    Great Punches....

    The whole Movie is fill with action from Start To End, The Problem Is the Ending Of the Movie. The Climax is boring that's why most people dont like it,other than story is good, Acting is Good, Action is great,Thriller is bit low.

    Two nice guys

    "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.

    Better than the average martial arts movie

    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.

    Loved this movie

    I'm surprise this wasn't billed as a comedy/action because it's pretty hilarious (but it gets more and more serious towards the end). Great chemistry between Scott Adkins and Louis Mandylor (who delivers a wonderfully nuanced performance as always, particularly his monologue when he describes why he drinks). The pristine 1971 Coupe de Ville adds an interesting character.

    Twofold

    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.
