If you want to pass some time watching a pretty good "b" flick about a man fighting an evil bigger than himself in a way only "b" movie heroes can do it, and a bad dude played by Samuel L Jackson in a way only Samuel L Jackson can slam it, with plenty of action, fighting and winner satisfaction, then this is the movie for your free time.Your review does not contain enough lines - the minimum length for reviews is 10 lines of text.Your review does not contain enough lines - the minimum length for reviews is 10 lines of text.Your review does not contain enough lines - the minimum length for reviews is 10 lines of text.Your review does not contain enough lines - the minimum length for reviews is 10 lines of text.

What is wrong with racist whore Sam Jackson that he is in virtually every movie and TV commercial out there?Does he really need the money?Are those dumb beanies he wears expensive?The guy just cares about quantity, not quality.This movie is simply horrible.There is not one frame that is interesting.As usual Jackson walks thru his role with his boring signature line delivery.Aren't we over this excuse for acting already?I wish I could give this bomb a zero.

Godawful piece of crap direct to video flick that was somehow able to afford Samuel L. Jackson. Like a startlingly large amount of movies I watch, this is about an underground fighting tournament. Twilight sixth banana Kellan Lutz stars as a muscle-bound fireman who is kidnapped by hottie Katia Winter and dragged to an underground fighting ring where he's forced to fight to the death with other prisoners. One of them is played by Lost's Daniel Dae Kim. Jackson plays the ringleader. He has two sexy Asian ladies who follow him around everywhere. I know Sam Jackson has a reputation of doing anything for a bit of money - but I just don't see how something this schlocky could have afforded even him. It just boggles the mind that he probably wrapped this movie and walked straight to the set of The Avengers. Movies like this can be fun - look at Manborg, which I reviewed last week. That one probably was made for a quarter as much money, but it was inventive and it damn well knew it was stupid. This one is humorless and actually thinks it has something to say. What a crock.

I always knew this would be some dumb action crab, but hey that is what we want right..? The idea is kind of cool, put a bunch of men into an arena, and force them to fight to their death. Then I realized, that it is based on the idea of the Hunger Games. (The Hunger Games is a book I read some time ago) That is also about a reality show, where there are chosen 1 boy and 1 girl between 12 and 18 to fight in an arena until a single victor remains.The idea of Arena is stolen from the Hunger Games books.If you want to see the real deal, watch The Hunger games. It is more deep, and original. But it is also (unfortunately) a teenage movie, where all the blood is cut out. (takes some of the fun out of it)See Arena if you absolutely must, but really I'd just pass.
