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.
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.
If they dispensed with the cow scenes (yes, I know why they are there, but it's not clever) and, using the reclaimed time, changed and extended the nonsensical ending then this film would have been a 9/10.
It's a shame. A good film let down by the last 10 minutes.
