Marko Zaror makes a statement on his martial arts skills — as a fighter and fight director — in “Affinity,” a B-picture that drifts into C-movie territory every time the fighting stops.

A towering brawler who figured prominently in the last “John Wick” movie, “The Fist of the Condor” and “Alita: Battle Angel,” Zaror plays a grieving soldier sucked into Thai intrigues when a strange beauty with no memory (Jane Mirro) washes up on his riverside shack’s dock.

We have just enough time to wonder why he doesn’t call Milan to see if any runway models are missing when an old comrade from his special forces days (Brooke Ence) and a vet who “served with your dad” who now runs a Thai diner (Louis Mandylor) pitch in to solve this mystery and track down the legions of masked minions who want to grab Ms. “I think I’ll call myself Athena.”

Bruno lost his brother on a mission, back in the day. Now he’s suicidal and it’s all his old pals Fitch (Ence) and Joe (Mandylor) can do to keep that pistol out of his mouth.

Zaror shows off some impressive moves, right from the first time Bruno is roofied and wakes up to fight his way out of a jam. Flying kicks, accidental headbutts and the like can’t keep him from getting choked out — not once, but more than once. But no worries. The bad guys make take a lot of KIAs from his kicking, stabbing and shooting. But in the manner of many a B and C movie, they always let him live.

Ence, it’s worth mentioning, is pretty credible in a throwdown, too, a blonde-haired fury and walking muscle.

Veteran stuntman Brahim Chab plays the goateed brawler who seems to have Bruno’s number. And Ego Mikitas is the evil scientist in this Bond-without-ambition budget.

Remember the “flowers” part of the plot of “Moonraker?”

The dialogue is a collection of cliched inane nonsense.

“Where did you get this?“

“Go f–k yourself!”

“You better not be f—–g with us!”

It’s worth considering that we just heard the guy refuse to talk, and yet we’re hearing a threat related to him giving bad information, not no information at all.

“I’m not f—–g telling you anything,” he repeats, as plainly Bruno and Fitch are not good listeners.

It’s the kind of movie in which a character uses that dying breath to to declare “I needed this.”

The acting isn’t always embarassing, and Zaror’s accent may be thick, but that never stopped Schwarzenegger, Van Damme or Jackie Chan.

Maybe he’ll get that shirtless Jason Statham break. But seeing as how he’s a credited co-writer on “Affinity,” it’s pretty obvious he can’t write that break for himself.
