    Tickets for theme parks unorganised

    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.

    Eric Weinstock has done it again!!

    An incredible film written by, you guessed it, Eric Weinstock! I am a very harsh grader, but this film just simply exceeded my expectations, and I would honestly give it a 10/10. Watching this movie was a nail-biting experience, I will never forget, with a plot twist you will never see coming! Definitely one of the best fighting movies I have ever seen. Great for the whole family, besides the young ones. A true work of art! This is what movies are supposed to be like! Incredible! Phenomenal! Brilliant acting and writing! I would definitely recommend this movie! Just simply, amazing.

    great idea, no substance

    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.

    Sadly, no juggalos were involved.

    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.

    It could have been a contender ...

    ... with a better story, better execution, better actors ... The concept seems solid, but the flow of the story just doesn't work well. In my opinion, it was clearly capable of being a much better movie with the resources which appear to have been available. Over all feeling was someone gathered a few good actors and a group of others without acting skill, or experience, and then shot a movie without regard to whether or not elements of the story made sense. The over all story *could* have worked, but it contains too many implausible elements.

    Cinematography, sound and set locations are well done. Unfortunately that cannot save a poor script and weak acting.

      Santos' threat to reveal the link to the police is meaningless. A video of a supposed murder isn't proof, since it could easily be faked. And, if there was a charge levied against Sean, Santos would be included as an accessory before and after the fact.
