Sadly Over-hyped

Masterful Cinema

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

Based on American underground no-rules fighting tournaments held over a decade ago.This typical action movie has the cheezy mob boss after the "good guy" plot,but for a B-movie it does have some of the most respected martial artists and champions in the world! If you are a fan of B-movie American martial art flicks...you might like this movie. It has;KickBoxers,Boxers,Jiu Jitsu fighters,Karate and Kung Fu practitioners competing against one another!I give it a 5 out of 10 for a low budget film!p.s. look for former world welter weight muay thai kickboxing champion,Dave "Snake" Blocker as one of the competitors!!!!! blockeracademy.com

This movie was Okay on it's own, but brilliant thanks to the star, Benjamin Kobby. He has an amazing screen presence, fabulous voice, and hot to trot body! What a sex symbol! And his fighting.... fantastic. I hope to find more of his movies, he's definitely going to be the next action hero of Hollywood.
