I watched this movie based on the Amazon reviews here so it's my own fault really!

This is a souless mish mash of popular action films of days gone by such as The Karati Kid and Fight Club, deliberately targeting the Dawson's Creek audience. The acting is of Dawson's Creek standards too, lots of school kids who look 30 trying to be all grown up while having terribly one dimentional angst issues and who like to film school yard scraps with their mobile phones to be posted on the web.

But the main aim of the film is to show fighting action and is therefore based on the UFC 'style' of fighting. This here was the main problem with the film: Isn't UFC fixed? Another extention of the Wrestlemania phenomina? Is it possible ... Read More:

If you take the martial arts classics of "Karate Kid" and "No Retreat No Surrender" and add some Beverly Hills / Fight Club ingredients - the outcome would be this movie. A fast flowing, punch, block, submit and kick, quick thinking adrenaline rush movie.

In my opinion there aren't enough of these movies. The majority of recent martial arts movies have overpaid Hollywood actors or an abundance of high wire CGI effect ridden pieces, that look good and are excellent films in their own right - but it's so nice to see a movie that looks really good, contains some excellent choreographed fight scenes and has some upcoming stars.

The story sees Jake Tyler (Faris), American football all-star who has anger issues in consequence ... Read More:

although i must boast a big fan of horror films, i do feel that over the past few years horror films have been churned out in big batches without having any real storyline. This was a good film, it had a good plot and the acting was mostly sound. There were plenty of shocks and freaky moments,but i must admit i guessed the kller well before the end.

Not a bad little teen thriller. Pretty dark and a bit slow to start but enjoyable once the premis is set. Reasonable performace from Jon Bon Jovi as the teacher, a good twisty turny story with some obvious points and others I certainly didn't see coming. Great for a quiet evening in or a sleepy sunday afternoon, not massively challenging but entertaining enough. If you loved Gossip or similar films, you'll like this.
