Possibly the best of the growing genre of mixed martial arts films, is also a really good action film as well. The plot is simple, Eddie Reyes Junior is sprung by warden John Savage so that he can fight in the Red Canvas tournaments that are held by evil George Takei.Savage senses something more behind Ryes' eyes and wants to give him a chance a redeeming himself.Takei on the other hand just wants to make money and TV ratings.
To be honest, looking at an ad for the film- which listed all sorts of awards-all for an action movie festival- I was prepared to have to sit through a really dumb "action" film with non-performances, pay check seeking actors and a clichéd plot that was dumbed down. Instead I got real performances, actors ho seemed to care about the film and a clichéd plot that has been gussied up enough that you really do care what happens. I'm shocked. Actually I'm really happy to have found this little film because its the sort of film that I will happily recommend to friends. This is one of the better low budget action films I've seen this year. Worth a look.
