This movie is very good and has a good point. Jason field has to be the best actor out there. Whoever wrote this other review in 2011 has issues. First of all he says he does not even like MMA so of course he will not like this. Second of all this was in 2006 what is this dude expecting. I love this movie keep it up.
First of all, I feel I should admit that I am not a fan of the sport of Mixed Martial Arts. When I come across such a bout on TV, I am quickly bored by seconds going by without a fight move being executed, and the participants always getting into a struggle on a ground. But even if I did like the sport, I am pretty sure I would still have as negative a reaction to it as I did when watching it today. The movie looks terrible - it was obviously shot on digital video, which means the image seldom looks sharp and colorful, and with lighting in the background being so bright it obscures what's in the background. And while the movie spent a few bucks to partially film in Brazil, the Brazilian locations are hardly used - you have to wonder why they bothered to travel there. The acting, while not the worst I've seen in a direct-to-DVD quickie, is still pretty bad. And the script has a number of plot holes and illogical moves by the characters that makes it seem like a first draft. Oh, and the fights? They are just as boring as the fights I've seen on TV. Maybe they did get something accurate after all.
