Don't Believe the Hype

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

If you want to watch women beat the hell out of each other this might be your movie. Otherwise this movie had a pretty weak plot, everyone ends up in a body bag one way or another. I guess the morale of the story is don't go to bars and meet strangers. This was like a Hunger Games version of women kidnapped and forced into fighting to the end for their loved ones and their own life. As if a group could effectively be out murdering random strangers who's female family member went missing and no one would see a pattern. Of course some of the women that are housed in cells closer together bond in some way but it is ultimately a fight to the end for only 1 woman to be left standing. The end just makes the entire movie a complete waste. After all the torment you'd think she wouldn't throw her guns away and just run haphazardly down the middle of the road but yep that is what she does. And thus ends your 90 minutes of violence.

This movie is really dark. But really love the dark parts.Really hate the first part, 1/3 in the movie, it is directed so wrong. Did not know who to hate or to love or who is dead!!. The first third spoils the whole movie. Want to express more about it! A great movie that deserves more credit.Zoe Bell saves it though. As always.Would not write this review if unless so frustrated about that a part of this movie was so bad and the rest is good.I usually don't write comments but the directing of of the first 1/3 was bad. And there was a suddenly corridor to run out of in the last scene?

The concept of the film kind of appealed to me... women forced to fight... the film starts off as an abduction film and it just kicks off with a brutal fist fight.... to the death. Raze... this reminds me of a 70's exploitation film, without that 70's look or feel. The fight sequences aren't bad, and the directors do enough to make it interesting enough with the simple plot and premise. This eccentric couple holds a to the death fight of 50 women once a year over 3 days 1 will win. It's a mix of Blood Sport and perhaps Hostel (maybe less grotesque, but there are scenes where girls faces are pummeled to dust).What I didn't like about the film is that this isn't Predators (where the premise is hardcore killers are being hunted), but this is a pure abduction (any woman can get abducted) film, where they are forced to fight and if they lose their families will be murdered (49 will lose so that's also a lot of murdering).Overall it was OK, but after the first 30 minutes it really felt a little too much. The ending also left a bad taste in my mouth.

I bought this movie for a $1.50 because I was bored and figured it was a movie about hot chicks who fight each other but some how there would be a happy ending. First I have to tell you there will be spoilers is this review. I was dead wrong. The overall plot was very interesting. 50 women fight to the death for the wealthy's entertainment. If they lose or refuse to fight, their loved ones are killed. First of all I heard a comment about how it is unrealistic that all the participants were attractive and there were no huge masculine women. In the movie's defense it is about trying to gain viewership and the viewers are more than likely going to want to see attractive women beat the crap out of each other. All the participants seemed to be picked partially for their fighting abilities. The acting was impressive by all cast members, especially the main character and the antagonist who continuously got under her skin. The movie got into the head's of the women. They did a good job of showing how these women desperately attempted to stick to their humanity but when it came to the ring, our natural instinct to survive kicked in. The movie did a good job of not truly villianizing any of the fighters other than the antagonist who for all we know could of snapped because of the environment she was in. The relationships were strong considering the circumstances of the movie but not to over the top. The fight scenes really shocked me. These fight scenes were better than most men fight scenes in movie and were very realistic and graphic. At some points I couldn't watch the screen. I don't like seeing women fight so I attempted to look past it but I thought the fight scenes were amazing. By far the best aspect of the movie. There was no one woman completely destroying another, the fights were for the most part competitive like it would be in real life. The movie felt real and I was really close to giving this movie an 8 but had to resist. The negatives are the lack of background of what was going on, the plot was a little weak, and I hated the ending. I don't need a happy ending, but they set it up where it seemed like it would be.
