Ex-con Kris Chaney seizes the daughter of a Colombian gangster to fulfill a noble promise to the young girl's mother. When her father enlists both the criminal underworld and a psychotic killer to exact his revenge, Kris relies on everything he's ever learned to stay alive and keep his word.
Meedily meedily meeeeeeeeee. Classic, solid action flick.
Lots of shooting and fighting. The story develops. The characters become more fleshed out. Interesting locations.
I'm not sure why they can't consistently give poor Scott Adkins, a well rounded action flick worthy of his martial arts talents?
There have been a few of his action films that were well done but "Diablo" isn't one of them. A pervading sense of "B grade" rears its head throughout this film. From the hammy daughter lost daddy back story, the cheesy captain Hook style villain, to the badly choreographed fight scenes, there's little to like here.
I managed about half of this before throwing my hands up in despair and walking away.
In summary, I wish I could say nice things because I like Scott Adkins but well, it is what it is, which is pretty bad, in most respects.
