The Cage

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.

First off, I am a big MMA fan, so I decided to check this out. I should have came here (IMDB) first, but decided to watch it blindly. Second of all, what was the point of putting in the cameo fighters other than to draw you into a horribly plotted, poorly written, pathetically executed soft core porn with less than any sort of believable fighting...oh I know...to sell tickets or get people to rent the POS...ugggg!!!

This has to be one of the worst movies I have ever seen. The only good part about it was that it was so bad it made me laugh at such "talent" and "acting skills" lmao...I have seen 4th grade plays with more direction and talent. Bravo for such a good effort! Heeheeehaww!!

I give this flick 1* because GSP is i the film. Other then that it is simply Kick boxer spliced into MMA with loads of soft porn.

Through every second of this film my partner and i couldn't figure out why anyone would make this crap?

It was so bad we turned it off near to the end.

I love UFC and ill say this much, If you have no brain cells and get off on thee most unrealistic fights scenes ever and like your soft porn = Buy and cherish this flick ;)

Although if you are a die hard UFC fan then you will obviously have to add this one to your collection.

Unwrapped and dusty it'll be though ;)

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!

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.
