Product Description
How do you make a fortune from the bloodlust of millions? One sadistically savvy businessman (Samuel L. Jackson) has created an empire with his brutal, fight-to-the-death gladiator website. His newest warrior is David Lord (Kellan Lutz), a kidnapped fireman, now imprisoned and forced to fight for his life. To buy his freedom, Lord agrees to do a series of lethal bouts. But as the body count escalates, and with his most challenging battle remaining, Lord unleashes a torrent of bloody carnage and reveals a secret that threatens to tear down the entire enterprise. Also featuring Daniel Dae Kim (TV’s Lost) and Nina Dobrev (TV’s The Vampire Diaries).

If you're a fan of the game Tekken then this is for you. A criminal mastermind runs a fight to the death series of games on pay to view via the internet. Every fight has a theme and is staged in front of a green screen computer generated background and the loser dies. Its not original but it diesn't suffer from the low budget and if you want to watch vicious fights then it fits the bill. There's even a story of sorts. Bit of laugh including Nina Dobrev in the casting though, she dies in the first scene.

Some guy (who cares - he's the hero) gets abducted by one of those sinister organisations who stage online fights to the death to amuse the masses when X-Factor isn't on telly. He has to fight for his freedom, or escape, or do something like that.
Let's face it, the only reason this got made is because Samuel L Jackson is in it. By and large, the acting is terrible from everyone - even the man himself. He's okay, but he could act his way through this with his eyes closed. Although why he chose to do this film while he is still being offered projects like The Avengers in anyone's guess!
The fight scenes aren't bad. They have added `cool' effect to them thanks to some trendy slow-mo, but the story (and I use the word `story' in its loosest possible terms) is predictable and riddled with cliches (and `twists' you can see coming a mile off). However, despite all this, the film isn't totally unwatchable.
For some reason it's not that bad. If you don't mind your films pretty dumbed down and badly acted then get a couple of beers in plus an extra large bucket of popcorn, put your mind on hold and watch the (CGI) blood flow.

If you like good old fashioned fight movies where people bloodily beat each other up then this film is for you, the story has been done before but this does add a few new elements to the story and even has a little twist believe it or not, the fights are gritty and realistic with plenty of brutal bloody action and some gory scenes too, its slightly on the cheesy side but thats what makes it utterly entertaining and fun to watch, get some popcorn, take your brain out and have a good time with this!!

Fun but don't expect any oscars.
OK, there are times when you want a film that you don't have to think with. You want blood, you want combat and you want a crime edge to it. So what do you do? Read more

Not worth buying
The basic premise of this film has been done many times before and many times better, even when performed by professional wrestlers in The Condemned (2007). Read more
