@watchryder. Wow so you you disagree with the fact you don't need an idea explained to you 10 times and by you own admission STILL have to use your imagination to get it?
I'm the one arguing that the movie has no depth due to the fact it over explains it's points. and I have no imagination??..btw it takes understanding not imagination. And there is no room for insight when it's overly exposed.
Ok
NOW I see why people like you need movies like this. Gain some common sense and read instead of
@abec5. Dude this movie rocks...yup it's great, good movie. ..best movie. This movie good...nice movie..movie interesting. Come on dude...marbles!! Oh and it's a good movie
@WatchRyder umm..yeah.they dont give you much of a chance to read into it.they pretty much spell it out for you. the movie doesn't have to beat people over the head with the idea. you can add emphasis just with the angle of the shot or the music etc.. we get it
you have to admit if you watch it again (which i highly recommend you don't) the dialog is labored and excruciating to your brain. it was just bad writing.
they experimented and failed. there is a reason other films don't follow suit.
u guys are fags never back down is a great movie undisputed 2 and 3 are the best i have ever seen and i will watch this how i see it sounds great but this is not trailer how insult never back down becaus that movie was great so u can just kiss mine ass
@valentinopivac judging by the way you wrote your comment you're obviously not very intelligent so it's understandable why you would think those were great movies.
Um, am I the only one who sees this movie as a jab at Royce Gracie? I think Ricardo in the movie is supposed to be Royce Gracie, with the "Old Man" being Helio Gracie.
Ive looked around, and I don't see anyone even talking about this movie's possible parody of the first couple of UFC bouts.
Obviously I don't think the UFC is rigged, it isn't- but I think the writer of this movie does. Its very odd.
@moniker127 I thought about it as well. Then again, UFC in the beginning did fall in favor for Royce and the other Gracies. You have to re-watch those old fights.
I've watched a fair bit recently, I don't think they were rigged, I just think that he fought a bunch of guys that didn't really know their stuff when it came to ground work. I don't think most martial artists back then were even aware of the fact that fights go to the ground quite often. Ken Shamrock was the only one with knowledge of even GRAPPLING (wrestling) it was an entirely new way of fighting to the rest of them.
man i gotta tell yall, this movie has a strong messange, i just watched it and i regret that i watched it now and not 2 years ago... you know, every thing isn´t about money, i think that this movie showed just how things are, people destroy every thing for the pleasure of money, and i ain't saying just in the martial arts, but every thing, the govern that should be helping people and listening too us but they aren´t, the world is fuckin fucked, money doesn't always come first... Keep it real
The movie starts off ok, but then it gets to a point where the scenes are not flowing, just jumping from one situation to another. The cop blowing his brains out, the wife betraying the main guy, the lawyer with issues, Tim Allen?...Mammet tries too hard to put everything into context, and the last fight scenes are just ok, nothing especial really...but it's definitely better than Never back down.

