KNOCKDOWN

Cinemavixion Review

Todd Bellanca's "Knockdown" plunges viewers into the grimy, neon-lit underbelly of Bangkok, offering a visceral exploration of a former boxer's desperate flight from a violent past. The film stars Tom Arnold, Bai Ling, Casey Evans, and Nick Faltas, with the narrative centering on an exiled American pugilist who finds himself ensnared once more by the world of fighting after encountering a cryptic fan from his hometown. As Jack "The Ripper" Stemmons, Evans (supported by Arnold's presence) navigates a treacherous landscape of crime and addiction, his attempts to escape his history proving futile. The plot, detailed further by external sources, reveals a Bangkok underworld orchestrated by a Russian gangster, intent on luring Jack back into the ring for underground bouts. While the film garnered 2 wins and an IMDb rating of 4.0/10, its gritty portrayal of redemption and the inescapable nature of one's past resonates through its narrative, even as it explores the darker corners of human experience.
