Martial Arts action star Marko Zaror has cemented himself as a premiere action guy in the business. He has popped up in an impressive variety of films including John Wick 4, The Killer’s Game, Machete Kills, Fight or Flight and more recently Diablo taking on another martial arts action star Scott Adkins.

Affinity follows an ex-SEAL struggling with PTSD. He lives a life in fear of his demons until one day when he discovers a beautiful woman with no past of her own. Together they begin to build a life, but when she disappears, Bruno must return to his violent past if he’s going to save her from a shocking conspiracy.

His unique style and taller larger frame always make his insane kicking ability all the more impressive. He cuts
