Pretty Good
The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
Anyone on here with a bad review has not seen Art of Submission! They had only seen the Red Canvas film that was pirated beforehand. The Art of Submission movie was well played by all actors. The fight scenes were well played by all fighters. Ernie Rays Jr. did an outstanding fight performance as well as the MMA fighters. The music was off the charts! I am looking forward to a sound track to follow. I can imagine hearing this sound track being played at many fights, wrestling matches, foot ball games etc! The music get's you pumped!The story line was real. It hit home. A great family movie. Had some great helicopter shots of Vegas!
This film touched all aspects of great entertainment. Action, comedy and love. It pulled on my heart strings, made me laugh out loud and had me intrigued through the whole film. It engages both those interested in martial arts and those didn't know they were. You'll be on the edge of your seat as this story unfolds. There are great actors who deliver to their potential ad well as unknown names who set new standards. There is a hot level of excitement that reaches all crowds, from Vegas nights to fantastic eye candy. There was not one full moment in this film keeping the whole audience engaged. You will not be disappointed. Never has there been a film in martial arts that has actors with such martial art experience. A fight scene is not just a movie, it's true action.
Art of Submission is not only a great movie for UFC fans but contains many family relationships which the whole family can enjoy and relate too. The relationship between Johnny and his father unfolds, develops and grows through out the movie until the final scenes. An excellent performance by Mario Alonso (Johnny's mother). With the back drop of Las Vegas, under the superb directing of Ken Chamitoff and Adam Boster actors Ernie Reyes Junior, Sarah Downing, Ving Rhames and John Savage come together to make a heart warming story come to life. The struggle between failure and redemption through the venue of UFC is truly inspiring for parents and children of all ages. The excellent choreography of legendary martial arts Ernie Reyes makes for exciting fight scenes. A great film for the whole family. Thoroughly recommend.
This movie is a must for anyone interested in mixed martial arts. The fight scenes between Ernie Reyes Jr. and his opponents are awesome... carefully choreographed, precisely delivered and authentic. I wanted to see more. The older audience will recognize the legendary Dan Severn and Frank Shamrock from their involvement in the mix martial arts industry. The movie has the power to inspire the youth of today to achieve their dreams and true potential when a challenge is brought forth. Both men and women will enjoy this movie. It has all the action men need while incorporating heart felt drama of a family struggling with a rebellious son. The movie ends with an emotional bonding between father and son.
