The Cage

I was pleasantly surprised by this film as its something you can enjoy even if you're not that into UFC. Having said that it is ESSENTIAL for fans of UFC with appearances from Rampage, GSP and BJ Penn. Films starring sports figures have generally been hit and miss (Space Jam anybody?) but Never Surrender is definitely a hit. Rampage is particularly convincing and shows signs of what might be a looming crossover into Hollywood (The Rock anybody?)

This movie doesn't require many brain cells and that's the joy of it - you won't get lost following the story and it never descends into anything even slightly mundane.

Hector Echavarria does a great job as Diego Carter, a world champion who risks his life and his reputation in the illegal underworld or MMA. It's got women, weapons and wheels - so is satisfying on all fronts.

The only disappointment is that it ends after 90 mins. I could have watched about 3 hours of it.

Its out on DVD in the UK on 22nd June for all British fans of this fine sport... and for girls who want 90 mins of peace and quiet while their boyfriends sit glued to the screen.

Hector Echavarria please for the love of the movie going public never make a movie ever again! You make everyone sound like a Mexican, GSP's voice might be the funniest thing ever! Also, if you watch late night HBO porn, this movie actually has worse actors! BJ Penn and Rampage have a sweet 1 minute cameo, and I actually gave up on the movie before I ever saw Anderon Slyva. This movie consists of round house kicks, sex, huge haymakers, sex, jumping back fists, sex, terrible lead acting, sex and Hector Echavarria attempts to be an MMA god and fails miserbly. So, in closing, Hector Echavarria please attempt another career because movie making is not in your future. I heard Billy Mays job is open, you might have a good shot at that!

NEVER SURRENDER

There really is not a lot positive I can say about this movie. It was terrible.

The story was bad, the acting was worst and the fighting scenes were comical.

It was about a champion MMA fighter who sees a girl in a club that he likes. She introduces him to a bloke who runs an illegal cage fighting tournament. This tournament is dangerous and people can get seriously injured or even die. The movie then becomes a revenge movie as the owner of this company kills one of his friends in a fight and beats up his girlfriend and a few other women.

I have not seen acting this bad for a long time. Not one person in the film was convincing as their character. All completely square and boring. Although there is one guy in the film that has a really fake accent... it is funny. He made me laugh a few times in the movie.

The fighting scenes were worst than watching professional wrestling. WWE is more realistic. haha

What makes me laugh is on the front cover of the DVD, the biggest pictures is of Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson... he is int he movie for about 2 minutes... he has one bad street fight scene and that's him done for the whole movie. I am surprised anyone hired him after this.

There is nothing but bad acting, bad fighting and sex through the whole film!

I will give this 3 out of 10.

The tag line on the poster says:

"THE WORLD'S TOP MMA FIGHTERS IN THEIR FIRST FEATURE FILM"...

it should say on the end of that... AND THEIR LAST!

I thought that it was an OK movie, not too bad, as it's been rated. I think the rating of 3 is too harsh; 6/7 would do.

The storyline could have been a lot better, adding more spices and a touch of elegance to it, but i can say that; this movie is a lot better than other movies which have been rated a lot more than this movie.

The girls were amazing and very sexy, and add a touch of love in the movie, which you wouldn't expect in MMA movies. The fighting was OK, but could have been better.

Overall, i thought this movie was an satisfactory movie. Tweaking it and making it better could for some viewers, find it enjoying and fun to watch. If you like MMA with a touch of 'sexy', you'll like this movie.

The cover tricked me into renting this film. The UFC fighters pictured on the front cover are only in the film for a brief period of time. The acting is poor, and plot is poor. However, the film did keep me slightly entertained, despite being a poor film.

If you are a fan of mixed martial arts, do not rent the film. I am a moderate fan, but quickly decided that I do not view this film for authenticity of mixed martial arts, instead I viewed it as entertainment. The fights scenes do not resemble fighting or mixed martial arts. It is more like violent dancing. Very unrealistic fights.

Overall, the film is bad, and I honestly felt embarrassed that I was watching it at times. A 4/10 is a bit easy, I probably should have voted 3.
