Too pro USA? sponsored by US Army?

Rating: 5/10 (9 December 2011)

The movie would be much better if it was less pro USA. I liked the Idea. I love MMA but as an non-American this really spoiled it for me.
First of all. You can see the movie is sponsored by the US Army. The army kid who is a hero. In the fight with his bro he looks at the army men in the audience and all sudden gains his strengths again. so cliché.
Then again the bad guy is off course the Russian Koba. Hello?! Cold war is over. But the funniest and dumbest thing was that Koba enters the ring with a former Soviet Union flag?!?! The writers must have forgot the Berlin wall has been down since '89 and the Soviet Union doesn't exist.
Off course wrestling is the base of both fighters. That didn't surprise me.
Another thing. Brazilians rule MMA in the world and especially in the UFC. I haven't seen a Brazilian fighting in the whole movie? If you're an American teenager you'll like the movie. Too bad they didn't think off a broader audience.
Have you seen Redbelt (2008)? A BJJ movie. Much better.
Greetz.
