Marko Zaror’s DNA is all over the movie Affinity. And not just because, at one point, he says, “Here’s your DNA, motherfucker,” then flings his own blood all over a dude’s face. He’s a producer, the creative team features many of his frequent collaborators (for example, Fist of the Condor director Ernesto Diaz Espinoza edited the movie), he has a story-by credit and a screenwriting credit, and he’s the fight/action director. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention, he’s also the star. The fights are, as expected in his capable hands, excellent, Zaror has the chance to do some different things, acting wise, and there’s a big, wild swing at the end that I don’t think entirely lands, and that is kind of nonsense, but that I freaking love. All in an 80-minute package.
