A Brilliant Conflict

Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

BOYKA is the fourth of the UNDISPUTED franchise and once again sees Scott Adkins reprising his role as the unimitable Yuri Boyka, 'most complete fighter in the world'. The plot is a little different this time around and much more character-focused as Boyka finds religion and attempts to make amends for a past transgression. The story is set outside of a prison now so the plot is more gangster themed, but don't fear, there's still a sequence of splendid ring fights that don't disappoint. Although Isaac Florentine wasn't able to come back and direct, the Russian guy they found does a top job and the action choreography is as good as ever. I found this to be the best of the series thus far, purely because it has more heart to it and the presence of a woman in the cast (gasp!) turns out to be an asset rather than a detraction. It's very similar in tone to Van Damme's excellent A.W.O.L. Adkins shows off great range as the hard-man hero and his character arc is solid. The last 30 minutes is chock-full of top action and suspense, with newcomer Martyn Ford standing out as the big bad fighter and an amazing climax to top it off.

In the fourth installment of the fighting franchise, Boyka is shooting for the big leagues when an accidental death in the ring makes him question everything he stands for.For being the fourth film in a series, this is actually a rather good movie. Perhaps it might be dismissed as just a fight movie, particularly one from Bulgaria of all places (who knew they even made films there?). But there is not only some great martial arts, but actually a rather interesting plot.This is really a story about redemption, sacrifice and penance. Now, it could be seen as contrived, but it never really came across in that way for me. Certainly an interesting character in a unique situation.

Great and unexpected plot twist.This part of the franchise basically shows that Yuri is not just fighting machine,and that he has heart and soul.Definitely person I would want to be like.If you buy this movie,you will not regret it,it is best.I really really really hope they make 5. part.Best franchise and movie ever.I personally think that it is even better than Fast and Furious 5,6,7 and 8 all combined..

This B-movie got some nice fights and like other martial arts movies there is terrible acting and story line going on as tradition is in these all out testosteron flicks.But actually it almost becomes a comedy when the actors speak, i had some good laughs.My expectations weren't high so i wasn't disappointed and enjoyed watching the movie.