i heard mixed reviews. from people that don't train i heard it was really good, but from people that train bjj/mma i heard mixed reviews too. guess ill have to see for mself
I'm training kyokushin karate for 11 years now. And in the very end of the movie, when sensei passed him the red belt I started crying. I'm 18 y o. Idk, maybe it triggered the apprentice mode in me. Idk... but this movie... is the movie that all fighters should see.
I loved this movie to death, but some of the poeple ive talked to say its lame. I think its because it teaches you about morals, and the true meaning of kung fu rather than a bunch of people beating the crap out of each other. LOL THIS MOVIE RULES.
1st of all I cannot spell! 2nd this movie is sending the wrong message. Comp is not a waste of time. Being the kyokushin artist youse are youse should know comp is a great way to test your skill.
The Obi (belt) has several purposes. It denotes rank and ability, the Sensei can look around the dojo and tell who can do what. It's a quick means of doing so. It's for safety and respect. Secondly it holds your gi together, and secures your bokken or katana. Thirdly it's traditional attire. the martialartists of old used to start off wearing a white novice Obi (Belt) and the older and more worn it got the darker it became through aging.
the worst shite ever put on a screen.Makes a laughing stock out of bjj,the fight choreogaphy was even crap which could possibly have been its redeeming feature.
Why are people bitching about the acting? there is nothing wrong with the acting, cast, or anything else! It's a great movie, not a block buster but a much have!
Should be called 'skilled brawling'...cos thats what it is!
Fighting for profit defeats the whole aim of what martial arts are about. Too much ego is involved.
How can u have a mixed martial art.
Many professions but master of none! To create a masterpiece painting u do not combine oils, watercolours, acryllics and chalk.....it will be a mess.....like what MMA is!!
Ther is a sport aspect to martial arts....just like anything else....and I wold bet my last dollar that a skilled Mixed Martial Artist with decent grappling and decent standup would kill a "Master" of Kung fu or any other type of Karate.
There's a big difference in Japanese JuJitsu and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Japanese Jujitsu focuses more on Katas and other things......in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu......we'd rather use that time learning how to fight. I was rolling once with some Japanese Jujitsu guys and they couldn't believe when I took my blue belt off and it hit the floor. I said "Guys.....all it does is hold my gi together.......nothing magical about it."
@VictimBooking Also...my style of Jujitsu has no katas apart from the nage no kata. and the dangerous parts to the body.
we have etiquette and use traditional names and greet each other by reing (bowing).
The emphasis on training is train hard but look after people as well. We do a fair amount of stand up randori and groundwork. I do it not to learn to beat people up or out do someone in a competition for a cash prize, because then it become something ugly and not an art.
Competition makes people stronger competition isn't an ugly thing...and it lets you know if your as good as you think you are.....I've had put my skills to the test several times in full contact fighting...so I know how good I am......how many black belts in tae Kwon Doe can say that....most of them would get killed in a real fight because they think they are a lot better than they really are due to "Point Sparring" (I also have a black belt in Shorin Ryu so I know the drill).
@VictimBooking martial arts competition is cool, we do randori and groundfighting , what i meant was UFC and all that stuff is ugly. I don't like watching it because i rarely see anything i haven't seen down town on a fri night.
Competition makes people stronger...also you can never test your skills if you've nver been in a real fight...I know how good I am because I have used my skills in several situations where someone is trying to hurt me.....self defense ot competition...how many black belts in tae Kwon Do can say that...remember...they lose points for "over aggression" in tournaments.....
dam i wanted to like this movie it had a great story line but dam it was just plagued by bad acting bad directing and even bad editing. Such a shame cause there were some real good actors in this film.
it is an awesome movie, but does Chiwetel Ejiofor practice ju-jitsu, because he's used it before in serenity, well, a grappling, lock based martial art?
story of Mike Terry (Chiwetel Ejiofor), a Jiu-jitsu teacher who has avoided the prize fighting circuit, choosing instead to pursue an honorable life... watch this film here
Here you go, folks. A real boxing movie (Xander Cohen) with a real boxer (former pro) doing real boxing (nothing choreographed) in a real boxing gym (world famous Wild Card Boxing Gym). Make sure and put "h t t p : / / w w w . y o u t u b e . c o m" at the beginning of each link (with no spaces, of course). Check it out!
while the movie is not saying any particular tournament is fixed, with anything in which there are large sums involved, one should consider the possibility. I really enjoyed the movie and thought it was inspirational. Ending was a bit bland, but gave you hope.
they say fighting in a tournament is not fighting because there are rules. in a real fight you do what you have to to walk away. they dont say mma is fake or setup. just the tournament in the movie is
The director David Mamet practices BJJ and wanted to make a movie involving BJJ. He's not saying MMA is fake or set-up he's just likes to make a world unto itself, this film is influenced heavily by Noir which usually invovles a conspiracy of some kind as well as western and samurai genres.
