This movie is interesting; it plays on what’s big amongst teens, so like all movies that do that they usually tend to suck in the end, but they can always get away with one movie. A similar series that comes to mind is the fast and the furious saga, but enough about that. This is a movie about fighting, kind of a new age rocky. Most of the fights are pure MMA style, and the story is actually decent and has a good underlying meaning. I really enjoyed watching this movie, the characters are very easy to take a liking to and see where they are coming from. Some of the fighting looks and feels fake, but most of the fights look like real sparring matches between real fighters, and also show some of the consequences of fighting.
I would totally recommend this movie as an anytime movie, and it is definitely worth checking out if you enjoy the sport of mixed martial arts. My only complaint was the ending as it seems to end abruptly and with out answering some questions, but this very well could be to leave it open for possibly a sequel or two. Hopefully they will have better actors than the aforementioned series.
