Wonderfully offbeat film!

Really Surprised!

It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Its the best worst movie ever! The MMA version of the Disaster Artist. It was an honor getting beat up by Hector in the opening scene so you can say I m a biased opinion. Enjoy and laugh and notice how many sex scenes the director Hector cast himself in, brilliant!

This movie makes me want to cherish movies like Kickboxer and Never Back Down, which are at least 1000 times better than this movie was ever hoping to be.The fights were unrealistic and robot-like, the acting was TERRIBLE and there were simply WAY too many sex scenes to not be called a porno. I truly believe the star/writer/producer/director of this was simply on a power trip and wanted to get with as many girls as possible as well as beat people up with stupidly unrealistic moves.I am a huge MMA fan and the only reason I watched this was for the cameos of the UFC fighters. Sadly, the script was so amazingly terrible that it just lowered my view on the personality of some of my favourite fighters. I kind of want to beat the fight choreographer for this movie up. Plus the fighters were only in the movie for a total of about 3 to 4 minutes other than Heath Herring.Hector Echavarria should not be allowed to make movies. I could have easily written and directed a much, much, much better movie, even with the same old cliché'd storyline. Hell, a 4 year old could have probably done a better job. This 'movie' gives MMA and its fighters a bad name.The only reason I watched this movie to the end was because I could not believe that it was as bad as it was and I thought the finale would have better fights with more of the UFC fighters, sadly all it was was BJ Penn going half speed on some guy and not showing ANY of his skills and talent.This kind inspires me to go out and show Hector how to really make a movie, because I KNOW I can do a better job than that! Although sadly, I'm still 18 and in university so all you guys are gonna have to wait till a company takes me seriously, lol :)

Hector Echavarria please for the love of the movie going public never make a movie ever again! You make everyone sound like a Mexican, GSP's voice might be the funniest thing ever! Also, if you watch late night HBO porn, this movie actually has worse actors! BJ Penn and Rampage have a sweet 1 minute cameo, and I actually gave up on the movie before I ever saw Anderon Slyva. This movie consists of round house kicks, sex, huge haymakers, sex, jumping back fists, sex, terrible lead acting, sex and Hector Echavarria attempts to be an MMA god and fails miserbly. So, in closing, Hector Echavarria please attempt another career because movie making is not in your future. I heard Billy Mays job is open, you might have a good shot at that!

I don't think I gave away any spoilers, but I checked the box just to be safe...I, like most that might be thinking of watching this film, was sucked into it because I'm a huge MMA fan and I couldn't pass up the chance to see some of my favorite fighters in a movie. Rampage and Anderson Silva are my personal favs, not to mention GSP and Penn. So I ignored the bad reviews and low scores and sat down to watch what I thought would be a fun little action movie. I mean, I love a good bad movie. (Manos anyone?) Heres what I got instead: The main actor (the "Hero" if you will) looks about 20 years too old to be fighting anyone and that alone takes away from the realism right away. Then, the lead actress is probably the worst looking girl in a movie full of butter-faces. and then you've got the fact that it seems as if they didn't have any microphones during filming because EVERY LINE is dubbed in. They even had someone else dub in GSP's lines for him! (c'mon, his accent isn't THAT bad). There's 3 or 4 cringe worthy Skinamax-style sex scenes that serve no plot purpose. There's hardly any plot to speak of really. There's nothing remotely likable about any of the characters. The soundtrack is b-movie emo-pop-punk bile and every song sounds the same as the last one. Worst of all, the MAIN PURPOSE of the film, the fight scenes, are horrible. They start off with some "ROUND ONE! FIGHT!"-style intro, and then its 4 minutes of extreme closeups, shaky cameras and unrealistic MMA. They look more like outtakes from Street Fighter or Kickboxer than they do MMA fights. and as a cherry on top, the fighter cameos are a joke. I don't know how they talked them into being in the film (because by the looks of it, this movie was made for 14 bucks), but blink and you'll miss Rampage, Penn and Silva have 2 quick fights and GSP has probably the best fight in the film. But remember, thats only relative to the suck-fest that is this movie.I was able to watch the whole thing, but it took me 4 sessions. And I only forced myself so I could get on, write this review and hopefully save someone else 90 minutes. But I know if you're looking into this movie and reading reviews, you've probably made up your mind to watch it no matter what, as I had.or...just this once, you could take a strangers advice and stay away. it really isn't worth it, its not the kind of bad thats fun. its the kind of bad thats just painful. go watch Never Back Down instead. because as dumb and unrealistic as that movie was, at least the fight scenes were somewhat fun to watch and it felt like a movie. Never Surrender feels more like a 90 minute practical joke on the viewer.
