He soon gets involved with a group of fighters all trained by an ex-con named Case Walker (MJW) a former professional MMA fighter who could have been great had it not been for his past, which is revealed as the film goes on. As the film goes on we find out what his problem with his Dad is, and any mention of it drives Stokes into fits of anger and rage. The film opens as we find Mike Stokes (Geyer) arriving at college, and already we can see that he’s a troubled kid, specifically in regards to his father. Maybe that attitude helps in regards to ring fighting, but it’s not something I care for, so please keep that in mind as you read this review. While I respect mixed-martial arts as a style I don’t like the overly arrogant macho-aggressive attitude that accompanies many within the MMA culture. So how both of them drove this film off a god***n cliff escapes me.įirst, a caveat: I’m not a fan of UFC, Pride, or any of that stuff. His star in the world of martial arts cinema is rising more and more. Larnell Stovall first came to the attention to many in the world of fight choreography with Undisputed 3, Bunrakuand then with Mortal Kombat: Legacy webseries. He began to take his career into his own hands with the kickass Undisputed 2, and then Blood and Bone, to the terrific Black Dynamite. Films like Spawn, Silverhawk, and more have shows that he is a skilled martial artist and actor. Michael Jai White has been kicking ass ever since, well, ever. Starring Michael Jai White, Dean Geyer, Alex Meraz, Todd Duffee
