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.

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.

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.

Was weary when starting to watch this, can't stand all action supermen or hero films. Yes there's the usual brilliant choreographed fights when martial arts enable you to beat 3 opponents ( yawn ). But then the story starts and is actually plausible, hardmen or ex - service are drawn to this type of employment. Then the leading duo take us on a ride that has some laughs, some violence, and a little insight to them. Not great, but watchable film if you've something better to do forget it, if not just waste the time well.

"The Debt Collector," is a good movie with outstanding acting performances from Scott Adkins (French) and Louis Mandylor (Sue). If you like non-stop skull cracking and hand to hand combat scenes, this is a movie you have to watch. Adkins plays French, a gym owner who gets so far behind on his bills that he's forced to take a job as a mob enforcer. He's paired with Sue (Louis Mandylor), who schools him on which of their "appointments" will likely turn violent and which merely involve startling unprepared punters into paying what they owe. The story is slim and straightforward. Pay what you owe or face the consequences, following the two tough guys as they cruise through Los Angeles. If you are a Scott Adkins fan and/or Louis Mandylor fan, a must see. Even more now as the sequel is ready.
