I gave this film a 9 out of 10, because it was exactly what I expected it to be.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

The movie is pointless, and I'm not very clear, who and why wanted to shoot this thing anyway. It looks like, somebody decided, Mimi Lesseous is good actress, and decided to do a movie about it. Well, it didn't work out. The only interesting (in a way) thing in this movie is method of female villain, Mimi opposing. She flips already knock outed guys (girls in this case)takes their arms and legs and crashes their spine. Sadistic method, must I say. I'm not sure you'll going to watch movie just for that, so you can skip to fighting (which is not taking too much of time) and forget the rest. Good luck next time, if there will be any.

Mimi Lesseos plays a wrestler (now that's an acting stretch!) who enters an illegal kickboxing tournament to get revenge on the man who organizes it - the man who is also responsible for the killing of her brother and the wounding of her boyfriend. Conceived perhaps as a female version of Van Damme's "Kickboxer", "Pushed to the Limit" fails to deliver. The dramatic parts are insufferably slow and stilted, and although Mimi is a talented fighter, particularly when she applies wrestling / grappling moves, her talents are often obscured by the editing or by the simple fact that the camera focuses on other things instead of the fighting. For a movie centered around a fighting tournament, there is a surprising lack of long, continuous fight scenes here. If you feel like you need to see every Mimi Lesseos film then go ahead, but if you just want to see one, try "Beyond Fear" instead. (*1/2)
