Diablo: Revenge, Redemption, and Violence in Colombia

As we all know, Columbia is known for action movies, which include a lot of acrobatics. Meanwhile, this movie, as titled, has a lot based on reflection and stars the likes of Marko Zaror and Scott Adkins, which has to do with the Diablo film 2024. Within this movie is Kris Chaney, who is known as Scott Adkins, who acted as the man who came out of the prison just to look for revenge for what he had promised; rather, protecting a woman known as Elisa, who was a daughter of a gangster in the movie.

Also within this captivating movie, I discovered that it was set on the streets of Bogota, Colombia. So with this movie I was able to discover that this movie is really a quality action movie, which really made it a movie that hits hard, which is really brutal in play. Which I discovered is really tight, intense, and emotional as well. Through the intense play have Kris, Elisa, and El Colvo, which all play out to show loyalty and sacrifice, trust through action, and redemption through action and emotion despite the fighting in the movie.

It all plays out that it all started as a meme, which played down to the side of Scott Adkins and Marko Zaror throwing their hands to each other, which captured my attention and made me more interested to see the end, which took me unawares to finish the series of scenes within this movie. It all happened that Scott Adkins, who played Kris Chaney, is a prisoner who just regained his freedom, and I noticed that he is not fighting for revenge but to keep the promise that he has made, which is that he vowed that he will protect Elisa, a girl who is a daughter of a gangster who is well known in the movie.

In the play of this movie, funny enough, the father of this girl, known as Vicente, made arrangements with another man known as El Corvo (Marko Zaror) just to bring down Kris, which escalated the tension, thereby causing a series of violence that brought chaos all around. The truth here is that the martial art here is exceptional, which involves a lot of punches and kicks and a lot of tricks that I believe are not real, which really made this movie interesting.

But the surprising part of it was that I account for these movies that convey emotions, of which I can say that Kris wasn’t the perfect man to be the hero to look upon, and of which I also discovered that Elisa wasn’t as helpful, which made her fight against him with a lot of misunderstanding, which I can tell you that it all became emotional when there was a shift in the relationship in between, which left her there, thereby making her become unprotected, which really left them at the verge of the survivor of the fittest. But one thing I observed is that El Corvo is just brutal; he doesn’t talk as much, but his killing keeps counting for him.

But one thing I learned from this movie that made me rate it 8/10 is that power is not by fighting only; rather, it is all about what you can do, just as Kris did, just fulfilling his promise despite it costing him a play in between death and life, which I love. His instinct is not to give up despite being exhausted; he always remains brave to continue just to meet up with Revenge, Redemption, and Violence in Colombia, as the title of the movie implies. Despite the movie ending with pain, it makes it all more realistic because nothing was sugarcoated, which made it so gritty.
