Watch Final Round For Free

Pretty Good

It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Well this movie is not bad... its just correct... Maybe this is the whole problem. It kinda try to find its mark. The general script is a total rip off of "The running Man" starring good ol Arnie. Now i remember the running man and it was no martial art movie. So you could think having Lorenzo as your main character, there could be lots of martial arts right? But no... this movie dosen't deliver on that side either. A couple fights here and there, but really basic "kick boxing" stuff, nothing impressive, no emotions whatsoever. Can't say i was bored by that movie, but can't say i was really into it either. Its kind of like a lower degree Running Man and the martial arts aspect is totally on the side... like they include some sure, but nothing impressive at all.At some point i am starting to think maybe Lorenzo didn't do anything much impressive outside Final Impact. Cause yeah Final Impact(Not Final Round) is one of my classic martial arts movie of the 90s. One of my favourite. He was not the lead, but had a big role and was on the cover of it. But after that, i tried finding many movies with him and either he had no martial arts role at all, or the movie where he was supposed to have a lots of martial arts look impressive but in the end where pretty much disappointing. Night of the warrior, Bounty Tracker for example, even fighting THE best villain in martial arts movies, Mattias Hues, the movie manage to have very few martial arts scene and unimpressive fights. Now am i too demanding? Maybe when i buy/rent a martial arts movie, i hope there will be tons of it, maybe its just because final impact have a huge part in my childhood(one of the first martial arts movie i saw, yet re watching it 15 years later it was still awesome) but well i am disappointed of other Lorenzo's movie i saw. The guy is a real black belt in life, i don't understand why he can't manage to do as good as Cynthia Rothrock, Don Wilson and Richard Norton did in the 90s

Not the worst movie of its type. Not even the worst movie of the same plot. But, still kind of bad. The production values and the photography were okay. The direction was unobtrusive. And they could have gone for a lot more gore than they did. (This is a good thing) Most of the acting was mediocre, at best. Lorenzo Lamas is sort of known for this. Same same. The fighters were utter caricatures, and the fighting was medium to badly choreographed. The best acting was by a woman playing a mobster's moll. I guess from the cast list it must have been Isabelle Mejias. Kathleen Kinmont was okay. Those of you looking for erotic nudity (you know who you are) should look elsewhere. Kinmont looked good, and the boobies were nice, but in the sex scene it looked like Lamas was trying to pop them. Not really worth a rental.

"The Running Man"'s poor cousin. There, that should be enough for a plot description. Not that "Final Round" doesn't have a certain amount of B-movie charm, and even a sense of humor at times. But it is VERY slow-moving, with limited and basic kickboxing action. Of course the fact that Kathleen Kinmont does a striptease followed by a love scene in this film may be enough to make it worth seeing for some viewers, including me (she looks incredible), but her basically helpless character is a far cry (and not in a good way) from the ass-kicking Alexa that she played in two movies also co-starring Lorenzo Lamas at around the same time. Worth noting: Isabel Mejias (who was really impressive as a killer child in the 1982 thriller "Julie Darling") has a very small role - the girlfriend of a mob boss who has bet millions of dollars on Lamas being the last man standing - but she manages to make it funny and memorable.

Target audience: Adolescent boys. Period.Variation on "Running Man" - ok - who are they kidding? RIPOFF of any Arnold movie complete with such dialog as "uplink" and "Hasta la vista, baby." Lorenzo Lamas as an Arnold wannabe that actually claims to be a "Chuck Norris fan", at one point. Good grief.Bad acting, bad music, paper thin script, oh so silly. Next time I'm flipping channels and I see Lorenzo Lamas in the credits, I'll just keep on flipping...as I usually do. Maybe I just couldn't locate the remote and I was feeling particularly lazy that day. Who knows?Here's another Lamas line: "Ya, I think I've seen this movie before." Me too. So why'd you make another one so badly?
