This Submission Movie is a Must See! Great actors, great fight scenes, and a great story. You will want to buy this for your library once it comes out on DVD. Grab a bunch of friends when it comes to a theater near you and don't miss it. There is also a great story behind the production of this film. Much blood, sweat, and tears have went in to making this film for us to see. Several years in the making and now it's time for you to enjoy an amazing project that will get you excited to bring others. Check out the cast if you haven't yet and I am sure you will see some popular names that you have enjoyed watching in the past.

I am rarely tempted to review a movie, but in this case I am willing to stick my neck out.Although this movie had me watching until the end, it was with a good deal of frustration. I am a one-time martial artist and a keen fight spectator, and in my opinion, the fight scenes in this movie were not (for the most part) up to snuff. I'm not saying that the fighters were amateurs, it was the choreography that annoyed me. Many of the moves and techniques seemed to be used simply for the looks, and not for authenticity. Without going into specifics (I don't want to give away spoilers) the were a lot of very poor choices of hold/grapple/blow that you simply would not see in real competition. The very experienced Ernie Reyes Sr. dropped the ball on this one.Another bug-bear was the music being that it was way too loud in some places, actually drowning out the dialogue, and inappropriate in other places.Having said all that, I thought the acting was good for the most part, and in particular one scene featuring John Savage and Ki Reyes (Oscar), which had my partner tearing up.In summary, I would not recommend this for anyone who just wants to see an MMA movie, and also not for the hard of hearing:) I'd rather rent 'Redbelt' or 'Never back down'.

As real as it gets... Real Fighters, Exceptional Full Contact choreography by the legendary Ernie Reyes, Sr. A compelling and meaningful storyline carried by wonderful performances. Ernie Reyes Jr. is awesome. UFC Fight considered the fights "Top Notch." Others give the film's story and direction a "Black Belt." Over 1600 martial arts school owners who screened the film in Orlando gave it great reviews. Won 'Best Picture" at the action on Film Festival... Finally, a martial arts movie made by martial artists, for martial artists... People who have seen it as crushed and streamlined download through pirate internet sites don't have a fair representation by which to criticize the picture or sound mix... Watch it legitimately on the big screen, then make your comments... True MMA fans, fighters, and Martial Artists love it, and that makes me proud of the incredible team that put this project together. Great Work!

Because of 8.3 stars I decided to see this movie,although I didn't know the actors and the director. At first it looked like a good low-budget movie,but after half an hour I was disappointed to see that it's just a low-budget movie. The actors are not bad,but not good too - something in the middle. What I also disliked is the music - sometimes I thought it's a fantasy movie like Stardust or so. Directing is also a problem of Red Canvas: the fighting scene in the car repair shop is a joke. Only the scenes on the Red Canvas itself are fair to middling. For fighting movie fans it may be an acceptable pastime,but not for someone like me. Sorry for my English :)
