Of course, White will never reach the level of the second "Undisputed" and "Blood and Bone", but here he looks in great shape. It feels like the film is worth watching.
And in general, he is a great actor, colorful and charismatic.
And “Thunder” from the trailer looks even more interesting than the first part.
I agree about Thunder. Looks more interesting than "Plague Doctor" from the trailer.
