farang
A fateful chain of violence forces Sam to flee abroad. Five years later, he has made a good life for himself in Thailand with his wife Mia and daughter Dara, supplementing his income by staging Thai boxing matches. But his brutal past won't let him go. The local gangster boss Narong has heard of him and is demanding an extortionate tribute. Soon Sam sees no other way out but to embark on a death-defying, powerful campaign. Against Narong, against his dozens of henchmen, against everyone - the day of vengeance has come and no one can stop him!
Former MMA fighter Nassim Lyes embodies the character of the blindly raging hero with unparalleled power, and Xavier Gens' spectacularly filmed and choreographed close-combat action film of shattered bones and battered bodies is a match for the likes of THE RAID and TAKEN.
