hyped garbage

Fresh and Exciting

Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.

It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

"I might be wrong, but I'm guessing you know something that I don't." A struggling fight promoter Ray 'Harley' Davidson (Fargas) is running out of money and respect in town. When he meets Charles Buchinsky (Alexander) he thinks he found his way back to the top. If you absolutely love UFC and street fighting you will like this. If you love watching street fighting you will like this. If you enjoy watching movies like that but aren't totally psyched about them then this may be a struggle to get through. I have seen worse, but I'm pretty sure the budget was around 100 bucks. The fighting was pretty fake, the acting was not good, but again, if you like movies like this that doesn't matter. This movie was made a few years ago, and like "Bending All The Rules" is only now coming out because an actor who is in it for five minutes (Tom Hardy in this one) is hot right now. Overall, a movie for people that love this kind of thing. If, like me, you think a few are OK then I would look for something else. I give it a C-.Would I watch again? - No, I almost didn't make it through once.*Also try - Fighting & Locked Down

Bad! Think this DVD will be going back as faulty and claiming my money back on it ASAP! Visually the grading's terrible, plus the sound's everywhere as is the acting, some of that is just dire! Music well? Feels like a 2nd year student production with nothing of Layer Cake or Snatch. Just wooden! Fails on so many levels which aren't even worth developing on here.Are they trying to rip off some great British gangster films like The Long Good Friday and newer films? Don't know? But where it fails is to build up any tension, that's the one thing in this genre and with a lack of character development, well? Plus being poorly graded, bad sound etc etc... Some good actors there but they clearly struggled as did others.

I watched this movie because it had Tom Hardy in it. Unfortunately, it didn't have Tom Hardy in it. At least not in any scenes I saw. It looks and feels like it was made by a 16 year old with a $200 camera and more favors to call in than sense or film-making abilities. I get the feeling that this movie has such a high star count because it's the filmmakers friends rating the film. The fight scenes are poorly choreographed and the acting is pretty mediocre. But that says nothing for the lighting, camera work, direction, editing or script, all of which are in a league of their own in stinkiness. What was Tom Hardy thinking? These guys didn't even bother to white balance the camera. The lighting doesn't match color temperatures within the same scenes throughout the film. There are cutaways and inserts that look like they aren't even part of the same scene. Then, instead of lighting the actors when they are in front of windows, but inside, they allow the windows to blow out and the actors to be underlit. Then, the camera is constantly crossing the lines, and with near to no establishing shots, you have almost no idea where the characters are, in relation to one another. Finally, the lead actor is terrible as the silent and mysterious tough guy. Steven Segal on his worst day could have played this character less transparent and with more depth.

this film isn't even worth the time or enormous effort in watching, just by watching the trailer you will understand the reasoning to which i am giving this film a one out of ten. And believably enough that it is enough to bore you to tears to the point where you would rather die than continue to watch the next thirty seconds of highlights, the acting is worse than mediocre and is as if the people were told the lines and mechanically told to re site them, i can not act to save my life however i could of done a better job myself and stopped people from wanting to commit suicide, not very entertaining at all with the people speaking as if pretending it was real, no story line, unrealistic fight scenes with bad prosthetic blood. incredibly bad use of Geordie language which is embarrassing to the Geordie accent. this review is just from clips and the trailer to which i saw no reason to torture myself any longer and put myself through the whole film. quite frankly it is the biggest flop of a film i could have ever imagined and such a shame considering the cause the money is going to .