o well thanks my english 12 teacher was saying it was fake and i was arguing with him and he said to watch this and i haven't gotten to yet but thanks for explaining it .
And you are nothing but a stupid whore and being proud as one. Martial arts is one of the best and most respected and honored sport in the world but you are too stupid to realize that. The people of America, Japan, Canada, Australia, China, France, Germany, Italy, Finland, Sweden, Norway, Russia, Spain and many more honors and respects the sports and the way of martial arts or they wouldn't allow martial arts in their country, but you are an complete idiot to notice that too.
@k1llwood bullshit movie it was racist the Gracie family was the bad guys WTF your an asshole a black dude come on.Roger Herta life story is more exciting than this bullshit its too racist for me.
@k1llwood i would almost have to disagree lol well eetdont no yet i am about to watch this move,(redbelt) but i thought n,b,d. wat real good maybe its cuz im more of a stfighter so but still wat ur sayin is true HONOR RESPECT
i know its about bjj this movie is corny as hell your a DOUCHEBAG! the hella try to do the mma at the end man this movie is so FAKE! its fuckin GAY. hella corny. idont give a fuck JUST WATCH CHOKE THE RICKSON GRACIE doc.OR RENZO GRACIE legacy etc. this was i give it a 6 or 5 . dont get me started on movie lik fightin or never back down. . lol CORNY as shit
focus less on what fighting is in the movie, and more on the story line and acting. its a few steps from brilliant i know, but its still a great movie to watch. easily watchable twice. its way less corny than never back down or fighting, theres alot more deeper meaning and more adult appeal in this movie. its actually serious.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
i HATE fake mma movies this is GAY. i hate fuckin posers.this movie is so CORNY! and yes it is a disgrace so are you who ever said that comment to me. even royce gracie LAUGHED AT THIS movie lol this movie had its moments but corny as shit ,wut did this motivate you? i bet you watch karate kid and think thats koo. lol ppl like you make me laugh.all your good at is postin comment on utube.
you wanna watch real movies watch renzo legacy, choke:rickson gracie docu..ETC REAL MOVIE
I'll watch it. I'm wasting time reading comments about it, can't hurt to possibly waste a little more. To support Couture, I'll watch it. I don't think MMA will be affected one way or another because of a movie.I think Brock being a jerk to the guy he just beat is way more harmful than a movie that dosn't portray MMA perfectly. I am sure I'll enjoy this way more than most movies being made right now. Never back down was very High Schooly, and cheesy, but I didn't feel like it was a waste.
Randy Cotour, Tim Allen. How can this movie explain jiujitsu in those terms; handicap fighter, honest police officer(c'mon), old school Brasilian fighter involved in the movie, etc. The movie has NO point, it doesn't explain or represent the style at all. What a waist of money, I'm so desapointed, not because of the characters, but because of the stupid drama. It doesn't represent the sport at all. It's misrepresented totally. My hope is that UFC, and WECstill make it after these stupid movie.
Chatan, you don't need to "know about fighting" to understand this movie. Tim Allen isn't in this film because he takes karate in real life. For those that seem to think this is a documentary on MMA or don't get why actors are in this film, you should watch it again ... or for the first time, from what is sounds like. Or not post if you're eight.
i think he takes karate but most likely he got the role because he's a recognizable actor, playing an actor, i mean he's not seen in it much and he doesnt do anything
There are so many other films that deserve a "this movie sucked so bad" review. This is a good movie about honor vs. greed. If you're into MMA, that is merely the background of this film. We need more people to hush about whether the fights were realistic or not or how many belts they possess in reality. That has zip to do with the narrative. Focus, people. Focus.
Couldnt agree with you more. There's more to a story than fight scenes. this was a tale about trying to live by a code of honor when everyone else is trying make money. Not some mindless flick like "Never back down"
You know you are young and dumb becasuse how is this going to be a disgrace to jiu jitsu? John Machado is Renzo's cousin and Robson is his uncle. John started bbj a few years after Renzo you idiot.
and what do u no mr.solorobo ya sounds like a real fighting name, whats the point of making fun of my name cuz it has nothing to do with fighting neither dose urs grow up dude for real!
dude shut up neither of you know about fighting your just wasting time till your next gerkin jerkin but your also waisting our time so shut the fuck up
Tell you guys the truth I didnt like the movie. Not because of the action but because of the story it kinda seemed unrealistic the way the characters acted and the story line where nothing to ME made sense
I respect that. Mamet's dialogue takes a breed to like it and some just dont. If you havent seen his other work and didn't like it, you probably wont like this.
To all you haters. Fuck You! This is a real movie. There are no famous bands, effects, and stupid ass heart throbs in it. There in lies its goodness alone. All you brain washed fools just understand glamer and bling and know shit about film. So sit back shut the fuck up and learn a thing or two.
ANOTHERCOILGUN, big up to you. Well said. This is a real movie. No Hollywood, no hearthrobs, a raw to the heart movie. Saw this twice. The minds have to grow up to understand the movie, for real.
Yes !, lets bring back Benny the Jet and Don the Dragon Wilson !, the films were fairly crap, but the fighters were real !!, it is nice to have some Hollywood Van damme bullshit tho isnt it !
Thumbs if you are watching this in 2012

