Top Ten for sure!

Rating: 10/10 (22 March 2011)

I never get tired of watching this movie. I can relate to Jake (the main character) because I've always been a loner. The movie does an excellent job of showing that even though he is tortured, Jake is a good guy at heart. His family troubles really hit home, because I've gone through some of the same difficulties. We all have our fight, we just have to make sure we fight for the right reasons. The scene when Jake tells Roqua straight up how it is, is one of my favorite scenes from any movie. The overall feel of the movie is great, and even the supporting actors did well. The soundtrack is phenomenal as well. I watch this movie whenever i need to unwind. Every review I read says this is nothing but a remake of Karate Kid. While they do share similarities, every movie deserves to be judged impartially and not just compared to past movies. Personally, I have always liked this movie more than The Karate Kid. Unless you are an ACTUAL movie critic, then just chill out and enjoy a movie for what it is, not what it isn't. Also, no one cares about personal feelings toward UFC or MMA, that just happened to be a theme of the movie. Anyway, its a great movie and I would recommend it to anybody.
