Infiltrate was pretty good

 Infiltrate is a low budget action movie. I saw a review of it on Bulletproof action. I had not heard of it before the review.  Agent Lily Chen's husband has been kidnapped and she is called by a mysterious voice on the phone giving her orders if she wants to see her husband again. Seized with Scott Adkins had a similar plot. (It is a little vague what this agency is.) However, she survived a kidnapping and she might not be completely over it. There are flashbacks. Did her husband's kidnappers know about her kidnapping and her trouble leaving it behind? Alain Moussi, the star of the new Kickboxer series, is on hand as the villain. It is good to see him again. He makes a good villain. Fights are good. There is one that gets a bit odd but it is still good. Moussi having only one fight is a bit disappointing but it increases my interest for the next Kickboxer movie. I got this film mostly due to his presence.

King of Killers is decent

 Alain Moussi and Frank Grillo star in this movie about assassins hired to kill another assassin. There are, of course, surprises along the way. The contract becomes, or is revealed as, a contest. This was fun. I think it was worth buying. I like Moussi, so I felt good about buying it. Maybe the last Kickboxer was more fun than this. This is a direct to DVD movie. If you expect this film to match the spectacle of a James Bond or Mission Impossible film, that would be wrong. If the sequel tease bothers you, well I might not agree but I get it. I dislike the opening of the film a bit. It throws you into the action and then there's a flashback to one year earlier. I might rewatch this.
