    Blink and miss HARDY

    Despite my modest expectations for Hardy to appear as one of the opposing boxers, this is not the case. In fact, Tom Hardy seems to appear only very briefly in one scene as car mechanic "Rodder" (who says "Pop the hood"). If you are his fan, do not watch unless just to fast forward to that scene.

    crap

    this film isn't even worth the time or enormous effort in watching, just by watching the trailer you will understand the reasoning to which i am giving this film a one out of ten. And believably enough that it is enough to bore you to tears to the point where you would rather die than continue to watch the next thirty seconds of highlights, the acting is worse than mediocre and is as if the people were told the lines and mechanically told to re site them, i can not act to save my life however i could of done a better job myself and stopped people from wanting to commit suicide, not very entertaining at all with the people speaking as if pretending it was real, no story line, unrealistic fight scenes with bad prosthetic blood. incredibly bad use of Geordie language which is embarrassing to the Geordie accent. this review is just from clips and the trailer to which i saw no reason to torture myself any longer and put myself through the whole film. quite frankly it is the biggest flop of a film i could have ever imagined and such a shame considering the cause the money is going to .

    A very low budget poorly acted street fighting movie that is only for people who LOVE this genre. Pretty bad to me. I say C-

    "I might be wrong, but I'm guessing you know something that I don't." A struggling fight promoter Ray 'Harley' Davidson (Fargas) is running out of money and respect in town. When he meets Charles Buchinsky (Alexander) he thinks he found his way back to the top. If you absolutely love UFC and street fighting you will like this. If you love watching street fighting you will like this. If you enjoy watching movies like that but aren't totally psyched about them then this may be a struggle to get through. I have seen worse, but I'm pretty sure the budget was around 100 bucks. The fighting was pretty fake, the acting was not good, but again, if you like movies like this that doesn't matter. This movie was made a few years ago, and like "Bending All The Rules" is only now coming out because an actor who is in it for five minutes (Tom Hardy in this one) is hot right now. Overall, a movie for people that love this kind of thing. If, like me, you think a few are OK then I would look for something else. I give it a C-.

    Would I watch again? - No, I almost didn't make it through once.

    SUCKER PUNCH

    I thought the movie was amazing ,much like Hard Times with charles Bronson. The acting was ssuperb and the actors and actresses were great. Gordon Alexander was teriffic in the lead role as the drifter seeking to win back his past. He played the part astonishling well and Ian freeman was excellent in his part. I really enjoyed the story line and action. The fight scenes were awesome and well choroegraphed. I found the emotions in this movie to be real and well portrayed. I would highly recommend seeing this as i bought the film to watch again. Hats off to the director for bringing such a great film to the screen.
