EFC

As an avid movie watcher and MMA fan, I found "EFC" to be a well-rounded and engaging film that strikes a great balance between thrilling fight action and compelling drama.

Often with fight movies the fights are just thrown in to showcase a cool fight scene to appease the audience or for marketing purposes. The fight action in the movie wasn't random but feels like it was written into the storyline. Each fight had purpose and meaning to it and moved the narrative forward.

"EFC" is a solid mix of fight action and drama that should satisfy both MMA enthusiasts and fans of compelling storytelling. With its talented female leads and thrilling fight sequences, I really enjoyed the time I invested watching it.

I was thoroughly impressed with "EFC." This movie takes us into the world of women's mixed martial arts, at first the focus is on the rivalry between reigning MMA champion Cassidy Jones and ambitious contender Alexa Star but the movie takes a completely different turn and becomes something else and that's was a great thing.

I was skeptical about another movie being promoted as a MMA movie. Any MMA fan has been down this road before but the fight scenes in this movie kept me on the edge of my seat and are really some of the best stuff put together for a movie and while there's a lot of fight action in this movie, I was completely invested into Cassidy's journey and the demon she was battling in her head.

By the end EFC explored a lot of relevant themes faced by women in professional sports, adding depth to the story but while the plot does become predictable at times, The real fight in this movie will surprise you at the end and I thought it was a fitting way to end the movie. I found "EFC" to be an inspiring and very emotional drama that any fans MMA and strong female characters would enjoy.

EFC was actually much better than I expected it to be. The opening fight sequence was very artistic. The movie created a chaotic scene with classical music set in backdrop. The first act felt a bit clumsy largely because the story begins progressing very quickly but the movie seemed to find its footing by the time it hit the second act. EFC is about a struggling women's MMA promotion with limited money trying to go mainstream and hit it big. The story mimics UFC in the 90's when the company was a rag tag fight promotion but eventually went mainstream. EFC delivers some very real and very authentic looking fight scenes. Since the actual fights and their outcome are weaved into the storyline it was hard to predict who would win in any fight sequence. At first glance this movie looks as if it's going to be your typical fight movie with a tale of redemption but the story takes a twist, it actually ends up being much more than that and the characters end up fighting for the future of the sport of women's MMA. The real fight was for something bigger than any character. The performance of the actors and the direction was solid. In the second act John David has to deliver some bad news to Frank the movie villain in a strip club. Oh yes they went there in this women's mma movie but the performance in the scene made the hairs on my skin stand up but overall , EFC is definitely a surprise entry into the sport drama movie arena.

"EFC" is a gem of a film that has all the makings of a future cult classic. This women's MMA drama dives deep into the lives of its fierce and complex characters, bringing viewers on an emotional roll o coaster ride through the gritty world of EFC and its women's mixed martial arts. With powerful performances, engaging storytelling, and amazing fight scenes, "EFC" delivers a captivating experience that defied all my expectations. The film's blend of intense drama, high-stakes competition, and heartfelt character moments creates a story that is both raw and engaging, resonating deeply with audiences. As a film that breaks the mold and stands out from the crowd, "EFC" is destined to become a cult favorite among fans of MMA, strong female protagonists, and gripping storytelling.

It's not just another fight, it's the fight for everything! The movie was definitely not what I expected a women's fight movie to be. While the first half of the movie put outs some great fights this movie was something like Succession from HBO mixed in with MMA but with a tag line like that it seemed like this was going to be the kind of 90s cheesy movie I grew up watching but the movie had a dramatic take to it and the opening scene set quite the tone for it as well.

I did feel some emotions throughout the movie. Especially when I thought Cassidy died in her fight and that was a heart pounding moment but the comedic moments were the best. My favourite scene is when Cassidy goes to Alexa and says "Its not just another fight, it's the fight for everything!" OMG I died laughing. That was the right amount of cheese I need in my movies on a weekend. Not to mention Frank sounds like Deadpool in a suit!!!

EFC will take you for a ride and entertain you at the same time. As DJ aka the Rock would say, "sit down, shut your mouth and know your role" and EFC definitely knows it role in the movie landscape, If you smell what I'm cooking!
