Victory by Submission

To be honest some Christian movies are weak sauce and cheesy. This one was not like that. It was super intense, so very dark scenes and really some great acting. Alan Autry, and Bret Prieto are a couple great actors and they sold me. The fight scene was well done and the message was solid .

This is a Faith Based Indy film made in Fresno, CA, using mostly local actors from DeVore Studios. I saw the screening of this film at People's Church a few weeks ago. As a native Fresnan, I recognized most of the locations. Brett Prieto's performance as "Tommy" is outstanding in my opinion, although Brett looks more like a male model than a MMA fighter. The fight scenes seemed very realistic, in fact, a friend who accompanied me to the screening is a Nurse Practitioner, and was grossed-out by the scene where "Crazy Dan" is badly beaten-up in the ring. She kept saying "This is horrible! This is just horrible!". I had to keep reassuring her that I know the actor that played Crazy Dan, and he is just fine. Kudos to Alan Autry for all his hard work on this film, and I hope to see more films from him in the near future.

Amazing that movies like this ever see the light of day. You have to wonder if anyone involved in the production has ever seen an actual movie before.

Everything about this movie was bad - literally not one redeeming quality. Curious why Bellator would bother to invest in a Christian movie. But then again their brand was a laughing stock and part of why they're no longer a company.

Whoever financed this movie should be embarrassed for the money they wasted and the time they've taken from all of the people that had the misfortune of being subjected to this pathetic attempt at film.

1 out of 10, without hesitation.
