Ultimate Fight

As real as it gets... Real Fighters, Exceptional Full Contact choreography by the legendary Ernie Reyes, Sr. A compelling and meaningful storyline carried by wonderful performances. Ernie Reyes Jr. is awesome. UFC Fight considered the fights "Top Notch." Others give the film's story and direction a "Black Belt." Over 1600 martial arts school owners who screened the film in Orlando gave it great reviews. Won 'Best Picture" at the action on Film Festival... Finally, a martial arts movie made by martial artists, for martial artists... People who have seen it as crushed and streamlined download through pirate internet sites don't have a fair representation by which to criticize the picture or sound mix... Watch it legitimately on the big screen, then make your comments... True MMA fans, fighters, and Martial Artists love it, and that makes me proud of the incredible team that put this project together. Great Work!

This film touched all aspects of great entertainment. Action, comedy and love. It pulled on my heart strings, made me laugh out loud and had me intrigued through the whole film. It engages both those interested in martial arts and those didn't know they were. You'll be on the edge of your seat as this story unfolds. There are great actors who deliver to their potential ad well as unknown names who set new standards. There is a hot level of excitement that reaches all crowds, from Vegas nights to fantastic eye candy. There was not one full moment in this film keeping the whole audience engaged. You will not be disappointed. Never has there been a film in martial arts that has actors with such martial art experience. A fight scene is not just a movie, it's true action.

This Submission Movie is a Must See! Great actors, great fight scenes, and a great story. You will want to buy this for your library once it comes out on DVD. Grab a bunch of friends when it comes to a theater near you and don't miss it. There is also a great story behind the production of this film. Much blood, sweat, and tears have went in to making this film for us to see. Several years in the making and now it's time for you to enjoy an amazing project that will get you excited to bring others. Check out the cast if you haven't yet and I am sure you will see some popular names that you have enjoyed watching in the past.

I am rarely tempted to review a movie, but in this case I am willing to stick my neck out.

Although this movie had me watching until the end, it was with a good deal of frustration. I am a one-time martial artist and a keen fight spectator, and in my opinion, the fight scenes in this movie were not (for the most part) up to snuff. I'm not saying that the fighters were amateurs, it was the choreography that annoyed me. Many of the moves and techniques seemed to be used simply for the looks, and not for authenticity. Without going into specifics (I don't want to give away spoilers) the were a lot of very poor choices of hold/grapple/blow that you simply would not see in real competition. The very experienced Ernie Reyes Sr. dropped the ball on this one.

Another bug-bear was the music being that it was way too loud in some places, actually drowning out the dialogue, and inappropriate in other places.

Having said all that, I thought the acting was good for the most part, and in particular one scene featuring John Savage and Ki Reyes (Oscar), which had my partner tearing up.

In summary, I would not recommend this for anyone who just wants to see an MMA movie, and also not for the hard of hearing:) I'd rather rent 'Redbelt' or 'Never back down'.

Art of Submission is not only a great movie for UFC fans but contains many family relationships which the whole family can enjoy and relate too. The relationship between Johnny and his father unfolds, develops and grows through out the movie until the final scenes. An excellent performance by Mario Alonso (Johnny's mother). With the back drop of Las Vegas, under the superb directing of Ken Chamitoff and Adam Boster actors Ernie Reyes Junior, Sarah Downing, Ving Rhames and John Savage come together to make a heart warming story come to life. The struggle between failure and redemption through the venue of UFC is truly inspiring for parents and children of all ages. The excellent choreography of legendary martial arts Ernie Reyes makes for exciting fight scenes. A great film for the whole family. Thoroughly recommend.
