A review by MovieGuys
4.0
Written on February 20, 2024
Comes across as an unconvincing remake of the Jean Claude Van Damme movie Lionhart, from 1990.
Van Damme was in his prime when he made this film. The idea of him as an up and coming fighter made sense.Not so much so, in this reviewers estimation, when the lead character is a 58 year old "street fighter." Its a shame too, as I really like Frank Grillo.
In any case, unsurprisingly, the fight scenes feel awkward and unconvincing. Even Scott Adkins, who I believe, would have made for a more credible lead in this role, can't save this action, martial arts, pot boiler.
In summary, a poor story, questionable casting decisions and generally crummy fight scenes, leave little to be desired. Lights Out, indeed.
