About this movie

Jake (Sean Faris) is the new kid in school. When a beautiful girl (Amber Heard) befriends him, Jake thinks he's set. But instead, her fight-club boyfriend, Ryan (Cam Gigandet), smacks Jake a bloody, black-eyed welcome. Humiliated, Jake then turns to a mixed martial arts (MMA) master (Djimon Hounsou), who teaches him how to fight...and how to walk away. But it becomes obvious that a brutal re-match is inevitable if Jake wants to stop Ryan and his bullying, once and for all.

if you're looking for story then don't bother with this film. that being said, if you are looking for a movie that is just a good ol' fashioned brawl film then this is your movie. that party scene...priceless, and the parking lot scene at the end is so-so. over all its worth a watch every so often or if you just wanted to feel pumped!

I really enjoyed this movie. Great story to go with an action film. Good amount of mixed martial arts and dramatic pieces all rolled into a well paced film that keeps you balanced throughout. Certainly worth owning as I never get bored watching this underrated film.

Thus quite literally is a movie for teenagers. How any adult coukd take this seriously is beyond me. I saw it with my 15yr old cousins and they were into it. Me i justvsat there and was waiting for some action that made sense. Bad acting, bad story.
