Perfect cast and a good story
Don't listen to the negative reviews

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
When you prepare yourself to watch a low budget action film, you can expect there's going to be a certain amount of gratuitous violence executed in a style that might be considered passable at best. But Fabien, Lohan, and their "Z Team" deliver spectacular balls-out choreography, brilliantly executed, at par or better than most big budget feature films. And much like any Jackie Chan film, story isn't really that important, but this is actually a fairly cool premise with a satisfying twist. Keep an eye on these guys. I'm sure we'll be seeing them again soon. That is if they don't beat the crap out of each other first.
The fighting alone makes it worth the 6/10. The acting was hard to watch.. The story was nothing worse than what you'd find in other martial arts movies like Ong Bak, etc. The movie has A LOT of fighting in it, and thankfully you don't have to sit through to much of the painful acting. The majority of the fights are really well done (especially those with the lead actor).The fighters themselves can seriously fight. They have technique and speed that I've seen from more famous actor/fighters (Tony Jaa, Iko Uwais). The lead actor is especially fun to watch. If you're a martial arts fanatic like myself, you'll really appreciate the skill that he has. It's a shame these guys don't have a bigger budget to work with or may never getting the fame and reputation of guys like Tony Jaa but I truly believe they have the same level of skill as the famous guys.I really hope to see more of these guys in more professional shot/ editing movies.
Worth the watch! This movie is action packed with crazy awesome fighting throughout the whole movie and the fights just kept just getting more and more intense! It's absolutely worth checking out because you won't see fight scenes like these everyday. For a low budget movie they did a great job with all the action and the fight choreography was new and refreshing compared to other movies. Anyone who says "bad fighting" is crazy because the fighting was absolutely amazing and these martial artists are extremely skilled at what they do. Most Hollywood movies these days are all wires and CG and stunt doubles - so it's been awhile since I've seen fighting like this. I hope these guys keep making more movies because I look forward to watching them!
This doesn't need to be one of those movies you will ignore by from the ratings or reviews. There have been plenty worse movies with a better cast and a bigger budget. Even though it's got one of the worst act on screen, the accents hurt your ears and a very very poor script with a faulty twist in the end. Yes, Yes there is plenty to mourn about this movie.But one thing it serves up is some amazing mixed martial art. Its just a bunch of actors trying to gain more recognition by putting out their talents out there, which is quiet impressive and you almost end up feeling sorry for them. Most of the actors in this movie have played high profile stunt roles in some big movies and this is just their beginner project they have served up for you to give it a chance at the very least.Except the action the rest of the elements drag you down, but the coordination between the actors is really good. With better direction and a bigger budget this would have definitely been a gem and yes maybe work on their accents a little bit.Hey don't take my word for it,watch it to judge it but DO NOT EXPECT ANYTHING MORE THAN SOME GOOD MIXED MARTIAL ART, and I mean anything!
