5/10

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

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

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.

Decent to watch

Bartkowiak 2021 is a category of action, thriller movie i say. This movie is good to watch if you do not have any other options to watch anything else. Story was a bit disappointed and other everything was okay. I'll suggest you to watch if you are looking for some thriller and little action moments. Although i would give it more stars if the story was nice and perfect. They could make it more catchy if the focused on story. But yeah it is still good to watch. It is basically about two brothers story and the rest you will find out after watching full movie.

06 September 2024 Watched Hindi Dubbed Version On Netflix.

Polish Roadhouse

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.

Storyline good, but VERY basic from the middle of the movie

Good action and excellent storyline until the middle. Basic end.. The idea was interesting, but it got lost along the way. I expected the "enemy" to be harder to defeat and harder to catch. Instead, it was a continuous fight of the kind that kills first. Too bad, it could have been a successful film. Another minus is that the main actress was presented as a fighter and she failed to defend herself at all, in fact in every conflict she fell first. The kind of movie that reveals to you from the beginning who is responsible, and the hero waits for the enemy to take him down so he can retaliate. I expected a story with more intrigue and obstacles on the way. Instead, it was just a constant exchange of punches and kicks.

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....
