Ranking September 2016's Movies - From Worst To Best
10. Kickboxer: Vengeance
RottenTomatoes Score: 43% (4.6/10)
Box Office: As the $17 million movie had a highly limited theatrical engagement and is already available on Blu-ray, profit data is basically impossible to come by.
Verdict: It's tempting to sneer at this reboot from the sidelines considering that nobody really asked for it, but Kickboxer: Vengeance is a surprisingly not-terrible, well-directed martial arts flick.
Yes, it's beholden to the usual glut of cliches that have plagued the genre for decades, but it's sharply directed by John Stockwell, there's a ton of well-choreographed action, and for the love of God, it's even got Jean-Claude Van Damme in a deliciously entertaining supporting role, while Dave Bautista plays the villain with the requisite menace.
By its nature, this one was always going to earn mixed reviews, but as far as rainy day action flicks go, it's much better than you're probably expecting.
