Starts like Creed, continues like Roadhouse, ends stupidly. Then divide by 10.

We are talking about a guy who fights in MMA tournaments and he is really good. We see a fight in the ring where he gets his ass kicked. Great, so I was expecting some training montages, some silly moral system that makes him better than the opponent, then a fight to show he's better. But no, he quits fighting and becomes a bouncer in his brother's club. Great, so I was expecting some bad guys to come in the club and disrespect him so he would show him the way. But no, he throws out an annoying VIP and then he leaves this job.

By this time, nothing really had happened other than guys being thrown overhead and landing on chairs. So when the final terrible incident makes him take some action rather than quit again, he takes on government and corporate corruption. Badly. The "final battle" was ridiculous and pointless.

Bottom line: a disappointing story through and through and weak action. It could have been better if they actually fought more and taken themselves less seriously. As such it's a fantasy about how the little guy, with a lot of luck, can take on giants, so it's more depressing than inspiring.

Too little action, far too late
Comphunk1 August 2021
It started off nice. Great atmosphere to begin with, it even held on for some time. But it never took off after that. Old property, new construction, no sell.. you have seen it all before. There are senseless killings to begin with even for a corrupt environment. I wanted the lead to go on a action spree but it all turned out quite sore. The film doesn't introduce any creativity.

If you are really bored you can give it a go.

Nothing special.

Worth a watch

Not much of a plot, and not much action too. But good perfomances and a consistent mood throughout.

Solid Fight Drama
chrisbrooks-1925928 July 2021
Overall a good movie as I was very entertained. The storyline was solid. There are good fight scenes throughout the movie. The actors did a great job.

Well worth watching if you like fight type movies.

Polish Roadhouse
searchanddestroy-129 July 2021
Any movie buff who has seen ROADHOUSE back in 1989, will recognize a very close scheme in this agreeable Polish acton thriller around a night club, bouncers and racketeers. Nothing much else to add. Just enjoy.

Better than most Hollywood action curd

Believable fight scenes - well choreographed and executed. Simple score but produces fine acting and an exact storyline. Great weekend watch and oreferacle to most HW b-grades....
