Best movie of this year hands down!
Sorry, this movie sucks
Absolutely Brilliant!
In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
No wait, that's not it. Seriously though: Cage fighting or illegal fighting in general ... who hasn't heard about it? Does this movie add anything new? Not really. Are the action scenes that good that you will be wooed by them? I don't think so either. One thing you shouldn't do at all: watch this movie with the German dub! It's really terrible! I have a feeling they either used people who work at their office or randomly recorded people on the street! No emotion, no "acting", no anything that is helpful to the movie.Don't get me wrong, it's not a super movie to begin with, it's decent if you're willing to see the low budget, oversee some over acting, the clichés, dumb dialog and plot holes as big as they get ... but the dubbing lowers it to a whole different level. So the verdict for the dubbed version would be a 1/10. As it is, I acknowledge the low budget and some of the ideas they were trying to get across.
This flick was straight up awesome. My dudes and I rolled a swisher and straight rolled laughing at this. Big ass Mexican dudes beating the stuffing out of each other is always good. Guerrero is trying to get back to his family you know, and his massive muscle power and fighting skills will help him get him there somehow. These gangster dudes for sure want to use him to make money, so they promise to get him to his baby, and baby momma. Dude straight beast-modes several guys in khakis and wife beaters, for touching random dimes, and several other reasons. Will he get to see his family after committing several felonies, and possible murders? Watch and found out for yourself man. Seriously watch it this is a fun movie with some great MMA inspired fight scenes.
"Cage Fight" follows Guerrero, an illegal immigrant from Mexico who crosses the border in the trunk of the car looking for his family. (He was deported without them knowing)After he arrives the corrupt crime lord Santoro gets him to fight in underground fights for him. He wins and Santoro selects him to fight in a Cage Fight. Guerrero agrees, but only so he can win enough money to find his family. The film is fun and reminded me of the Van Damme movie "Bloodsport" The action moves quickly and I found myself caring about Guerrero. There are twists that happen and characters are not what they appear. The fight scenes are well executed and all and all "Cage Fight" is a fun movie perfect for a Friday night!
Let me say first of all, that if what I am about to write is considered a spoiler, you should thank me as it may keep you from wasting your time on watching this film.I saw this title at my local library and being a fan of cage fighting, I checked it out. First problem, it's in Spanish. It doesn't say it's a Spanish speaking film and that right there would have helped immensely! It doesn't translate well at all and is a distracting factor in trying to get anything out of the film. Second problem,the fight scenes are a joke. Nothing realistic about any of the fight scenes, the people fighting or for that matter, the people acting. Totally forced, nothing authentic about the acting as well.So, to conclude, my rating says it all. It was awful!
