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.

Sergio Burstein Los Angeles Times 01/30/2024
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] Go to Full Review Brian Tallerico RogerEbert.com 01/05/2024
2/4
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.

Raymond W 09/10/2024 Grate movie things a man would do for his child I would do the same See more Enrique G 08/17/2024 La actuación de Nassim Lyes me parece acartonada, el cine de acción ha encontrado un balance muy interesante entre los actores que aligeran sus películas con algo de humor y secuencias dramáticas. Sam vive angustiado, melancólico y aunque enamorado de su esposa e hija no deja de transmitirnos una sensación de angustia por los inminentes acontecimientos. La película, como muchas de acción, tiene secuencias de pelea bien montadas y sangrientas. Hay personajes que son resistentes más allá de la lógica. En fin, no me parece una película recomendable See more Irwin F 03/31/2024 Very unique. Final fight scenes were excellent. See more Timothy E @Tnice17 03/12/2024 Great movie 🍿. Make a Mayhem two. See more Harley V @Harley09 01/22/2024 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. See more Erik G 01/08/2024 Slow to start, but with a hell of an ending. Melds brutal action with Gen's flair for bloody horror. See more Read all reviews
