If you take the martial arts classics of "Karate Kid" and "No Retreat No Surrender" and add some Beverly Hills / Fight Club ingredients - the outcome would be this movie. A fast flowing, punch, block, submit and kick, quick thinking adrenaline rush movie.
In my opinion there aren't enough of these movies. The majority of recent martial arts movies have overpaid Hollywood actors or an abundance of high wire CGI effect ridden pieces, that look good and are excellent films in their own right - but it's so nice to see a movie that looks really good, contains some excellent choreographed fight scenes and has some upcoming stars.
The story sees Jake Tyler (Faris), American football all-star who has anger issues in consequence to the death of his father. He moves house with his family and joins a new school where his past American football exploits are discovered and he's tricked into a martial arts fight contest with Ryan McCarthy (Gigandet). It's a high-flyer world of huge mansions, flashy cars, and gorgeous girls but Tyler seeks refuge and support in a local martial arts club run by Jean Roqua (Hounsou) and begins to train to become the best he can be.
Beyond the adrenaline rush of training, sparring and learning techniques this movie touches on the emotional side of blame and disappointment, pride and friendship and more than anything - determination.
Excellent mixed martial arts movie, that has an awe-inspiring soundtrack and definitely, when it comes to the fighting sequences, this hits the mark.

I enjoyed watching this movie. The movie can be compared to old skool classical martial arts movies like the "karate kid" . But this time the movie is packed in a new refreshing jacket with some new modern elements that make the movie more mature ( since the fight scenes are quit realistic and more violent compared to old skool movies like the karate kid ) and diverse ( since mma is added into the story ). The addition of modern day "mixed martial arts" into the movie makes the fighting and training scenes very entertaining to watch. The camera work is good, the music is nice, and the acting is surprisingly good also. The actors did a good job. If you are a fan of martial arts movies, then this one is highly recommended, since it gives you that feeling like "damn i wanne train" ... . By the way does anyone know if the UK blu-ray disc has dutch subtitles ?
