We got our hands on the “Debt Collector”. A good movie for a beer. The fights are so-so, but the acting of Scott and his partner, the atmosphere of the film is on a par with “Accident.”
I watched “Incoming” yesterday. IMHO - "hat". Scott is working a guest (albeit controversial) role in something like a teleplay for 10 actors, where you can only highlight a couple of knife fights... that's it. The Serbian debut is a miss.
But "Accident" by Jesse Johnson, as well as the same director, "Debt Collector - pleased me! A sort of "John Wick" for the poor, but that doesn’t mean it was filmed poorly! And the phrase: “The problem with Russian jocks is... that they need to be hit suddenly and preferably with something metal" was generally a pleasure... The action is good (Tim Man? - he was in one of the scenes), although too staged, Jay White lazily blocked Adkins' blows in a funny way, it was felt that he restrains himself))). Ray Park pleased, Stevenson, as always, is at his best. But the main thing with Johnson is that Scott Adkins PLAYS, and does not just go from action scene to action scene.... In general, a tandem: director Jesse Johnson - actor Scott Adkins makes me happy.
Alex Permin,
Regarding Incoming, is Adkins worth watching? Or can I skip it?
Alex Ship,
Well, he’s trying there))), there’s like a “twist” in the plot. But you can skip it. Without damage. IMHO of course.
It's just that compared to two films from Jesse Johnson with his participation, this film is very weak.
Alex Permin,
Agree. It makes me happy too. Looking forward to Triple Threat)
It seems like Atkins (I beg you to ask me for this writing, in my youth I read “Treasure Island”; he is already filming in “Ip Man 4”. I bet that the role will be like that of Darren Shahlavi in the second film. At least on HKMDB he in the caste there is
All three projects are of interest. Maybe not masterpieces, but still. Comedy is a new role for Adkins, which is of course good.
Debt collector with translation has been online for three weeks now, Incoming appeared on torrents three days ago (without translation yet)
