Predictable, but entertainment

Rating: 7/10 (29 June 2010)

This film is clearly an entertainment film: It is not trying to be clever, no incredible acting, no awful acting, no original plot, but its a tried and tested one. It seems to be a chick flick modernisation of the Karate Kid, but with MMA. Some of it even has hints of Fight Club (the main guy is called Tyler, isn't he?) I would be a fool to watch this film expecting to be wowed, but I would also be a fool to say it was bad, it did exactly what I expected, it entertained, while giving a slight bit of motivation. Its kinda like a chick flick that a guy doesn't have to be embarrassed about liking. Oh yeah, and Cam Gigandet is unbelievably ripped, that's sure to make you wanna get down to the gym and get some training in.
