Each fighter is fighting for the top spot, but there’s only room for one at the top…

Review: That’s it, funnily enough this doesn’t feel like a movie, it feels more like a BBC Documentary, although the only way you could explain it to anyone would be; “It’s The Apprentice meets Fight Club”.

The action in the movie should be your main attraction, it’s fast, hard hitting and probably consists of 80% of the movie. I’ve always loved the idea of tournament movies, I loved the Jean Claude Van Damme movie “The Quest”, I’ve always loved it when the WWF/WWE done “King of the Ring” tournaments, so this movie had great appeal to start off with.

As I mentioned at the start of this review, this doesn’t feel like a movie with it’s story being very thin, there’s not room for development. Then they throw in a friendship angle and a relationship angle which doesn’t travel any further than the first time we’re shown it.

Overall, it’s a great start to a new genre, more please!
