Why watch this film?
"Najmro: Steal, Cheat, Respect" is a movie based on the life of Zdzisław “Najmro” Najmrodzki, one of the most famous Polish thieves from the 1970s and 1980s. Having escaped from authorities 29 times, including train escapes, out of a courtroom window, from the Warsaw police headquarters, and from prison, it's no wonder the production about Najmro is called 'The King of Escapes'. This is a humorous feature-length film with an accelerated pace and well worth watching. The story is basically a Polish version of 'Catch Me If You Can' - who would have thought Frank Abagnale Jr. would have his own multiverse?! It's important to note that Dawid Ogrodnik is excellent as The King of Escapes, as is actress Dorota Kolak, who brings the criminal's mother to life.

Action
The Witch: Part 2. The Other One
The Witch: Part 2. The Other One - A fast-paced action, mystery and thriller film that follows a young woman with impressive telekinetic powers, desperately fighting for her life while unraveling the mysteries of her past, pursued by unscrupulous killers. With Blue Dragon Award nominations for Best Supporting Actress (Seo Eun-su) and Best New Actress (Cynthia), this film captures the protagonist's intense battle to find answers and justice, facing not only her persecutors, but also to his own inner demons.
Bloodsport
Jean-Claude Van Damme makes his starring debut in the descriptively titled Bloodsport. An American soldier at large in Hong Kong, Van Damme becomes involved in the Kumite, a highly illegal kickboxing competition. Whoever survives the bout will be crowned Kumite champion of the world…a title that has plenty of challengers with homicide in their hearts. The finale offers a duel to the death between Van Damme and reigning Kumite king Bolo Yeung. The script is based on the real-life exploits of martial arts champ Frank Dux, who serves as the film's fight coordinator.
War on Terror: KL Anarchy
Khalid, a rebellious cop from an elite special force must prove he is able to work as a team in order to thwart terrorist threats to bring down Kuala Lumpur.
The Order
In The Order, Van Damme plays a man accused of murder who seeks a sacred scripture in Jerusalem before it falls into the wrong hands, jeopardizing his freedom. With shades of Dan Brown and a script by Jean Claude Van Damme himself, alongside Les Weldon (screenwriter of another action star film, Replicant), the movie is what every fan of the Belgian actor wants: brawling, with a fun plot, and never boring.
