The cover tricked me into renting this film. The UFC fighters pictured on the front cover are only in the film for a brief period of time. The acting is poor, and plot is poor. However, the film did keep me slightly entertained, despite being a poor film. If you are a fan of mixed martial arts, do not rent the film. I am a moderate fan, but quickly decided that I do not view this film for authenticity of mixed martial arts, instead I viewed it as entertainment. The fights scenes do not resemble fighting or mixed martial arts. It is more like violent dancing. Very unrealistic fights. Overall, the film is bad, and I honestly felt embarrassed that I was watching it at times. A 4/10 is a bit easy, I probably should have voted 3.

Hector Echavarria please for the love of the movie going public never make a movie ever again! You make everyone sound like a Mexican, GSP's voice might be the funniest thing ever! Also, if you watch late night HBO porn, this movie actually has worse actors! BJ Penn and Rampage have a sweet 1 minute cameo, and I actually gave up on the movie before I ever saw Anderon Slyva. This movie consists of round house kicks, sex, huge haymakers, sex, jumping back fists, sex, terrible lead acting, sex and Hector Echavarria attempts to be an MMA god and fails miserbly. So, in closing, Hector Echavarria please attempt another career because movie making is not in your future. I heard Billy Mays job is open, you might have a good shot at that!

The only people who will not vomit their guts out after watching this film will be UFC fans. If it was not for the cameos this heap eh shite would literally sell 0 copies. It's absolutely guaranteed that the only copies sold are solely for the cameos.The film, has no story. It's basically a bunch of ludicrously over-the-top 'characters' mincing around in slo-mo while talking to each other mid-fight.It seems to me that the person who came up with the idea of the film has had no part in it's creation. It looks like it's been made by someone who has never seen an MMA fight and has an obsession with slow motion sex scenes.It's boring, slow, and an hour and a half too long.

I was pleasantly surprised by this film as its something you can enjoy even if you're not that into UFC. Having said that it is ESSENTIAL for fans of UFC with appearances from Rampage, GSP and BJ Penn. Films starring sports figures have generally been hit and miss (Space Jam anybody?) but Never Surrender is definitely a hit. Rampage is particularly convincing and shows signs of what might be a looming crossover into Hollywood (The Rock anybody?)This movie doesn't require many brain cells and that's the joy of it - you won't get lost following the story and it never descends into anything even slightly mundane.Hector Echavarria does a great job as Diego Carter, a world champion who risks his life and his reputation in the illegal underworld or MMA. It's got women, weapons and wheels - so is satisfying on all fronts.The only disappointment is that it ends after 90 mins. I could have watched about 3 hours of it.Its out on DVD in the UK on 22nd June for all British fans of this fine sport... and for girls who want 90 mins of peace and quiet while their boyfriends sit glued to the screen.
