Unseen spirit & nbsp;90s... By chance I saw this film on TV, but there it was called the Rage of a fighter.
The film tells the story of Jack, who has lived in Thailand since childhood and when his parents are shot outside his home, he is taken into custody by his father’s friend and companion. The son of the guardian Iron becomes the named brother of Jack, but after 30 years, their paths diverge – Jack owns his father’s company, and Iron, simply speaking, a bandit. Naturally, Iron does not like that the company went to Jack and framed him, blamed on him the murder of a Thai girl. After leaving prison on bail, Jack decides to investigate what is happening and punish the perpetrators.
Not a bad film, from which simply carries the most beloved spirit of the 90s. The same spirit when everyone watched the same kind of uncomplicated action movies and was happy, not crazy about Avatar and Harry Potter. The very spirit when one-voice author’s translations of Zhivov, Gavrilov and many others were much better than any dubbing there. The very spirit when poor film quality is normal, as it should be, everyone watched and did not complain, unlike modern cinema, when there were all sorts of HD, 3D and so on.
The music in the film is also of that era, such music simply plunges you into the world of action movies of the 90s. There is no rap, calm measured music, than swiping one another from different movies. At that time, I was just mad at this music (just remember the song Fight to Love from Blood Sports).
The actors are not familiar, except for Jack, played by Australian actor Richard Norton. My acquaintance with Richard came when I watched the Honour and Fury dilogy, where he was paired with Cynthia Rothrock to crush criminals right and left. Two great movies that I’ve seen more than once or twice. However, it was often impossible to see Norton on screens, I did not particularly come across films with him at that time. Under the Sight (better known in Russia as the Steel Fist), two films with Jackie Chan - Mr. Cool and the City Hunter, also at an older age saw him in the sequel to the Roadside Institution. A good actor, films with whom, unfortunately, in Russia on TV were shown and shown very rarely.
The film was directed by Anthony Maharaj, who together with Anger made 4 films, each of which starred Richard Norton. Apparently, Maharaj liked how Norton waved his legs.
A good film with the simplest plot, not particularly worked out scenes of battles and not the best shooting quality. But all these disadvantages didn’t matter to me – I watched a film never seen before, with a good actor-fighter in the lead role and a great unforgettable spirit of the 90s. For just one spirit, you can put a dozen. But I will be more specific, so:
7 out of 10
