Review of the film “John Wick 4” (John Wick: Chapter 4, 2023) from Sergei Volkolak

So what is there, what is there in this critically acclaimed masterpiece of cinematic art? I am writing, so to speak, in hot pursuit, striking iron without leaving the cinema box office, while my fifth point is gradually...

Review of the film "Ambulance" (2022) by Sergei Volkolak

Attention! All hands on deck! Michael Benjamin Bay has given birth to a new cinematic masterpiece! Shock! No one had ever done this before, but he did it! If you haven't seen this work of art yet...

Review of the film "The Mechanik" (2005) by Sergei Volkolak

By the mid-2005s, Dolph Lundgren was mature enough to direct his own films. “The Mechanic” from XNUMX became his second work as a director. The first was "Defender",...

Review of the film "Extremo" (Xtremo, 2021) from Sergei Volkolak

Spain is already trying its hand in the field of hand-to-hand fighters. A country that, first of all, in terms of cinema, I associate with chic and original thrillers and detective stories and quite...

Review of the film "Human Wrath" (Wrath of Man, 2021) by Sergei Volkolak

I'm very happy for Jason Statham (or Statham, I have no idea which is correct) - he finally starred in something other than Fast and the Furious. This has already started to really piss him off. I almost...

Review of the film "Avenging Force" (1986) by Sergei Volkolak

An interesting fact: this film was originally planned as a continuation of the action movie “Invasion of the USA” with Chuck Norris, but something changed and “Punishing Force” became an independent film. Is it really...

Review of the film "KL Special Forces" (KL Special Force, 2018) by Sergei Volkolak

Having learned that a Russian voice-over had appeared for this film, I did not put the matter on the back burner, as they say, and started watching. By the time this picture appeared...

Review of the film "Nobody" (Nobody, 2021) by Sergei Volkolak

Without lying, we can say that the film “Nobody” will be included in a number of nominations when summing up the results of the year, and most likely, it will be a winner somewhere. This became clear after the first action scene...

Review of the film "Such a Cool Bastard" (One Men's Justice, 1996) by Sergei Volkolak

On March 9, Brian Bosworth celebrated his next birthday, and for me this is a very suitable reason to watch a good old action movie with his participation. Since his debut work entitled...

Review of the film “Bridge of Dragons” (1999) by Sergei Volkolak

If you ask me to name a list of my favorite Dolph Lundgren films, Clash of Dragons would be in the top three. At least that's how things stand at the moment, although I haven't looked at everything...

Review of the film "City Police" (Metro, 1997) by Sergei Volkolak

In my opinion, the 1997 action movie "City Police" starring comedian Eddie Murphy, which was once shown on TV under the name "Metro" (although there is nothing about the metro there...

Review of the film “Black and Blue” (2019) by Sergei Volkolak

I found out about the film by chance and quite recently. As it often happens: you look for one thing, you find another. Seeing all the familiar faces in the main roles in the cast, I didn’t put off watching it too much....

Review of the film "Contracts" (Contracts, 2020) by Sergei Volkolak

According to sources, “Contracts” is a pure stunt film. And this, by the way, is noticeable. Alex Chung performed as the “one-man band”. He is a director, an actor, an editor, a screenwriter, a stuntman, and...

Review of the film “Collecting Debts” (The Tax Collector, 2020) from Sergei Volkolak

It’s worth saying right away that the film “Collecting Debts,” directed by David Ayer, has a very distant relationship with the “action” genre. There is no need to be deceived if in some sources in the line “genre” the word is attributed to him...

Review of the film "Retribution" (Wira, 2019) by Sergei Volkolak

A year ago, a hand-to-hand action film directed by Adrian Te was released in Malaysia under the simple and laconic title “Wira”, which in the local language translates as “Hero”. And it would be better if our localizers left...

Review of the film "Invincible" (2020) by Sergei Volkolak

Marko Zaror, having shone in the third part of “Undisputed,” as it seems to me, could build a bright career as an action hero, at least in category B. “Latin Dragon” could now compete on equal terms with...

Review of the film "I Am Vengeance: Retaliation, 2" by Sergei Volkolak

“Vinnie Jones, how did you get away with it!”, “Jean-Paul Lee, what did you get yourself into?!”, “Tim Man, what did you get yourself into?!” - these and similar thoughts visited my head with enviable regularity and a half...

Review of the film "Lost Bullet" (Balle perdue, 2020) by Sergei Volkolak

For lovers of strong action, the gift came from an unexpected place: French filmmakers produced a very good action movie this year. On their own, without the help of the United States or other countries, for which they can only...

Review of the film "Hostage" (aka "Capture", Seized, 2020) from Sergei Volkolak

Another collaboration between director Isaac Florentine and action actor Scott Adkins has given birth to a new action movie. I think many were waiting for their reunion and subsequent collaborations. Why these two deserved great love from the audience, needless to say...

Review of the film "The 2nd" (The 2020nd, XNUMX) by Sergei Volkolak

Before us is another action film, filmed for “three kopecks,” or even one and a half kopecks. The production is as flawed as possible. It's rare to see such hack work. I wouldn't be surprised at all...
