Boyka is probably one of the coolest characters in fighting films. He is also easily Scott Adkins best and most well known role. He started off as the "villain" and has now become the protagonist in two films. Anyways I had the opportunity to check it out and very happy I did. This is the first movie I have heard of by Todor Chapkanov, but he has done a decent number of films. Boaz Davidson came up with the story for this after only being involved in the second film. David N. White has stuck with the series as the writer since part two.
So once again Boyka kicks ass and takes names. The acting was a bit rough though from the other actors or maybe it could be the accents feeling a bit odd. Anyways we aren't watching this for the acting. We are here for the fight scenes. The fights are intense and brutal which is how we like them. The story was not especially interesting, but they did add a little bit more depth to our favorite anti-hero. The very end was an interesting decision. I wonder if there will be a follow up because of it.
This wasn't the best of the series though I see people say that here and there. I like the concept from the second and third more. Plus the subplots here were just kind of meh. I am glad they didn't make an unrealistic romance setting like what happens in these types of movies. It's still a pretty good movie and the fight scenes are of course what really get you hooked. So fans of Boyka will enjoy this of course. Just remember you won't be seeing this on an Oscar ballot.
