The Liberator (2017)
Good old fashion B-Movie Action
A thoroughly enjoyable, stress free watch! The chemistry between all the actors is spot on and the interaction between the leading man and the supporting cast is well balanced and at times highly amusing. In fact Ben Lettieri has a laid back charm that is welcomed and very refreshing if you're tired of your heroes always trying to act tough and give it the big 'I am'. I bet he has a lot of 'haters' out there. The martial arts, although not of Bruce Lee caliber, is fantastic! The filmmakers understand how to alter the techniques for film in order to be more aesthetically pleasing and we get a real mix of players and styles, kung fu, kickboxing, karate, wrestling, jiu-jitsu and more probably. I also enjoyed the fact that the fights weren't too overdone for a martial arts flick. Again the filmmakers did an excellent job of finding, in my opinion, the perfect balance of stylized and realistic choreography. It does all have a kind of guilty pleasure vibe to it but it absolutely works and you can take that naughty comment as a complement.
