Decent movie with a good motivational vibe and nice fight scene. Perfect for if you want to feel super pumped

A descent fighting movie could have been alot better

It was a good movie bit boring and cheesy but still alright I say watch the second and third because I think they are better

Good movie, i don't remember it, but i remember that it was interesting

Good action . Mostly watched it coz of Amber Heard and senseless fight scenes

Much better than most of its ratings, this is one of the first MMA related sports movies with a decent storyline

This movie is a guilty pleasure. It’s bad, but every time I watch it I get hyped and start to do pseudo MMA.

It’s like fight club but not enjoyable.

Its not that good maybe but its a typical movie that i would watch just after coming back from school or work.

The film succeeds in capturing youthful energy and passion for sport; it’s motivating to watch.
