Disappointed, but still good.

In no ways is this a bad film, it just left with a lot to be desired. Let's start with the good! The few action scenes there were in this film were really fun and engaging, they weren't super original per say, (there's the nightclub fight scene that is in every single action movie now) but fun nonetheless. The performances were pretty good, and I really dug the directing. Now the issues, first and foremost, I felt like this film was too short (which is not a common issue for me to have), but it's hard for me to believe that this movie wouldn't have improved with an extra 10 to 15 minutes of runtime, it would've given the ability to fix my next issue, a severe lack of depth in any of the characters. Even in the leading duo, you learn about their tragic backstory, they make out, and that's about it. The actors did well portraying the characters, I just didn't like the characters. Overall this film was mildly annoying, because the concept and directing gave me so much hope that this was gonna be a really unique movie, but it all got lost inside of action cliches, and sloppy writing.

Flat Punch

"K. O." starts off with the promise of a hard-hitting thriller but fails to fully deliver on its premise. The setup has potential, and there are a few moments of well-shot tension, but overall, the movie feels uneven and undercooked.The biggest weakness lies in the script-it lacks nuance, relies on clichés, and doesn't offer much depth to its characters. What could have been an intense psychological or action-driven ride instead becomes a collection of generic scenes strung together with little emotional payoff. The pacing drags in places, and even the fight choreography-expected to be a highlight-is inconsistent.Some performances do their best to elevate the material, and there are flashes of style in the cinematography, but it's not enough to save the film from mediocrity. By the end, "K. O." feels like a missed opportunity more than anything else.Not terrible, but not memorable either.

K.O in an O.K French actioner

As I have already said before, from now on, and I guess for a long time, all French action movies will be released only thru streaming platforms; not in movie theaters. This one takes place in Marseille, the French "underwolrd" city, the French place where there are the most important gangsters, kingpins in terms of drug traffic, armored truck robbers, racketters...Antoine Blossier the director was not used to action films before, he is not Julien Leclercq nor any other ones specialized in badass plots whose movies are available on streaming platforms. The result is above average, far better than the former Europacorp Luc Besson's crap factory. Good character depiction. The lead actor makes me think of Idris Elba, he has gifts in acting, not only fist fighting.
