Having just watched this film - aside from the nice mis en scene and visual trickery employed by the director... this film is embarrassing.
Taking itself quite seriously, the film concerns a betting ring of 'executives' who bet on an underground fight tournament made up of 'everyday' people. That happen to be quite proficient in fighting. That IS as far as the plot extends. There's barely ANY characterisation or depth to anyone in this film.
The scenes and fight sequences become formulaic, use the same visual techniques and it all becomes just a bit of 'blood for blood's sake' (the spray from the mouth when hit is even in there too!). You'd get far more entertainment from watching your local delinquents fight outside of your Co-Op store.
As a Brit, I'm embarrassed this film is even out there. The acting is shoddy to say the least (Danny-John Jules should be ashamed of this). The fighters I believe have no previous 'acting' experiences or abilities, but have been employed purely based on their aesthetically pleasing looks and a competency in martial arts/combat of some form.
Once again, the Brits have done themselves proud by illustrating to the world that they can't pull off another genre.
