About Bloodfist VIII: Trained to Kill
A former CIA agent lives a suburban life as a high school teacher with his teen son. When the agent is attacked by former allies because of knowledge he possesses and his son is kidnapped, he is forced back into the business and his son suddenly sees a side of his father that he never knew existed.
Directed by Rick Jacobson, Bloodfist VIII: Trained to Kill leans on a strong ensemble — Don Wilson, John Patrick White, Jillian McWhirter — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about action titles of 1996.