while the movie is not saying any particular tournament is fixed, with anything in which there are large sums involved, one should consider the possibility. I really enjoyed the movie and thought it was inspirational. Ending was a bit bland, but gave you hope.

they say fighting in a tournament is not fighting because there are rules. in a real fight you do what you have to to walk away. they dont say mma is fake or setup. just the tournament in the movie is

is this movie saying mma is fake or set up?
matt37075 2 years ago
The director David Mamet practices BJJ and wanted to make a movie involving BJJ. He's not saying MMA is fake or set-up he's just likes to make a world unto itself, this film is influenced heavily by Noir which usually invovles a conspiracy of some kind as well as western and samurai genres.

And you are nothing but a stupid whore and being proud as one. Martial arts is one of the best and most respected and honored sport in the world but you are too stupid to realize that. The people of America, Japan, Canada, Australia, China, France, Germany, Italy, Finland, Sweden, Norway, Russia, Spain and many more honors and respects the sports and the way of martial arts or they wouldn't allow martial arts in their country, but you are an complete idiot to notice that too.

focus less on what fighting is in the movie, and more on the story line and acting. its a few steps from brilliant i know, but its still a great movie to watch. easily watchable twice. its way less corny than never back down or fighting, theres alot more deeper meaning and more adult appeal in this movie. its actually serious.

you wanna watch real movies watch renzo legacy, choke:rickson gracie docu..ETC REAL MOVIE
JasonBJJ1990 2 years ago
You're aware that the Gracie's trained Ejiofor for this film, right?
And the point of this movie, if u had seen it, is not the actual fighting in the ring, its about the lives of the ppl involved.
And this isn't about MMA either, it's about Jui-Jitsu.
Watch the movie, then pass judgement.
And if u had seen it already, then pay attention and make sure you know wat you're talking about.

I'll watch it. I'm wasting time reading comments about it, can't hurt to possibly waste a little more. To support Couture, I'll watch it. I don't think MMA will be affected one way or another because of a movie.I think Brock being a jerk to the guy he just beat is way more harmful than a movie that dosn't portray MMA perfectly. I am sure I'll enjoy this way more than most movies being made right now. Never back down was very High Schooly, and cheesy, but I didn't feel like it was a waste.

Randy Cotour, Tim Allen. How can this movie explain jiujitsu in those terms; handicap fighter, honest police officer(c'mon), old school Brasilian fighter involved in the movie, etc. The movie has NO point, it doesn't explain or represent the style at all. What a waist of money, I'm so desapointed, not because of the characters, but because of the stupid drama. It doesn't represent the sport at all. It's misrepresented totally. My hope is that UFC, and WECstill make it after these stupid movie.
MARIOHENRI1 2 years ago
Chatan, you don't need to "know about fighting" to understand this movie. Tim Allen isn't in this film because he takes karate in real life. For those that seem to think this is a documentary on MMA or don't get why actors are in this film, you should watch it again ... or for the first time, from what is sounds like. Or not post if you're eight.

There are so many other films that deserve a "this movie sucked so bad" review. This is a good movie about honor vs. greed. If you're into MMA, that is merely the background of this film. We need more people to hush about whether the fights were realistic or not or how many belts they possess in reality. That has zip to do with the narrative. Focus, people. Focus.
mistermattyc 2 years ago
Couldnt agree with you more. There's more to a story than fight scenes. this was a tale about trying to live by a code of honor when everyone else is trying make money. Not some mindless flick like "Never back down"
