Scorpion is one of those movies which you will watch for the sake of watching. I mean french action movies are rarley boring, and Scorpion ain't no different. Okay it sets the mood nicely however the acting may not be the greatest but it certainly is entertaining. Check it out if your a fan of mixed martial arts movies , however don't expect anything big or like the best mixed martial arts movie. The acting is cheesy , the script is crap but the story told is a good one and thats what keeps you watching , its like one of tough guy movies you just watch for the sake of watching.SCORPION 6.7 OUT OF 10

This film is brilliant. The acting is good and i believe that the story line although simple it does the job. The fighting in it will please martial artists because people who have trained in thai boxing, mixed martial arts or a form of ground fighting such as Brazilian ju jitsu will recognise some of the moves.The moves that are real techniques will please martial artists who are sick of karate kid style martial arts techniques in movies.The plot uses emotions that many of us have felt at one time or another.All in all a brilliant film with good acting, simple but effective plot and good fights

My brother came home with this, because he knows what a big MMA fan i am, and the back of the cover says "Scorpion is the definitive mixed martial arts movie".First off, the cover mentions nothing of the movie being french with subs, but anyway ...I was hoping this was going to be a good movie, to strengthen the argument for MMA, helping it get even more exposure, how stupid was I ? The writers/directors were doing exactly the same as the gang leader/fight manager/whoever he was. They made this movie, hoping that the popularity MMA has at the moment, would make them rich.Eye gouging, fish hooking, stomps to a downed opponent, the only part of this movie I would call MMA were the gloves !

Scorpion is certainly not a fighting movie, the combat scenes are not very impressive.But the story is good (not great, but good!). It reminds me Danny the Dog (from Luc Besson with Jet Li). First of all, it's the story of a man who seems a bit strange because of his past. And he is getting better, appreciating life again...The music is giving the right atmosphere. The director makes a good job, this is not boring (as often in french movie, and I can say that because I am french!).So we spend a good time, you can watch it!
