Cage Fight (2012)

No wait, that's not it. Seriously though: Cage fighting or illegal fighting in general ... who hasn't heard about it? Does this movie add anything new? Not really. Are the action scenes that good that you will be wooed by them? I don't think so either. One thing you shouldn't do at all: watch this movie with the German dub! It's really terrible! I have a feeling they either used people who work at their office or randomly recorded people on the street! No emotion, no "acting", no anything that is helpful to the movie.Don't get me wrong, it's not a super movie to begin with, it's decent if you're willing to see the low budget, oversee some over acting, the clichés, dumb dialog and plot holes as big as they get ... but the dubbing lowers it to a whole different level. So the verdict for the dubbed version would be a 1/10. As it is, I acknowledge the low budget and some of the ideas they were trying to get across.

If you are looking for a serious, dramatic, Bourne style action flick, watch something else. If however, you want to watch a fun, entertaining, Spanish language action flick written by the legendary Art Camacho watch this now! When Guerrero illegal crosses from Mexico into the United States, he is quickly noticed by a group of gangsters. They are interested in exploiting his skills to make some money. Fortunately for these gangsters, Guerrero is in need of some help, and if he cooperates with them they will help him get what he needs. Awesome fight scenes, fun action sequences and an interesting cast make for a very fun movie. Watch this for a great time, full of good action and laughs.

Good cage fighting film. The fight scenes are good. The story makes sense and is believable. No romance, just a guy (Guerrero) trying to find his family after being smuggled back into the U.S. from Mexico. He has to fight to earn money to find his family. The guys who basically own him are running illegal cage fights. They take advantage of the fact that he has no money and is desperately looking for his family. They promise him they will help with the search and pay him very well for his fights. Although Guerrero does not know this, basically if he doesn't win they will kill him. They are corrupt and murderers. This film did a good job keeping my interest to see if he would win, how bad he was going to get beat up along the way and if he would find his family. There is a twist at the end of the movie too.

Let me say first of all, that if what I am about to write is considered a spoiler, you should thank me as it may keep you from wasting your time on watching this film.I saw this title at my local library and being a fan of cage fighting, I checked it out. First problem, it's in Spanish. It doesn't say it's a Spanish speaking film and that right there would have helped immensely! It doesn't translate well at all and is a distracting factor in trying to get anything out of the film. Second problem,the fight scenes are a joke. Nothing realistic about any of the fight scenes, the people fighting or for that matter, the people acting. Totally forced, nothing authentic about the acting as well.So, to conclude, my rating says it all. It was awful!
