Reminiscent of an early Jean-Claude Van Damme film

Scorpion (Momentum, e24.99) is reminiscent of an early Jean-Claude Van Damme film, so if fighting isn’t your thing, give this a wide berth.

Clovis Cornillac plays Angelo, a former kickboxing champion whose world implodes when he is jailed for killing a man in a street fight, finds himself betrayed by his lover and turns himself into the ultimate fighting machine.

Watching people bludgeon themselves to a pulp is not my thing, but if that’s what you want, this is for you.
