NEVER SURRENDERThere really is not a lot positive I can say about this movie. It was terrible.The story was bad, the acting was worst and the fighting scenes were comical.It was about a champion MMA fighter who sees a girl in a club that he likes. She introduces him to a bloke who runs an illegal cage fighting tournament. This tournament is dangerous and people can get seriously injured or even die. The movie then becomes a revenge movie as the owner of this company kills one of his friends in a fight and beats up his girlfriend and a few other women.I have not seen acting this bad for a long time. Not one person in the film was convincing as their character. All completely square and boring. Although there is one guy in the film that has a really fake accent... it is funny. He made me laugh a few times in the movie.The fighting scenes were worst than watching professional wrestling. WWE is more realistic. hahaWhat makes me laugh is on the front cover of the DVD, the biggest pictures is of Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson... he is int he movie for about 2 minutes... he has one bad street fight scene and that's him done for the whole movie. I am surprised anyone hired him after this.There is nothing but bad acting, bad fighting and sex through the whole film!I will give this 3 out of 10.The tag line on the poster says:"THE WORLD'S TOP MMA FIGHTERS IN THEIR FIRST FEATURE FILM"...it should say on the end of that... AND THEIR LAST!For more reviews, please like my Facebook page:http://www.facebook.com/pages/Ordinary-Person-Movie- Reviews/456572047728204?ref=tn_tnmn

I remember when this movie was announced, I couldn't have been more excited. I was in the height of my UFC-loving phase. The trailer featured Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson, Georges St. Pierre, BJ. Penn and Anderson 'The Spider' Silva. I didn't care that this was a straight-to-DVD movie. I wanted to see my favourite UFC stars act. I didn't really get that. What I got for my £14 ($22, €17) was a 90 minute ego stroke for Hector Echavarria (who also co-wrote and directed this movie, no surprises there).This movie follows the journey of the generically named Diego Carter, a world renowned mixed martial arts fighter, played by Hector Echavarria. It presents him as having it all. He was the best pound-for-pound heavyweight fighter in the world, he had any woman he wanted, money and close, loyal friends who were willing to appear out of nowhere just in time to help him fight goons. But what is the one weakness of someone who has everything they ever wanted? A tall blonde woman with broken English and a crooked eye! How does our hero Diego meet this goddess of a woman? Well, he's at a club kissing and groping another hapless woman when across the dance floor he sees the siren known as Sandra. He tells the woman he's currently with that he will be right back, then in plain sight of said woman, marches over to Sandra and begins flirting with her. Classy. Sandra, knowing that Diego is such a huge MMA star, leads him to an underground fighting club known as Blood Lust, a corrupt business ran by hilarious villain and slight jab at Dana White, Seifer. Who not only runs an illegal fight club, also has his hand in a prostitution ring, roping women into working for him with the hope of one day being set 'free' by Seifer. Basically, every fighter who brawls at Blood Lust is allotted a prostitute or 'Escort' as they are known. If you win your fight at Blood Lust, you get to sleep with your opponents Escort. If you lose, you lose 'everything', whatever that means. Obviously, Diego can't just accept one of the dozens of prostitutes, no, he has to want the most beautiful of them all in Sandra, who in turn is Seifer's main squeeze. Seifer begrudgingly agrees to allow Sandra to be Diego's escort and that is the base for the rest of the movie. What comes next is about 60 minutes of fighting, followed by a sex scene, followed by very awkward dialogues, followed by more fighting, rinse and repeat and you'll have this movie in a nutshell. This movie is hilariously bad and I can't help but think that Hector Echavarria, when writing this, just wanted to act out as many of his fantasies as possible. I didn't mention the cameos by the MMA fighters featured on the posters and front cover of the DVD because all in all, Anderson Silva, Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson, BJ Penn, Heath Herring and Georges St. Pierre probably feature for maybe 10 minutes of air time. This is the definition of a shameless cash in on big names and I was suckered in hook, line and sinker. Avoid this movie and if you want to see a movie like this done write, I would highly recommend 'Warrior' starring Tom Hardy.

I had low expectations when I rented this movie. I was not prepared for this piece of trash movie! It was horrible! I'm almost at a loss of words for how bad this movie is. If your going to watch it here's a few things you are sure to be laughing at because the cheese is on thick: 1. The funniest scene has to be when Heath herring is training Diego, Diego is doing pushups using "Perfect pushup" The camera zooms in on the device for like 5 seconds lol I cracked up it is so cheesy.2. Voice over of George St. Pierre. At first you'll be like what the F**k? Then you'll laugh it is so lame. GSP can speak English fine why the hell did they do a voice over? lol 3. UFC fighters acting. I love all the fighters who played roles in this film but they are not actors. I feel bad for them but it is just so cheesy how can you not laugh? 4. The writer/director/star actor/etc Hector glorifies himself shamelessly it is literally laughable. Going into this movie I had no idea he was so involved and I didn't even know the guy. But it is very apparent that he had total control over this film.This movie is that terrible, the worst movie I have ever seen! I cannot believe anyone would give this guy Hector money to make another movie. I cannot tell you how bad this movie is. It's far worse than anything I've ever seen.

I give this flick 1* because GSP is i the film. Other then that it is simply Kick boxer spliced into MMA with loads of soft porn.Through every second of this film my partner and i couldn't figure out why anyone would make this crap?It was so bad we turned it off near to the end.I love UFC and ill say this much, If you have no brain cells and get off on thee most unrealistic fights scenes ever and like your soft porn = Buy and cherish this flick ;)Although if you are a die hard UFC fan then you will obviously have to add this one to your collection.Unwrapped and dusty it'll be though ;)
