Once again a dredaful MMA movie

(1 out of 5 stars)
"I was suckered into thinking that this one might be alright, or even good (likeUnrivaled or Undisputed II - Last Man Standing or Undisputed III: Redemption [Blu-ray], the presence of "real actors" like Danny Tejo and Eric Balfour threw me, but this is another piece of junk that is meant to sucker people, MMA fans in paticular. These movies (Never Surrender, Death Warrior, Circle of Pain) are terrible, poorly acted, badly filmed, horribly written, even fans of the fighters should know that they only have cameos and tend to look bad, as in bad acting, both kinds. They do offer a few interesting fight scenes, but uh nothing like the real thing, loud nu metal music played over fights and montages, kinda fun, and gratitous female nudity, awesome. Otherwise, a total dud, and I'm a huge fan of MMA, as well as "star" Michael Bisping, who isn't bad, in a proper vehicle, he could be something. Don't be suckered.
p.s.
I just found out that the movie's leading actor, Rudy Youngblood, had starred in the wonderfulApocalypto [Blu-ray], and did a fine job, here his acting is just okay, and any star quality he showed in Mel Gibson's film is sorely missing here. This makes me even sadder."
