Van Damme does what he knows best - fight! Bloodsort is the true story of Frank Dux, a very talented martial artist, participating in a brutal underground fighting tournament in Hong Kong. There is no real plot, of course, but the fighting choreography is very good, as far as we keep in mind that this is an 80s flick. Compared to what we are use to seeing today, Bloodsport can be considered quite boring with very unrealistic fighting sequences. The always sweating Muscles from Brussels doesn´t even try acting. So what? That´s not what we want him do do, we want him to fight and do his awesome karate-tricks. Very good, ´cause that is what we get. Van Damme may have lost it in recent times producing only B-movie crap, but back in 1988 he really had what it takes to make a fine, entertaining, action-packed film.
