Dimitri Logothetis' Kickboxer: Retaliation – the seventh Kickboxer film, and the second in the 2016 rebooted continuity – knows, quite wisely, exactly what any passable fight film ought to contain. That is to say: A good deal of awesome fighting, a capable martial artist in the lead role, additional roles for other notable fighters/celebrities, a good deal more fighting, a mountainous super-villain, high energy, and a story that remains politely in the wings for prolonged periods, only occasionally making itself visible in order to hastily assist the film to its next kick-centric conflict. In short, Retaliation is – perhaps surprisingly – solid, exploitation movie fun.
The capable martial artist in the lead role is Alain Moussi, previously a stuntman on X-Men: Days of Future Past and Suicide Squad, reprising his role as (sigh) Kurt Sloane from 2016's Kickboxer: Vengeance. Kurt was last seen slaying Dave Bautista in a free-for-all underground martial arts competition in Thailand, and is, at the outset of Retaliation, lured back to Bangkok so that he can be taken into custody. He is spirited away to a secret Thai prison reserved exclusively for other murderous kickboxers, including the famed Brazilian soccer star Ronaldinho, and America's own boxing bad boy Mike Tyson.
