Wonderful Movie

Really Surprised!

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.

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

NEVER SURRENDERThere really is not a lot positive I can say about this movie. It was terrible.The story was bad, the acting was worst and the fighting scenes were comical.It was about a champion MMA fighter who sees a girl in a club that he likes. She introduces him to a bloke who runs an illegal cage fighting tournament. This tournament is dangerous and people can get seriously injured or even die. The movie then becomes a revenge movie as the owner of this company kills one of his friends in a fight and beats up his girlfriend and a few other women.I have not seen acting this bad for a long time. Not one person in the film was convincing as their character. All completely square and boring. Although there is one guy in the film that has a really fake accent... it is funny. He made me laugh a few times in the movie.The fighting scenes were worst than watching professional wrestling. WWE is more realistic. hahaWhat makes me laugh is on the front cover of the DVD, the biggest pictures is of Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson... he is int he movie for about 2 minutes... he has one bad street fight scene and that's him done for the whole movie. I am surprised anyone hired him after this.There is nothing but bad acting, bad fighting and sex through the whole film!I will give this 3 out of 10.The tag line on the poster says:"THE WORLD'S TOP MMA FIGHTERS IN THEIR FIRST FEATURE FILM"...it should say on the end of that... AND THEIR LAST!For more reviews, please like my Facebook page:http://www.facebook.com/pages/Ordinary-Person-Movie- Reviews/456572047728204?ref=tn_tnmn

If I could give this excuse for a film a 0/10 rating, I would. I've seen plenty of bad made-for-TV flicks, and am a fan of the B-movie genre, but this movie is absolutely not self-conscious or tongue-in-cheek; it's simply a piece of crap unaware of how very, very bad it is.I'd try to summarize the plot, but honestly, it was incomprehensible. A bizarre train wreck of muscle-heads, TERRIBLY choreographed scenes, staged "MMA fights" that make pro wrestling look good, chicks with fake tits, weirdly-placed shots of sunsets, McMansions, and expensive cars ensues that is sure to make your stomach gurgle. Also, everyone in this movie inexplicably seems to have the same weird, watered-down South American accent. Curiouser and curiouser...MMA enthusiasts should not be fooled! The presence of UFC greats GSP, Anderson Silva, B.J. Penn, and Heath Herring DOES NOT make Never Surrender more watchable. I actually found the moments when these guys were randomly inserted into the movie to be the most cringe-worthy. Seeing Echavarria "beat up" (Seriously. A line in this film: "I can beat up anyone!") amazing athletes that could crush him in two seconds in real life is too embarrassing to look at. It's pretty sad to see guys who have worked hard for years to make MMA a legitimate sport look like chumps for this amateur film-maker's amusement.The bottom line: this is a masturbatory film project made by a washed-up kickboxer looking to keep his name alive. Echavarria's bad taste just might qualify as a life-threatening illness and if there were such a thing as the Make-A-Wish Foundation for mid-life crises sufferers, Lionsgate granted his wish when it picked up Never Surrender for distribution.

This might contain spoilers The high point of the movie is seeing a lot of MMA stars acting, all of them need to polish their acting skills, the best of them was Gorge st Pierre, but let's face it, these are fighters, not actors, lets think of their participation on the movie as cameos... now the "big" (phun intended) Actor/director/writer/producer of this movie has no excuse , his acting is as the title said, ooh so bad, really really bad, speaks on clichés, and all... physically, he stays in good shape, for a 45 year old desk jockey, not a MMA fighter, he surely can kick my ass with one hand, and can make at least 3 push-ups with one hand... but physically has no muscle definition and a nice beer gut, hardly your average action hero, never the less he can take guys 3 times his size (made of muscle) without breaking a sweet... cmon, the girls... sure there is a lot of T & A but hardy worth to endure the rest of the movie, you are best off renting some softcore

Never Surrender is probably the worlds first ultra soft core porn crossed MMA film. Sadly it wont really please fans of either genres. Whether you like this ego trip film by writer-director-producer-star and probably tea boy Hector Echavarria will depend on whether you own films like Kickboxer, Bloodsport 2-4 and American Ninjas 2-4 because, whether it meant it or not, and I'm guessing not, this badly directed, produced and choreographed actioner is a throw back to the good/bad (depending on who you are) days of DTV action films.For me, well at least it made me laugh (unintentionally) with its soft lighting sex scenes and OTT acting by DTV star Patrick Kilpatrick and brought back memories of me, 12 sitting at home late night watching my brothers action film collection.Oh and a warning to MMA fans… don't be impressed by names like Georges St Pierre or Quentin 'Rampage' Jackson high up in the billing – most are there for a max of two scenes and do very little.Hard to hate but be warned this is as poorly acted, directed and put together a film as your likely to see this year. Set your expectations low and you MIGHT see something you enjoy… MIGHT.Best Bit: Heath Herring does a good job IMDb Rating: 3/10 or 6/10 depending on who you are! If you liked this try: Karate Kid (7/10); Kickboxer (6/10); Never Back Down (5/10) Phil Hobden For more reviews like this check out:http://www.mod-life.net/modlife/index_ugly.htm
