Blood Circus

What could have been a great plot is let down by some wooden acting. There is no depth or substance to the film and frequently actors look awkward and amateurish. As a previous reviewer said, there was a gathering of a few good actors but even they look lacking amongst the less experienced.

Great film. A great idea executed to perfection. One of the best MMA films I have seen in a while. I would recommend.

My quick rating - 2,9/10. And when the circus comes to town, it makes sure to round up all the most pathetic fighters for a fight to the finish. Including our star, retired MMA fighter (in the movie, not bothering with his name, you will never see him again in a flick) who in a desperate attempt to make some money, enters the secretive warehouse fighting league. Every possible rule you can think of about this fight club is broken. You can come and go as you please, you are scheduled to fight and most important rule of Fight Club you can basically talk about it at will. The good news is there is no way the police will find it since it is in a huge city like New York. Oh, yeah, I am lying again, it is in some podunk town where every single person knows each others parents, yet they are hiding this circus with no one knowing where, and what is going on. Leaving bodies in garbage bins still has the genius detective Tom Sizemore unsure of what is going on. Every bit of this movie is so implausible that it makes it funny. Sizemores career choices add to that humor. There isn't even any decent fight choreography to enjoy. Would you like to know the highlight of the movie??? Kevin Nash is in it. I wouldn't want to give a spoiler and tell you his role, but when that ups your rating, you know the rest has to be pretty bad. IMDB, do NOT believe the rest of the reviews, this movie is awful.

Rides in a theme park are thrills for risks are sold still over certification debatable, questionable, and enforceable over damages invoked should risk undertaken as commerce defeat purposes of investment as risk taken in realism. Rides then are conspiracies of investment where investment in tickets is investment in risks that if all obviated by simultaneous certification of each thus makes investment questionable as made to match risks with risk appetite not for investment thereby. When unorganised, theme parks become risks not of investment of cash but of investment of enterprise to be justified as enterprise to keep conspiracies incurred at every turn context for the next in keeping theme parks theme parks for all where curators of rides have as much to make in equations hatched automatically between cash and enterprise to keep risks of enterprise risks of realism thereby where tickets not cut for a ride becomes turns not taken to abide by the rule of law foresaken in theme parks as theme parks to keep risks of enterprise tickets forgotten in cash undertaken as enterprise thereby.

Unfortunately, the title "Blood Circus" was wasted on a generic "underground MMA fight to the death" movie. Really, if you're going to call your underground MMA fighting to the death movie "Blood Circus", then you should incorporate some circus-themed activities: Juggalos fighting each other, MMA fighters dressed like clowns while fighting, MMA fighters dressed like clowns while fighting on a high wire, etc.

Sadly, the filmmakers didn't share my artistic vision. The "circus" aspect never come into play. The "Blood Circus" is just a guy who I never believed for a second was a "former MMA champ" fighting an assortment of bums until he has to face off with "Santos", the mysterious "ringleader" behind it all. (Actually, I'm only halfway through the movie, so I'm just assuming he'll fight Santos. If he doesn't, I'll sure look stupid.)

A very sad looking Tom Sizemore turns in a bizarre, lazy performance as a detective who, for some reason, talks as fast as possible. I guess the best way to describe his performance would be "imagine someone doing a really bad impression of Brad Pitt in Snatch, minus the accent."

I try to say something positive about every movie I watch, so I'll say this: Robert LaSardo turns In a good performance as Santos's henchman. Oh, and all the actress are pretty cute, so there's that.
