Could have been better

This is a strange movie that crocop decided to make! If you are expecting a whole lot of MMA action, then you will be disappointed. Most of the fights scenes (and there were only 4 short ones) are rather van damme like, though there was one with benicic (fellow Croatian team fighter) which did have some decent moves.

The dialogue is very minimal throughout the movie, it seems like crocop only says about 5 lines. The storyline is a bit strange too, kinda like.....well....van damme's universal soldier.

The director seemed like he was making a music video clip, with the use of color and exposure in the movie. Still, it does look quite nice, and it is different.

All in all, i give the movie a 6. It wasn't really great in any particular way. I guess they didn't have a huge budget, but I'm sure they could have done better fight scenes. I'm a crocop fan myself, but i was still disappointed in the movie. worth renting to check watch once, but i wouldn't buy it.
