Let's settle this: Is WARRIOR a good MMA movie or not?

I thought Warrior was ok. Nick Nolte and Kurt Angle were the best parts of this movie.

Best MMA movie so far is Here Comes the Boom.

Having Kurt Angle play the 'Hollywood version of Fedor,' was hilarious.

I only watched it once, probably when it came out on DVD, but wouldn't mind watching it again.

It wasn't seemless but you could tell they put a lot of care and effort into it. The performances were good and the dialogue was surprisingly well crafted. It wasn't phoned in, like most movies are today.

It was better than a movie of that genre should have been.

Speaking of MMA movies, I always wondered what happened to the proposed MMA movie from 2007 called Never Submit.

It was supposed to star a number of MMA fighters in either big or bit parts.

Here are a couple of articles about it . . .

Then shortly after, the project/movie just basically disappeared.

I kind of figure that it morphed into either that Never Back Down movie or Warrior.

Never back down fits on a name basis , I’m sure that was it.
