    Jiu jitsu is a movie with no jiu jitsu.

    This movie is just so bad.. You'd think there would be some jiu jitsu in a movie that's called Jiu jitsu.. But no.. Nicolas Cage + the lack of jiu jitsu.. Its just horrible...

    Shockingly bad.

    From the dialogue to the fight choreography, I can't believe they make movies this bad these days, especially with what should be a pretty decent cast. Watch it for comedy value if you're bored enough.

    Jiu Jitsu is really Joke Jitsu

    This is one of the worst movies I have yet to see. There is a lot of staged martial arts fighting and if you like that this movie may be for you. The story is really silly and the acting is really second-rate at best. Maybe its really the terrible writing or maybe its the terrible directing, I just can't make up my mind what was worse. When you start to watch this movie you're not sure if its a serious movie or a comedy. By the middle of the movie you really do not care and you can practice speed watching this movie using the fast forward key. I feel almost as bad for the actors in this movie as I do for the people that watched this movie. But at least the actors got paid.

    Surprisingly Bad

    With all the high caliber flicks Cage has been flooding the market with lately I was chomping at the bit for this one... and boy did it not disappoint. It was so bad even Zeus's butthole was shocked into submission. You deserve to get arm barred for this turd Nicolas... wow. Matter of fact you would get more enjoyment out of watching a stray dog drop a deuce than sit through this again...

    I have no idea what happened here

    I often like to watch trash/bad movies for fun, but man... I had literally no idea what was happening during 90% of this movie.

    I won't take too long here, but almost everything is bad, the story doesn't make sense... the alien has a fetish on fighting humans? The acting is bad, and well, they sell you on a classic Nic Cage bad movie, but he's barely in the movie.

    Pretty awful. I will give them some credit tho, cause they try to use some different camera styles on the fighting scenes, and well, in some of them the choreography isn't horrible, still, there are so many of them you easily get tired of watching.

    To sum up, a bad bad movie, there isn't much here that's worth giving a shot.
