The Debt Collector

This movie is an absolute gem. I haven't laughed so hard in a while. The chemistry between the two men, a degenerate drunk and the disciplined, clean-cut new guy, is great and the situations they get into get more and more crazy.

Really entertaining and funny.

I was not expecting much from this but boy was i surprised

Superb acting mainly from Costas Mandylor's (SAW Movie Series) brother Louis who plays...wait for it SUE an ultra hard man repo agent...lol It was his performance and acting that made the entire film for me.

I actually thought the two characters were a great buddy team , haven't seen many as good as this since Riggs and Murtaugh Lethal Weapon.

Great humour and although the story was a bit lacklustre and of the standard by the numbers design, the fight scenes were very well done and the humour was spot on.

All in all a crackingly good movie that beats all of the blockbuster ones out this year into a cocked hat and whilst its not perfect its a rather good debut appearance from the main character Scott Adkins.

Scott Adkins gets drawn into the world of debt collecting, and depends on his fighting skills and Louis Mandylors lessons to learn the rules. The world is however full of betrayal, and lines that Adkins won't cross.

What makes this better than average is that Adkins seems to have found the kind of role in which he is comfortable, and doesn't hide is British accent. The movie doesn't have very many fight scenes, but the fights you do get, are more realistic and grounded, instead of tricking and flipping.

But the best part is that the acting is surprisingly decent, and there is even some chemistry between the two lead actors, which makes watching their scenes and listening to their dialogue entertaining.

All in all this is a decent action movie.

Far to be bad, in large lines is exactly what you expect. Fights, cases, Scott Adkins. But it has two great virtues saving it from the status of other cheep martial art/ action film. The first is the good humor. The second / the chemistry between the lead characters and a real surprising Louis Mandylor. So, a decent film.

The chemistry between Luis Mandylor and Scott Adkins is amazing in this. Not sure whos idea it was and how they ended up together on screen, but you can tell they really work with and off each other more than nicely. Having said that, the story itself is nothing special. The title says it all - well you can guess what they do and it won't take a genius to guess how they collect (or try to).

Great fight scenes overall, Scott Adkins has worked with this director a couple of times now, which is always a good thing when it comes to working smoothly. What may be a bit surprising (at least was for me), that Luis Mandylor looks quite good when he actually gets to fight! Scott Adkins you expect him to be great and he is, but Luis? Which may be a testament to the director, fight choreographer and the stunt man of course, but also to his willingness to learn a bit (and maybe he did have some prior boxing knowledge that I was just not aware of).

Combine all that and you get a more than decent and very amusing/entertaining movie. You have to like this stuff of course (blood and some nudity included)! If not than you won't like it, simple as that.
