes with Kurt, mostly. But it felt he almost leant towards a love relationship with Lea. They got very close together.
The fighting characters and scenes is pretty much Bloodsport all over again. We got the Muay Thai, Cowboy Billy, Caproeira, Kung Fu, etc. We just lack the Sumo guy.
The fights were done quite alright. But it did took a lot of time, and training, and drama, to actually get there. And went over in a flas.
The Dracko guy was really over the top. Too much drama. The fights also seem pretty hasty. And over the top with all the blood spewing about. Dracko was weird, it felt at first like he was some untamed monster. Creeping about in the gym, intimidating people. And even to Matthias' character he wasn't really friendly.
At some point in the fights we get the thumb up thumb down parts. And he actually listened to not kill someone. Which seems out of character.
The fate of the survivors seem pretty weird too. Would be silly not to just kill them off by gunshot. Matthias didn't have problems killing people.
Also, when you're told that the police is in on everything. You don't go there asking for help. You don't know the concequences. Most 'good' guys made lots of mistakes. I liked they actually hired actors who know their way of fighitng. Not just some random blokes who just give a punch.
I would've liked to see more of Cynthia's fighting and ofcourse Michel "Tong Po" Qissi.
I give it a 5 out of 5. Because of the fights, the acting, and storyline overall.
