Really Surprised!

Awesome Movie

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

Fast paced action film with a woman in lead. Gina Carano plays the wife who never gives up her search for her lost husband in a hostile environment with even the police gunning for her. Never a dull moment. Extremely watchable.

Was chatting with another IMDb member about the top MMA films and while comparing lists, he offered me this pick. I had never heard of it so I tracked it down.(BTW, as I have made clear in my other reviews, I have seen hundreds of MMA films going back to the 1970s when I used to watch Shaw Bros Asian imports in Chinatown with no subtitles. My two all time faves are FORBIDDEN KINGDOM and Tom Hardy's WARRIOR).This is sort a sub-genre in the class, evidencing an attempt to launch Gina Carano (of Haywire fame) as a star on her own. It is a B movie but a well directed and photographed one. (The script, not so great).Carano does hold the attention, she does have star power. What is really interesting is that she is presented in many ways as "the perfect women" in a film that is clearly meant for a male audience. She is pretty, she loves her man, she is good company, and if any dude messes with you or kidnaps you, she can mop the floor with him.There is a scene where the cops try to get her off the island where her husband was abducted by putting her on a boat. She not only escapes from handcuffs but dives off the back of the boat and swims back to the island. Very Johnny Weissmuller. Very 1930s Tarzan.Recommended. Sort of.And if you really want to see the perfect woman, check out Rehab Addict where the diminutive Nicole Curtis is not only perky and fun but can fix anything in the house that goes wrong.

In the Blood was a low budget film and unfortunately it felt very much like one. The camera work and cinematography was horrible, the plot was tired and poorly developed. The characters were uninspired and lacked development outside of the protagonist. The acting was abysmal, especially by the protagonist. Honestly, the only saving grace for the movie was that the fight scenes were done well... at least well enough. Unfortunately that's what happens when you have a female MMA fighter carry a movie. Hopefully one day we get the best of both worlds (either a fighter who can act or an actress who can fight) because until then this is what we're stuck with. If it ever comes on a movie channel, it's not a bad watch. I wouldn't spend a dime on it though.

We like Cam Gigandet when he was in Burlesque. Good looking and charming and HOT.So, when we saw him on the poster for this movie, we decided perhaps let give it a chance, besides we just needed an action movie for the weekend night.The introduction/Opening? Does not make any sense!When in Caribbean, they went to a night club - during the fight, the sound effects were really terrible. UNBELIEVABLE.The scripts are just garbage and the facial expressions are somewhat not correlated to the situations.The cinematography is also between bad and worst.I rate 1 for worst and 1 more because Cam Gigandet was in the movie: TOTAL VOTE: 2.
