I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

I guess you have to be into MMA to like this and then, well, you sort of have to ONLY care about MMA.I'll give it props for how it was funded. It is clear that it is a labor of love for those involved in the sport, which is why I gave it a try.I mean, I love baseball movies and most of those are love letters to the sport. But those tend to be love letters written by actual writers.This is more a love letter written by someone that loves the sport, but hates writing and knows nothing about crafting a story.Like MMA, writing is a hard thing to do, making an enjoyable story is even harder.Credit to the attempt, but cool fight scenes without a story behind it is kinda really boring.

This film touched all aspects of great entertainment. Action, comedy and love. It pulled on my heart strings, made me laugh out loud and had me intrigued through the whole film. It engages both those interested in martial arts and those didn't know they were. You'll be on the edge of your seat as this story unfolds. There are great actors who deliver to their potential ad well as unknown names who set new standards. There is a hot level of excitement that reaches all crowds, from Vegas nights to fantastic eye candy. There was not one full moment in this film keeping the whole audience engaged. You will not be disappointed. Never has there been a film in martial arts that has actors with such martial art experience. A fight scene is not just a movie, it's true action.

Just a great "feel good" movie full of great MMA fight scenes. I'm so tired of the illegal underground fight movies that send out a negative message and giving MMA a bad rap. This movie has Rocky, and the Karate kid wrapped together providing the viewers with a pleasant experience. I enjoyed watching REAL MMA fighters like Frank Shamrock and Grey Maynard instead of actors act like fighters. Also good to see the training scenes filmed at the TAPOUT gym in Las Vegas. Ving Rhames, is classic as the gym owner and trainer and George Takei is alway fun to watch as he plays the villain running a corrupt made for TV fight show. John Savage was also a nice surprise as he plays the prison warden. Ernie Reyes is the movies hero who has to take on life's hurdles as he struggles with life, love and family. Great Job fellas, in my opinion this is a must see!

Possibly the best of the growing genre of mixed martial arts films, is also a really good action film as well. The plot is simple, Eddie Reyes Junior is sprung by warden John Savage so that he can fight in the Red Canvas tournaments that are held by evil George Takei.Savage senses something more behind Ryes' eyes and wants to give him a chance a redeeming himself.Takei on the other hand just wants to make money and TV ratings.To be honest, looking at an ad for the film- which listed all sorts of awards-all for an action movie festival- I was prepared to have to sit through a really dumb "action" film with non-performances, pay check seeking actors and a clichéd plot that was dumbed down. Instead I got real performances, actors ho seemed to care about the film and a clichéd plot that has been gussied up enough that you really do care what happens. I'm shocked. Actually I'm really happy to have found this little film because its the sort of film that I will happily recommend to friends. This is one of the better low budget action films I've seen this year. Worth a look.
