The frame rate makes Boyka look too fast to look credible (Adkins is fast enough on his own) and the photography isn’t exactly top notch. Director Todor Chapkanov doesn’t have much experience at the helm and it shows. The last several years have been kind to Adkins’ fans, but we all still wanted more of the role that truly made him famous: BOYKA! After killing a fighter in the ring, Boyka (Scott Adkins) seeks to redeem himself by paying off his dead opponent’s widow’s (Teodora Duhovnikova) debts to a Russian gangster by agreeing to three profitable organized fights. Ever since we first met Scott Adkins (Doctor Strange, Ninja: Shadow of a Tear, The Expendables 2, Universal Solder: Day of Reckoning, El Gringo, Assassination Games, Hard Target 2) and his flair for technical stunts and martial arts fight choreography, we’ve wanted to see him in more significant action movie roles. But we do get MORE ADKINS AS BOYKA, and I’m pretty sure that’s all we really wanted. This (along with part III) isn’t a very good sequel the story isn’t good and the writing sucks.
