![]() Naturally, Boyka offers to take part in a series of bouts, to win Alma’s freedom. ![]() There, he discovers she is in debt to local mob boss Zourab (Aboutboul), who needs fighters for his nightclub/MMA venue – a business concept surely ripe for franchising. To make amends, he travels back to Russia to meet the man’s widow, Alma (Duhovnikova). Boyka (Adkins) has found God, but accidentally kills his opponent in a Ukrainian bout. But this one absolutely gets it right, with some excellent fights, entertaining characters and a story with a surprising amount of heart. It’s tough to balance between the “realism” required for that, with the more artistic approach of traditional martial arts movies. I’m not typically a fan of the MMA subgenre of action films. ![]() Star: Scott Adkins, Teodora Duhovnikova, Alon Aboutboul, Brahim Achabbakhe
