Sick Product of a Sick System

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Anyone on here with a bad review has not seen Art of Submission! They had only seen the Red Canvas film that was pirated beforehand. The Art of Submission movie was well played by all actors. The fight scenes were well played by all fighters. Ernie Rays Jr. did an outstanding fight performance as well as the MMA fighters. The music was off the charts! I am looking forward to a sound track to follow. I can imagine hearing this sound track being played at many fights, wrestling matches, foot ball games etc! The music get's you pumped!The story line was real. It hit home. A great family movie. Had some great helicopter shots of Vegas!

This Submission Movie is a Must See! Great actors, great fight scenes, and a great story. You will want to buy this for your library once it comes out on DVD. Grab a bunch of friends when it comes to a theater near you and don't miss it. There is also a great story behind the production of this film. Much blood, sweat, and tears have went in to making this film for us to see. Several years in the making and now it's time for you to enjoy an amazing project that will get you excited to bring others. Check out the cast if you haven't yet and I am sure you will see some popular names that you have enjoyed watching in the past.

Submission, err, Red Canvas or Art of Submission released in 2009, or 2012, or, oh, forget it, all the same movie. This is a MMA action/drama movie centering around the plight of a young adult who wants to train to be a mixed martial arts star. Of course, he is in troubled times and the movie attempts to juggle the action with the drama but falls short on it. The tempo switching in this movie is often too random to hold the audiences attention, while debating if this is a tear-jerker, or just a beat 'em up flick. The fighting sequences at times are very well done, and other times, just plain silly. Ernie Reyes Jr. does a decent job acting as the main character, often being forced to shift gears from a apprehensive heavy to a sentimental person of the film quite quickly. Ving Rhames (big fan of) plodded through this movie, seemingly unconvinced of why he was there. I may have been a bit more sold on this movie had it not been the length of it. By the films finale, I just felt more or less like "get it over already" so I will. 3.9/10

Because of 8.3 stars I decided to see this movie,although I didn't know the actors and the director. At first it looked like a good low-budget movie,but after half an hour I was disappointed to see that it's just a low-budget movie. The actors are not bad,but not good too - something in the middle. What I also disliked is the music - sometimes I thought it's a fantasy movie like Stardust or so. Directing is also a problem of Red Canvas: the fighting scene in the car repair shop is a joke. Only the scenes on the Red Canvas itself are fair to middling. For fighting movie fans it may be an acceptable pastime,but not for someone like me. Sorry for my English :)
