Notes

My quick rating - 3,8/10. If you have been looking for that movie to see Michael Bisping beat the shit out of women, here it is. This series has been around for a while and this underground fighting plot has been around even longer. But this is by far the weakest entry so far. The first one had some minor star power and actually played out decently. The next two had a slight favorite of mine in Michael Jai White and actually kept the MMA action flix going quite well, all hovering in the 6 range (from me and IMDB). But all of that is completely lost here. Not because they have changed to using the underground fighters to women. No, that is not the issue at all with this one. First, you really don't know that is what is happening straight off. Ok, I am good with a little misdirection so I let it slide but then it turned into a bizarre more like human trafficking-type movie that occasionally made the women fight for the pleasure of the soon-to-be suitors. So I never was sure if it was about the fighting or the kidnapping of the women being sold off. On top of this, the choreography of the fight scenes is non-existent so a big sell would be seeing some good fight scenes and that gets left out. Then after our star's (Hannah Al Rashid) brother is able to get someone to believe that his sister is in trouble and being held against her will the whole thing ends in an anticlimactic jumble of nonsense. I suppose getting people to buy into these fight clubs existing is becoming plausible so now it is time to start selling them happening to women. I don't doubt somewhere it is happening but I still doubt it is anywhere close to as glorious as movies such as these make it out. Also, they always seem to be so well-known known about yet never can the police figure out where they are. I guess tropes that have been developed for this sub-genre need to be created somewhere.
