As a high-octane action film, X-Treme Fighter from 2004 features an all-star cast headlined by martial arts icons Don Wilson and Cynthia Rothrock. They play the roles of Nick Corrigan and Sharon Bellamy, two estranged fighters brought back together when an organization known as the KSA (Korean Secret Agency) recruits them to bring down an underground fighting circuit.

Lorenzo Lamas co-stars as the enigmatic leader of the KSA, General Roberts, who persuades Corrigan and Bellamy to go undercover to expose and defeat the circuit's mastermind, a ruthless triad leader known as Sonny Wong. Along the way, they encounter a motley crew of fellow fighters, including a young up-and-comer named Jack (played by Alex Revan), who becomes a key ally in their mission.

X-Treme Fighter boasts a thrilling blend of martial arts action, dramatic tension, and political intrigue. The film's fight scenes are choreographed by the legendary Art Camacho, who has worked on numerous Hollywood action films and brings his signature flair to the proceedings. Camacho's expertise is evident in the film's dynamic fight sequences, which showcase the combat skills of both Wilson and Rothrock in a series of intense battles.

While the action sequences are undoubtedly the film's strongest asset, X-Treme Fighter also attempts to offer a compelling storyline that delves into themes of loyalty, betrayal, and redemption. The relationship between Corrigan and Bellamy is at the heart of the film, as they gradually come to understand the truth about their past and the reasons for their estrangement. The two actors have a natural chemistry that makes their scenes together both entertaining and emotionally resonant.

Lorenzo Lamas, meanwhile, brings his trademark charisma to the role of General Roberts, who is revealed to have his own complex motivations and allegiances. Fans of Lamas will also appreciate his character's penchant for stylish jackets and sunglasses, which give him a distinct 'cool factor' despite his villainous tendencies.

Despite these strengths, X-Treme Fighter does have its flaws. Some of the dialogue is clunky and ham-fisted, particularly when attempting to address the film's political themes. The pacing can also feel uneven at times, as the film tries to balance its various plot threads and character arcs. However, these issues are minor in the grand scheme of things, and do little to detract from the film's overall entertainment value.

In summary, X-Treme Fighter is a fun and thrilling action movie that showcases the talents of two martial arts legends. With its dynamic fights, engaging characters, and intriguing storyline, it is sure to satisfy fans of the genre.

X-Treme Fighter is a 2005 action movie with a runtime of 1 hour and 30 minutes. It has received mostly poor reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 2.6.
